Our flight had an emergency landing at the ABR airport. I was in Aberdeen for three hours. Everybody was very friendly and helpful. Not a bad place to be stranded for three hours read more

Aberdeen South Dakota - Airport Terminals Near Me

See all

Where to start. I grew up there and overall, looking back it's not COMPLETELY that bad, but it pretty darn boring and COLD as shit in the winter. There's not really a whole lot going on for this place, unless you can truly appreciate it for what it is. I love going back when I can. Now being in my 20's and able to go to the bars, it's not as bad, but, going to the bars is about all there is to do there for people over 21, that and get into trouble which lots of people tend to do, again because there isn't a whole lot for people to do there. Going to the lakes and going camping and outdoors stuff can be a good time, but that can get boring pretty quick as well because there are only a few places to do that kinda stuff. Watch out for the skeeters, they're nasty little suckers and you don't wanna end up with the 'nile. I'm not a hunter, but South Dakota does offer some of the best hunting in the country. As for the people there go, there are the good and the bad, just like anywhere else. I've met and have some of the best friends I'll ever meet from there. Jobs: If you're under 40, there's not a lot going as far as jobs go, nothing interesting anyways, and unless you're a lifer there, I don't know...good luck with that. Culture: Let's just say-I see white people...j/k but there are a lot of white people, some black, some native and little in between. Most of the "culture" comes from the kids who go to NSU (Northern State University) If it weren't for that college, there wouldn't be any racial diversity by any stretch of the mile except for the Natives. Not there's anything wrong with there being a lot of white people in any area or that it even matters, but for cultural references, had to throw it in there. I LOVE Aberdeen, but will do everything in my power to never end up living there again. Too small, nothing to do, and way to damn cold in the winter, which is like 7 or 8 months out of the year. Oh yeah, and the shopping sucks there too and they need better bars there as well, beside the Zoo, which isn't 1/2 bad at all-just need more variety of bars. Hmmmm...maybe I'll open one there...in a few years, seriously though, I've thought about it, then realized I'd have to be in Aberdeen for and extended period of time to open it and the thought of that makes me shudder...no offense to those still there :) read more

One my favorite places to visit have a farm out here get drunk and run a muck with a gun and no one cares.
