Do yourself a favor and take the time to open a SoFi savings accounts. It could earn you up to 9x more in interest on top of no fees and a $300 bonus with eligible direct deposits — what are you waiting for?

🫶 We got your back
Pom-pour perfection: When life gives you apples, Severance Brewing Co. turns them into sparkling, spiced sips you didn’t know you needed—whether you’re into crisp and dry or sweet and cinnamon-kissed, they’ve got the pour to match your fall-in-love mood.
Last bite, best bite: Tiny towers of frosting, molten center marvels, and a sugar swagger that’ll keep you guessing what’s coming next—CH Patisserie is where your sweet tooth (and your Instagram feed) both get their moment in the spotlight.
Mic drop central: From shower-stall solos to power-ballad bravado and the occasional “sorry, not sorry” encore, The Rush hands you the mic, cranks up the neon, and dares even the most tone-deaf among us to steal the show.
Bolt action: Hunting for bold florals, buttery satins, or that perfect canvas for your next DIY masterpiece? Dutch Rose Quilt Shop stocks bolts of fabric so good you’ll actually look forward to hemming, quilting, or just petting every. single. yard.
Plot twist (AARP is actually amazing): It’s packed with perks that actually matter — discounts at hotels, restaurants, flights, even car rentals. Plus, you’ll unlock a second membership for free for someone else in your house. At just $15 per year… it’s kind of a no-brainer.

Payton H Baker and Greg T Doohen (Keller Williams Realty Sioux Falls) – 4 bedrooms | 3 bathrooms | Built in 2021 | 3815 sqft
River views so close you might need to warn the fish about privacy. The deck practically begs for sunset cocktails, while private stairs deliver you straight to the water—no shoes required. Inside, sleek LED tape lighting sets the mood for everything from Netflix marathons to impromptu dance-offs, and the open-concept layout means you’ll never lose sight of the action (or your snacks).
Motorized screens and a built-in heater on the covered patio make “three-season” feel like a dare. The hidden BB gun shooting range is a secret handshake for fun-lovers, and the garage’s custom awning door opens to a man cave that’s more escape pod than storage space. Deffenbaugh’s handiwork means every inch is a flex—style, comfort, and a sprinkle of mischief, all perched on the river’s edge.
