| Imagine the ideal American
city. It
would be a people-focused community, endowed with abundant
natural beauty, a relaxing river and extensive recreational
opportunities. Its climate would be temperate, yet seasonal. Its
neighborhoods would be quiet, well maintained and tastefully
landscaped by thoughtful and hospitable residents. Its
schools would be first-rate in education and sports. Its economy
would be thriving, diversified and resilient. Its government
would be fiscally conservative and socially and culturally
attuned. It would be a safe haven where families could grow and
prosper. It would be Canton, South Dakota. |
