Food Hildebrand Sioux Falls

To heck with politics, I’m opening a coffeehouse

l3wis 14Comments

I got this email from Steve Hildebrand yesterday, I wish him the best of luck, but I will say this, there is probably more money in politics then there is in selling scones;

Friends,

Early this summer, I will be opening Josiah’s Coffeehouse and Café in the new CNA Building on the Historic Eastbank of Downtown Sioux Falls. Named in honor of one of the key founders of Sioux Falls, Josiah Phillips, the coffeehouse and café will offer fantastic coffee from Seattle’s famed Caffe Vita Coffee Roasting Company and homemade fare for breakfast, lunch and dinner. A warm, inviting atmosphere, the best coffee in Sioux Falls and fresh-baked goods will be our signature.

Below is an article that ran this morning by the Sioux Falls Business Journal on Josiah’s.

Once we open in early summer, I hope you will visit us on the Eastbank and give our coffee and food a try.

Thanks much.

Steve Hildebrand
Owner/General Partner

I just found this story last night. (Cory also has a post) Good for them. It appears the truckers wanted to go through the reservation to avoid weigh stations and fees;

Five Lakotas on Pine Ridge Indian land in South Dakota were arrested Monday after attempting to block two tarsands pipeline trucks from entering their land. According to the Lakota activist the six-hour standoff started when the trucks refused to turn around claiming they had “corporate rights that supersede any other law.”
