P!nk is set to take the stage at the Denny Sanford PREMIER Center on Monday, October 21st. Before the big concert announcement, officials with the Denny Sanford PREMIER Center warned future concert-goers that these tickets would be pricey. Naturally, Sioux Empire concert-goers are trying to find the best deal possible. Even if it means "talking" to complete strangers online.

On the Denny Sanford PREMIER Center's Facebook page, the team posted Facebook Stories about ticket buyers getting scammed for a chance to obtain P!nk tickets. These scammers are reaching out to Sioux Empire P!nk fans saying they "won tickets" to this epic show through the Denny Sanford PREMIER Center.

Officials with the Denny Sanford PREMIER Center want to remind concert-goers of signs of ticket scammers:

  • The account the concert venue uses on Facebook is this one. The spelling is a huge sign of scams. "Denny Sanford PREMIER Center" is the name of its Facebook page.
  • They will "NOT notify winners for giveaways in the comments" on its Facebook page.
  • If someone asks you for "extra registration," chances are the scammers are asking for more money.
  • ALWAYS verify the website address! Never assume the link is correct.

You can never be too careful! Especially when scammers are this ruthless.

Iconic Sioux Falls: Phillips Avenue Diner, a Downtown Gem

I'll never forget the best malt I ever had. It was many years ago at a new restaurant in Sioux Falls. The restaurant was housed in a silver Airstream trailer on Louise Avenue and was called The Market Diner. The malt was so creamy and I think it was probably the first time I'd ever had whipped cream on top of a malt.
 
The Market Diner was a unique '50s-style dining experience with neon signs, classic vinyl booths, stainless steel counter stools, and even a jukebox.
 
That was over 20 years ago. The Market Diner became Dixie Brothers Grill and eventually closed.
 
A few years later, the trailer was moved to a downtown location on Phillips Avenue, extensively remodeled and renamed Phillips Avenue Diner. The malts have not changed, nor has the diner ambiance.
 
 
My niece Ashlea and I ventured downtown and had lunch at Phillips Avenue Diner. The menu includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner favorites. It's diner classics turned up a notch.

The breakfast menu includes omelets, biscuits and gravy, corned beef hash, and of course waffles. Recently, Phillips Avenue Diner's waffles were named the best in South Dakota according to Food Network.

Ashlea had the Ranch Burger and it came topped with bacon, onion rings, American cheese, and BBQ sauce. She substituted sweet potato fries.

My selection was the Burger of Champions. You can substitute a chicken breast for any burger, so I had mine with chicken, Applewood bacon, ham, and American cheese. It also comes with a hard-fried egg on top, but I chose to hold that. 
 
Eat local. Some of the best food and atmosphere can be found at local, non-national chain restaurants. Try Phillips Avenue Diner at 121 S. Phillips Avenue and explore downtown Sioux Falls while you're at it.

Check out the menu here and enjoy one of Sioux Falls' iconic restaurants.
