Travel Books

My first book is 100 Things to Do In Sioux City & Siouxland Before You Die
the cover of 100 Things to Do in Sioux City and Siouxland Before You Die by Lindsay Hindman, a lime green book with white and navy letters, and a picture of a riverboat imposed on the number 100
published by Reedy Press, which was officially released September 15th, 2020! 

Reedy's 100 Things series turns to local writers in dozens of cities around the nation to find out what locals view as the must-see places to eat, shop, and play in their area, and I'm so excited to have written the Siouxland edition. It will be most useful as a guidebook to visitors and new residents to our area, but I hope even long-time Siouxland residents will find new corners of Siouxland to Explore.

One of the most widely known "Sioux City" things actually isn't a Sioux City thing! If you've seen the movie The Big Lebowski, you may have caught this scene: And Sioux City Sarsaparilla is real (and it really is a good one!)
