CULTURE + ENTERTAINMENT

From the creators of South Dakota Magazine , Muddy Mo’s Coffee House in Yankton is a look inside the publication and the Missouri River (“Muddy Mo”) . Muddy Mo’s opened four years ago in the 1885 building in the Meridian District to celebrate “good stories, good coffee, and good company.” South Dakota Magazine covers are used as artwork on the walls, and a large merch section is available filled with Muddy Mo shirts, coffee mugs, and more. Stop by for a lunch special (like a Turkey and Provolone Panini ) or a drink special (like the Nutty Chai ).
