Shenanigans celebrates St. Patrick's Day
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — A newcomer to downtown Sioux Falls saw a steady stream of green-clad customers over the weekend, only days after the business opened its doors. It's not your average Monday morning at the bar, but it is your typical St. Patrick's Day at Shenanigans. 'I came out to listen to the Cartwright Brothers, the entertainment, the green eggs and ham, and the Irish beers,' Sioux Falls resident David Luke said. David Luke is among the crowd of people spending St. Patrick's Day on the west side of Sioux Falls. 'On the day of, no matter when it is, we always have people at 8:00 a.m. with the Cartwright Brothers,' Shenanigans General Manager Andy Rose said. Cimpl halts harvest operations in Yankton Andy Rose is the general manager at Shenanigans and says the Ellis Road location will be buzzing with activity all day. Things are much more tame this St. Patrick's Day at the new Shenanigans downtown, and for good reason. 'The downtown restaurant kind of came together really fast so it was just a matter of being able to have everything lined up. We weren't sure if we were going to be ready on time,' Rose said. Shenanigans beat the clock and opened its new location last Wednesday, in the former Papa Woody's. Rose says it also ended up being a successful first weekend, complete with bagpipes, but the significance of hitting their target date extends beyond one holiday. 'March Madness is on Thursday, there's a lot of things that are very important for sports in Sioux Falls in March, we've got the state tournament coming up this weekend, so there's a lot of things that we were trying to hit our marks for we very lucky to be able to hit those marks,' Rose said. And they're quickly making themselves at home. 'It's a great area, it's a smaller atmosphere, we loaded it up with tv's, but we look forward to being able to provide that downtown, being able to have that same kind of things we've done for 30-plus years,' Rose said. Next March, the day's festivities are sure to make their way downtown. The downtown location of Shenanigans will open at 11:00 a.m., seven days a week. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Major change coming to Sioux Falls restaurants
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) – Some major changes are coming to a couple of Sioux Falls restaurants. Wednesday marks the grand opening of a sports bar downtown, and another restaurant announced it's moving to a different city. March 15 will be the last day of business for Watecha Bowl Indian Taco Buffet on West Madison St. 'It was a long time coming. We were going to close in December and make the transition anyway. I just decided to list the restaurant early, and it happened to sell in one day. I'm ready you know there's no negative connotation on the move I made solely about growth,' Watecha Bowl owner, Lawrence West said. West says he plans to serve his traditional Native American food out of a new location in Freeman that will open in May. 'A lot of our long-time customers are going to come out and show support and grab frybread. We're not leaving the scene. We're just disappearing for a couple of months and regrouping,' West said.

Florida man sold boat in 2019 — Hurricane Helene washed it ashore 5 years later. He was told, remove it or face fines
In 2019, Pinellas County resident John Fleming sold his 31-foot sailboat, Shenanigans — a boat he once sailed on his own from North Carolina to Tampa. But when Hurricane Helene came along in 2024, it washed Fleming's old boat ashore onto the Dunedin Causeway, west of Tampa on Florida's gulf coast. I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 5 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) A near-record number of Americans are grappling with $1,000 car payments and many drivers can't keep up. Here are 3 ways to stay ahead Protect your retirement savings with these 5 essential money moves — most of which you can complete in just minutes The boat has since become a tourist attraction. Visitors to the area like to stop and take pictures of it, and a nearby restaurant even posted a sign on it advertising cold beer. However, because it poses a safety issue, the boat can't stay put. Once local officials got wind of where the boat was, Fleming received a notice of violation from Pinellas County stating that the 11,000-pound boat he no longer owns needed to be removed. Despite showing the bill of sale for the boat, Fleming was told by the county that removing it is still his responsibility. "I'm shocked," Fleming told NBC News Channel 8. "It's unbelievable that this could happen." When Fleming received a code enforcement citation, the first thing he tried to do was explain that he no longer owned the boat in question. But following that, he received a notice reiterating that the boat needed to be moved, and if not, Fleming could be on the hook for fines of up to $1,000 per day. Fleming tried to speak to a person at the county and initially hit a dead end trying to get through to the officer who issued the violation. "I couldn't get through to him. I left him messages. I even called his supervisor," he said. When the officer finally got back to him, he informed Fleming that he needed to remove the boat or otherwise the county would take care of it and would pass the cost on to him. "And, if I like, I can go after the owner civilly to recover all those costs," Fleming explained. But that sounded like a hassle he didn't want to deal with. So, Fleming contacted Channel 8 consumer reporter Shannon Behnken, who then reached out to county officials. Shortly after she did, Fleming received a call with good news. The county managed to locate the current owner of the boat and said it would be sending the violation notice to them. 'I am off the hook. Thanks to you, I'm off the hook,' Fleming said. 'I have no doubt that I would have had to call a lawyer." Thankfully, he was spared what he said could have been 'a nightmare.' A county spokesperson told Channel 8 that the code enforcement officer who issued Fleming's violation was new to the department and wasn't familiar with the different databases the county uses to track down owners. The new owner will now be tasked with removing the boat from the causeway. Read more: Home prices in America could fly through the roof in 2025 — here's the big reason why and how to take full advantage (with as little as $10) Local governments typically have the right to establish rules regarding things like zoning and public safety. Your town, for example, may have a set of rules in place for things like noise ordinances, snow removal, lawn and tree maintenance, and pet registration. The tricky thing about code violations is that there aren't universal rules. Each county can set its own regulations, so what may be permissible in one ZIP code could be a violation a few ZIP codes over. If you're presented with a notice or fine for violating a local or municipal code, but you suspect you're not in violation, the first thing to do is research the local laws. If your town has a website, you may be able to find a copy of its code published there. Look for sections of the site that say "ordinances" or "codes and regulations." You may also be able to find your town's municipal code here. Once you've done your research, if you think you've been issued an incorrect fine or violation, your first step should be to contact the officer or department that issued your notice, like Fleming did. You may have to be persistent, but talking things through might help resolve the issue. If not, you may have the right to appeal the violation or fine, but the process can depend on where you live. You may also want to consult an attorney if the fine or violation is substantial, or if the issue in question is a major one. For example, you might receive a housing code violation that requires major repairs on your part. If you're confident your property is not in violation, that's the sort of thing it could be worth hiring an attorney for. You should know that you may also have the right to sue a code enforcement officer if they violate your civil rights. Entering your property without permission, for example, could be grounds for a civil rights lawsuit. One thing you don't want to do, though, is ignore a code violation notice or fine. That could result in a number of consequences, such as additional fines or penalties and potential legal action against you. And, an unresolved code violation on your property could limit your ability to sell your home. In severe cases, it could give your municipality the right to put a lien on the property or even issue a demolition order for your home. So it's best to take action, even if you think the violation in question is bogus. Jamie Dimon issues a warning about the US stock market — says prices are 'kind of inflated.'
