There's a new 'Rosy's' restaurant in Sioux Falls
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) —It's been over a month since Rosie's Cafe closed in Sioux Falls. Now, someone is opening a new restaurant in the same area that sports a similar name, but different meals. Just down the street from where Rosie's Cafe was located, you will now find Rosy's Tacos— a new Mexican restaurant. TenHaken wants drivers to 'feel the urge to zipper merge' 'We're gonna be serving more of, like, asada, birria, dorado, chorizo, ground beef and then hopefully a lot more throughout the time,' Rosy's Tacos, Juan Nuno said. 'Our specialty is Birria. I really love it. It's really amazing,' Rosy's Tacos, Ana Nuno said. The name is similar to Rosie's Cafe, but the owner has his own reason for calling his restaurant 'Rosy's', as it's his eldest daughter's name. 'It wasn't my intention to do it, but I mean, I had a food truck out here and when I had the food truck, I named it Rosy's food truck. So when we opened our restaurant, we decided to bring the name down to the restaurant,' Juan said. The Nunos' family wants to bring something to the neighborhood that they think will add to it's charm. 'We don't have much restaurant business close to this side of town, so it's gonna be kind of nice to have something that you can get close to it, You don't have to go all the way down to the other side of town or downtown,' Juan said. 'We hope to bring in a lot of people so that they can expand their palate or that they can see more authentic Hispanic food,' Ana said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

TenHaken talks time as mayor, future plans
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — Paul TenHaken has been leading Sioux Falls for seven years, but he plans to take time away from politics after his final year as mayor. 'There's a lot of people announcing for different offices, so, it's coming up a lot in conversations. And, for the sake of that, I wanted to get it out there and let people know, hey, I'm not running for governor. I'm not running for Congress. Senate. I just want to focus on this last year in office, and finish well,' said Paul TenHaken, mayor of Sioux Falls. TenHaken says he plans to bring his focus back to entrepreneurship. But he doesn't have anything specific planned yet. 'It's really buttoning things up. You're really not starting anything new. You're landing the plane. And I use that analogy a lot,' said TenHaken. 'You know, we're going to be opening the Jacobson Plazas of the world for projects like that, where you have a lot of big infrastructure projects that we're working on, and we're going to finally break ground on the 85th and I-29.' As his mayoral chapter comes to a close, TenHaken has a lot of accomplishments to look back on. 'During the last seven years, I think one of the things I'm most proud of, and this is going to seem really nebulous, is really just keeping the wheels on the bus during a time when the world was kind of falling apart,' said TenHaken. And despite the unknown timing of the next election, TenHaken is looking ahead to what the city's next leader will bring to the table. 'Keeping up with housing, dealing with the challenges of homelessness, ensuring crime stays manageable as we grow. Those are very real challenges. And so, the next mayor is going to have to be a leader, a consensus builder, someone who's run large organizations, large leadership teams, and can unite a community that's increasingly diverse,' said TenHaken.

TenHaken, Thum oppose proposed prison locations in SF
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — As members of Project Prison Reset's task force consider where to recommend building a new men's prison in South Dakota, two city of Sioux Falls officials are making clear where they don't want the penitentiary's replacement to go. Mayor-Paul-TenHaken-05.09.2025Download A letter dated May 6 from the office of Sioux Falls Mayor Paul TenHaken was received May 9 by the governor's office in Pierre. The letter, which is signed by TenHaken and Sioux Falls Police Chief Jon Thum, addresses six different proposed locations for a new men's prison in the state. It asks the task force to look at 'the long-term well-being of the communities that support our state.' Report: New law will add to more prison needs TenHaken and Thum oppose two proposed locations within Sioux Falls city limits: land to the immediate southwest of the intersection between Interstate 90 and Interstate 29 as well as the former Citibank campus in north Sioux Falls. They're similarly opposed to two other locations which are nearly within Sioux Falls city limits: one at the intersection of 259th Street and Marion Road and another south of Interstate 90 to the west of the city. In the letter, the mayor and police chief write that locations close to Foundation Park, the corridor of Cliff Avenue and 60th Street and the intersection of I-29 and I-90 'are areas of significant strategic importance—not simply for Sioux Falls, but for the state as a whole.' Thum and TenHaken say these spots impact investment, commerce and visibility for the whole state. Putting a prison in one of those four locations, they write, 'would constrain these advantages and limit the contributions Sioux Falls is able to make.' Two proposed locations for the new prison do, however, have TenHaken and Thum's approval. One is in the Worthing, S.D. area south of Sioux Falls on Highway 18, and the other is the familiar site in Lincoln County between Harrisburg and Canton where a bill in Pierre failed to receive enough votes to appropriate money to build a prison. Nevertheless, it remains an option for the project. KELOLAND News reached out Wednesday to the mayor's office as well as the Sioux Falls Police Department for interviews with TenHaken and Thum, but neither were made available. Project Prison Reset's next meeting is scheduled for June 3 in Pierre. Another letter, from the Sioux Falls Development Foundation dated May 9, was also sent to the governor's office. doc00283320250509144900Download Members of Project Prison Reset are also considering information from a study completed by consultant Arrington Watkins that points to an even bigger need. Work group members told KELOLAND News the state will need to review incarceration policies to find ways to reduce incarceration and recidivism numbers in the state. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Owner of 18 Sioux Falls apartments declares Chapter 11 bankruptcy
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — Tzadik Management owns and operates 18 apartment complexes in Sioux Falls. The Arnolds Park Apartments is one of them. The Chapter 11 bankruptcy documents were filed in the Southern District of Florida Bankruptcy court. They say Tzadik owes hundreds of thousands of dollars to local businesses. Since buying the apartments starting in 2018, Tzadik has been the subject of hundreds of complaints from insect infestations to security issues. There have been so many complaints even the Mayor got involved and spoke to us in February of last year. Rural SD hit hard by Noem's cut to FEMA grants 'My office specifically is kind of fed up with all the complaints coming to me,' said TenHaken. We also spoke with Tzadik Properties owner Adam Hendry last year. He told us the company spent millions of dollars fixing up the properties. The bankruptcy filing does not mean Tzadik will have to sell its properties in Sioux Falls. Chapter 11 bankruptcy allows business owners to reorganize their finances and continue operating while developing a repayment plan. Secured creditors like banks are more likely to get their money, unsecured creditors like small businesses are usually last in line. According to court documents, the money owed to unsecured creditors includes $82.4 thousand to Sioux Falls utilities, $61.7 thousand to MidAmerican Energy and $52.3 thousand to Home Depot. And the list of small businesses in Sioux Falls who may not get paid or get partial payment is a long one. For instance, Hendry owes Cressman Sanitation more than $17 thousand, Norberg Paints $9.3 thousand and Xtreme Cleaning Services $8.1 thousand. Hendry's largest debt is to the Sioux Falls Law firm of Breit and Boomsma at more than 128 thousand dollars. Last month we told you that 3 of Tzadik's apartment properties were put up for sale as the company restructures. Tzadik reports $65 million in assets and $46.89 million in liabilities. The financial platform Bondoro, which tracks bankruptcies, says the filing indicated there will be funds available to pay unsecured creditors, but that remains to be seen. Last month, Tzadik listed the Parkside Apartments, Sandy Creek Apartments and North Cleveland Apartments for sale, totaling 126 units. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
