SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KELO.com) With Valentines Day coming in two weeks, of course, one obviously thinks of Sioux City as a place to spend the romantic holiday.
There are the old stockyards. The old John Morrell plant. The Floyd River with no water in it. The crumbling Loess Hills that much of the city sits on. The pint-sized replica of the Washington Monument honoring appendicitis stricken Sgt. Floyd of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The remaining sand deposited from the 2011 Missouri River flood, to name just a few delights. And, of course, what says “I love you!” more than the never-ending road construction on I-29?

Plans underway for Nebraska casinos
Lance Morgan
The Native American operation, Ho-Chunk Incorporated, has launched a new division to manage and operate the expansion of casino gaming at three existing horse racing tracks in Nebraska.
Ho-Chunk CEO Lance Morgan says each of those facilities will be in the $200 million cost range and compete with Iowa casinos in nearby Council Bluffs. “The competition in Council Bluffs is a little weak, you know, they’ve been there for 25 years and they haven’t done much to change them. And so, we are going to come out with the best product possible,” Morgan says.
