My 605: Terra Koupal

What’s home unless you make it your own? My 605 takes you inside the lives, loves and little secrets of those who call South Dakota – area code 605 – home.

This week’s edition features Terra Koupal, an American Family Insurance agent and mom of two sets of twins who runs the Instagram page @the.house.of.twins. She’s also the owner of pigeon (appropriately named) Twin.

My home in the 605 is: Sioux Falls.

The biggest reason I live in the 605 is: We wanted to raise our family in a community that is small enough, has great schools and opportunities but yet has plenty of amenities and diversity.

After home, I spend the most time here: My office and our cabin in the Black Hills.

When I need to get away, you’ll find me: On a walk, at yoga, on my stair stepper.

The best meal I ever ate in the 605 was at: My father’s kitchen.

My go-to coffee shop is: The Source Roastery + Taproom.

My favorite place to grab an adult beverage in the 605 is: 22Ten.

When I need to experience the great outdoors, you’ll find me: Good Earth, the Black Hills, Platte. So many good ones.

The spot I’d recommend for a date is: I love Parker’s!

The best pizza in the 605 is: Look’s Marketplace.

When my friends and I get together, you’ll probably find us: On our patio or on their patio.

The place you never can go wrong taking kids is: There are so many good ones! The Washington Pavilion, Good Earth, Parlour Ice Cream House, Japanese Gardens, The Outdoor Campus.

My best memory in the 605 is: Camping in Platte while growing up, watching my kids explore our little city or hiking in the Black Hills.
