Article: BLACK HILLS DREAMING; The Twin Cities of the Black Hills - Deadwood and Lead, S.D. - both got their start in the gold rush of 1876. But they now boast different personalities and different hopes for the future. And as with Minneapolis and St. Paul, you can't really talk about one without including the other.(TRAVEL)(Road less traveled)

Deadwood, S.D., makes me think of three things: Wild Bill Hickok, Calamity Jane and gambling.
Lead, S.D., its neighbor up the gulch, makes me think of two: immigrant workers and the Homestake Gold Mine.
Neither place makes me think of neutrinos or slime plants, but those peculiarities have the Twin Cities of the Black Hills talking - and hoping - this spring.
What was on my mind when I returned to Deadwood and Lead last month was gambling. Not that I'm a gambler. I wanted to see what more than a decade of legalized gaming had done to Deadwood and to find out how Lead was faring without it.
