Watch South Dakota Native On New Minnesota 'Love Is Blind' Show

South Dakota, Iowa, and Minnesota reality television fans...get ready to watch Midwestern singles find love in the upcoming season of "Love Is Blind" on Netflix.

The brand new season of Love Is Blind takes place in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Not only will the reality dating show highlight Minnesota singles, but a local South Dakota native will also be on a mission to find love.

Mason Horacek is a 33-year-old cinematographer and editor from South Dakota. Mason currently works at Lawrence & Schiller People as a Senior Cinematographer and Editor. This office is now based in Minneapolis. He even teased his role in the new Season 8 of Love Is Blind by producing and creating his promo video. Mason is really talented!

Mason has created cool drone videos highlighting the gems of Sioux Falls, like the Cathedral of Saint Joseph's.

Mason's bio on Lawrence & Schiller People shares that he is a proud University of South Dakota graduate. So naturally, he develops hype videos for the Coyotes!

Mason Horacek is one of 32 singles trying to find love in Minnesota. According to a new article from Cosmopolitan, Mason is ready to step in front of the camera lens and fall in love.

His biggest accomplishment is making a living in a creative career he loves, and he’s looking for that same passion and drive in a potential partner. A skater girl would be particularly rad, as Mason shreds whenever he gets the chance, even sneaking in skating sessions before work. In fact, he’s so committed to the sport that he once went through an entire workday with a broken foot. While he may be tough on the ramp, Mason says his friends and family would beg to differ, lovingly describing him as a 'big softie.'

So will Mason find love on Love Is Blind? Tune in to find out beginning Friday, February 14th on Netflix!

Dives Worth a Drive in South Dakota, Iowa and Minnesota

Almost every small South Dakota town has a watering hole. It’s where the locals go to kick back a few brews and engage in conversation.

Some of these establishments are located in buildings almost as old as the town itself. There might be a fresh coat of paint on the walls or new vinyl on the booth seats, but the ambiance is still reminiscent of a good ol’ dive.

If you think a "dive" is all about the sketchy clientele, the smell of the Devil’s lettuce, and stale Grain Belt, you’d be wrong. Not every dive has a bad reputation.

What makes a dive, a dive?

A dive has character. Neon beer signs and local memorabilia adorn the walls.

You might find a pool table, dart board, and a few video lottery machines.

The bartender knows the regulars by name and they know what you drink.

Some dives don't even serve food except for bags of chips and pickled eggs that sit in a jar of brine on the bar.

Dives aren't fancy. You might see 70's-style wood panels on the walls and wobbly tables leveled with a folded napkin.

Finally, the bathrooms. The bathrooms in dives are in a class by themselves and could be a whole topic on its own.

There are several small-town dives in our area with friendly faces, cheap booze with a burn, and even really good food! We use the term "dive" in the most affectionate way.

Here are some of the best and why you should go there.
