Pronunciation
"Peer" contradicts the pronunciation at List of names in English with non-intuitive pronunciations#P. Which is correct? Ardric47 04:34, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
It is most definitely "peer" Bk5545
I grew up here and I can assure you that it is pronounced "peer". Everyone in Pierre pronounces it that way and it is small enough to say this with certainty.
Major transportation hub?
It is not served by an interstate highway, yet is a "major transportation hub"? Since it isn't a seaport, I guess it must get a lot of train, river boat, and air traffic. Is there even an airport there? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 199.20.2.1 (talk) 15:24, 12 February 2007 (UTC).
It has no train depot. There are facilities for grain loading but otherwise, trains don't stop there. There is no bus station. As the river is dammed at several locations, river traffic is out. As mentioned, there is no local interstate (I-90 is 30 miles away.) The small airport is underserviced and flights are frequently cancelled on short notice due to, among other things, lack of booking. With its remote location and lack of intersection, it would be reaching to refer to Pierre as a minor transportation hub, much less the hub of anything.
