The Wall Drug store is a famous tourist attraction around these here parts! It started in 1931 as a small town drug store struggling to stay in business. When they got the idea to provide free ice water to travellers driving through the badlands, and advertised on the highway, business started to pick up. The advertisement boards for Wall Drug start about 400 miles away from the town. They are just old fashioned signs, simple and to the point, but they sure get you interested!
The store covers a whole block in town, and has a "backyard" complete with Jack-a-lopes and a dinosaur. They sell knives, clothes, food, and every tourist trinket imaginable.
So if you happen to be driving through the Badlands of South Dakota, be sure to check out Wall Drug!
