    I remember having so much fun here. Anticipated it for miles as the billboards went by. They advertised the best water. Not sure if they still do. Such a neat place. What great memories. 😃

    Grandma use to tell us about the sand storms. Even with shutters it would come in the house. During the winter they made tunnels to go to school. Lots of snow. Nice video. Been to Wall a few times and it keeps growing.

    🙋‍♀️Hello Russ! Enjoyed seeing Wall Drugs! A little bit of everything. Good to see someone still sold the Black Gold Jewelry. Most people go to Walmarts to see their neighbor. I guess if you live here, you go to Wall Drugs to see your neighbor. It was a really nice day to visit Wall, South Dakota. From the aerial view, Wall Drugs just about is the town. Honestly, this was the biggest drug store I've ever seen. Amazing! 👍

    We've been there. Neat place with more unique history. Wall drug is more than just a drug store, it's a venue. Don't let someone here tell you it's just a tourist trap, and not worth the stop...they needed to talk to towns folk and learn some history. We spent a night in Wall at a mom & pop motel too.

    I had just met my soon to be wife and we had driven from Texas straight through Wall and onto North Dakota nonstop to see her family. When we got to Wall I was so freaking tired I barely remember the shops but I do remember the dinosaur. Then I found out my father in law took some of the original postcard photos that are still advertised for wall. I know thrilling story

    What a great video. You going into walls drugs brought back memories from when my family and I went to Rapud city to visit my brother in the air force. We saw Mount Rushmore on our way back home to Texas we stopped into Walls drugs. Not sure where my dad parked our 5th wheel RV We had stopped at corn palace but not sure where it’s is located. I also remember driving past the badlands as well. Thanks for the Video and the memories

We were on our way by bus to the 50th BSA Nacional Jamboree, in Colorado Springs! We covered most places in southern South Dakota from Sioux Falls to Rapids City and Mount Rushmore before heading South to Colorado Springs! Thanks for sharing! DB

    Wall is OK. If you haven’t been there before it’s worth a stop. After that you can easily do without it. But when you do stop, at least get a cup of “ice water” so you can at least say you got it. …….by the way, it’s not ice water, just water from a cart hooked up to a spigot, not very cold!

      Wall drug in my opinion has a nice restaurant, attractions and some nice shops. But it's so over crowded with tourists in the summer. We like to go there occasionally when it's less crowded, like in the Spring and Fall, and I like to get myself coffee, and one of the big cookies when we're there. And there's a couple of times we ate at the restaurant. We don't usually buy much in the shops. And we don't go to wall drug very often. I agree, the badlands are the highlight of Wall. I also love the blackhills. I love the scenery of South Dakota.
