Wall Drug, Wall, South Dakota

We departed Sundance today, and pulled the trailer East to Wall, South Dakota.
For hundreds of miles in all directions from Wall, South Dakota, the Wall Drug Store advertising  road side signs are scattered along the sides of the highway.  I believe that one could have enough lumber to build another store, by gathering the signs up.

The store takes up nearly the whole block, and it is a destination for many.  The street side parking was always full, and several parking lots were available for large rigs, and RVs.  The main hallway or mall, has a lot of attractions, and every park bench has a mannequin already staged for photos.  The mall has many specialty shops, from the inexpensive tourist gift shop to an art gallery with original paintings and sculptures.

These mannequins are playing cards, and a lady is in the mall, looking in.  Out back in the alley, has activity areas for the kids, and another building with an arcade, and other kid friendly things to do.  There may be five or six restaurants in this complex, and all seemed to be busy.

Anne-Marie signed us up for two nights here in Wall, and we will tour the badlands tomorrow.
