It was December 1931. Dorothy and I had just bought the only drugstore in a town called Wall on the edge of the South Dakota Badlands. We'd been open a few days, and business had been bad.

I stood shivering on the wooden sidewalk. In this little prairie town there were only 326 people, 326 poor people.

Most of them were farmers who'd been wiped out either by the Depression or drought.

Christmas was coming, but there was no snow, no sparkling lights — just viciously cold air. Out on the prairie the cold wind whipped up dust devils. I could see a Tin Lizzie chugging along the two-laner. Suitcases were strapped to the running boards. Someone's going home for the holidays, I thought to myself. I wished they would stop, just for a cup of coffee, but they didn't. Here on Main Street, no one was out. Look forward 78 years later...

It is now year 2009 and there are people bustling all over the streets of Wall. If Ted & Dorothy can make it in the dust bowl days of the Dirty 30s then there is no such place as Godforsaken in this great country we live in...AMERICA. We are still here and gas prices are low. All signs lead to Wall Drug!

Plan a summer vacation that the family will LOVE!
