Wall Drug is a surprisingly enjoyable tourist attraction of the old school. It really does have 5¢ coffee, free ice water, good donuts and enough diversions and come-ons to warm the heart of schlock-lovers everywhere. But amid the fudge is a superb bookstore with a great selection of regional titles. Out back, ride the mythical jackalope and check out the historical photos.
