This is the blog I started when Carolyn died. I had to stop blogging under Henry and Carolyn Farkas Second Honeymoon Blog so this is where I continued blogging once I decided to continue blogging. Now there's a new blog that's a strange kind of memoir that's also a bunch of random essays rather than photos with short essays. That one is Henry Farkas Memoir Blog

Wall Drug
Wall, South Dakota is a tiny town near one of the entrances to Badlands National Park. The guy who bought the drug store there, in 1931, thought he was going to go broke until his wife suggested that they put signs out along the highway advertising free ice water. Apparently, it pays to advertise. You can see signs for Wall Drug for hundreds of miles along the highway, and it's not just a little pharmacy anymore. It's an entire shopping mall.
