For a short distance west of Halton Shields, the Military Road swings off the line of the curtain wall and onto that of the ditch, in order to avoid the existing hamlet of Halton Shields. The original 1749 survey for the road indicated that it should pass to the south here, following the Vallum, rather than the curtain wall. Looking E

Last but by far not least - my fav part of Memmingen: The "Ulmer Vorstadt" ("Suburb of Ulm") with a part of the old city wall (completed around 1450) on the right side and the "Stadtbach" ("town river")* on the left side. If the tree wasn't hiding it, you could see the once highest of all towers guarding Memmingen, the so-called 'Luginsland' (kind of a watchtower).
(Some other pics of the same place: here and here)
* The 'Stadtbach' is actually the small river that used to run through medieval towns. When the towns kept growing and more space was needed, many of the rivers were moved underground - only in the recent years it was discovered that these small rivers are little gems, making a city a lot more beautiful. That's why nowadays you can see many of them surfacing again.

The Portgate Roundabout, where Dere Street (Margary 8e) crosses Hadrian's Wall. The Vallum is visible as an earthwork. The site of the gateway itself is next to the pub beneath the old road surface. Looking SW

Serving as a gateway to South Dakota's finest attractions and opportunities, Wall is an active community of 800 focused on creating a vibrant community and meeting the needs of residents and millions of visitors each year. While Wall has become a hub for tourism and is often referred to as the "Window to the West," "Gateway to the Badlands," or the "Heart of American Tourism" – the city is a destination stop by its own right.
Although Wall's primary attraction is the world-famous Wall Drug, it has become a well-equipped town that provides services, dining and lodging to the millions of visitors each year that visit nearby attractions such as the Badlands National Park and the Minuteman Missile National Historic Site. But it hasn't lost that small-town charm or western spirit that makes it a great place to stop and stretch your legs, or stay awhile to explore.

Wall, South Dakota, "the geographic center of nowhere," is probably known best to cross-country travellers for its main attraction, Wall Drug. Advertised on gigantic billboards for hundred of miles to the west and east on Interstate 90, the gargantuan drug store has put Wall on the nation's map. There are also Wall Drug signs all over the world telling how many miles to Wall Drug.

Wall Drug Store, often called simply Wall Drug, is a roadside attraction and tourist stop located in the town of Wall, South Dakota, adjacent to Badlands National Park. Wall Drug consists of a collection of cowboy-themed stores, including a drug store, gift shop, several restaurants, and various other stores, as well as an art gallery and an 80-foot (24 m) brontosaurus sculpture. Unlike a traditional shopping mall, all the stores at Wall Drug operate under a single entity rather than being run individually. The New York Times has described Wall Drug as "a sprawling tourist attraction of international renown [that] draws some two million annual visitors to a remote town."

History of Wall Drug
One of the world’s most well-known tourist attractions, it’s hard to believe Wall Drug Store got its start with something many wouldn’t even turn their heads at today … the promise of free ice water. But in fact, the Husteads turned free ice water into a million-dollar idea with a little determination, quick thinking and a lot of signs.
Signs with catchy jingles like “Get a soda . . . Get a root beer . . . turn next corner . . . Just as near . . . To Highway 16 & 14. . . Free Ice Water. . . Wall Drug” drew weary travelers into the small-town drug store to enjoy a refreshing break. Today, more than 2 million visitors a year stop at the popular roadside attraction for a meal or activity, 5 cent coffee, and ice water – which is still free.
Located in Wall, South Dakota, Wall Drug has always been a popular stop on the road to the more populated areas like Mount Rushmore or Rapid City. As a matter of fact, when the United States Air Force operated the Minuteman missile silos east of Wall, the Hustead family offered free coffee and donuts to the service personnel as they traveled to and from Ellsworth Air Force Base near Rapid City. Wall Drug honors the men and women in the armed services by providing them free coffee and donuts to this day.
