Love seeing the homeland mentioned by @SmithsonianMag
In Wall, South Dakota, you'll find the aptly named Wall Drug. Long known for its “free ice water,” the now-76,000-square-foot roadside attraction offers gold panning, photo ops with a giant brontosaurus and more. Have you ever visited?

Seinfeld episode 2026: Jerry gets tickets courtside and brings George, who decides, with the Knicks down 20 with 10 minutes left, he will leave the game early to beat the rush out of MSG.
As the Knicks mount a comeback he tries to get back into the Garden. He waves his ticket, name drops James Dolan, but nothing works and he ends up getting arrested.
Meantime, Kramer sneaks into the Garden and helps Mike Brown draw up the game winning play.
