Please add Wall Township Speedway, in New Jersey. After a half-century of operation, it was closed for nearly all of 2008. However, a group of promoters got together and reopened the track for the annual Turkey Derby last Thanksgiving weekend. The place was JAMMED.

Good news: the management group has announced that Wall Township will resume as a bi-weekly operation in 2009!

If you’re gonna rebuid a “Wall,” that’s a good place to start!

@JPop, I think Walt Disney World is slightly more famous than that. True, it isn’t a wall, but still. I’ve read about your tourist trap, though.

I recently faux-painted my wall — yellow. It keeps me on the inside; its three windows allow me to look out to my part of the city. My new yellow wall changes color tone, depending on time of day. I’ve grown to like it.

The wall around the Old City of Jerusalem should be included. Also the old Byzantine city wall in Istanbul.

Another consideration: Wall, South Dakota, home of Wall Drug, possibly the world’s most famous tourist trap.
