Ironically enough, that Burma-Shave (ahem) "poem" is preserved by the Smithsonian Institution.

Burma Shave

Ironic you guys should mention this

Tonight I was on the way to a game in the little town of Social Circle, Georgia. Just before entering the Social Circle city limits there was a old-timey set of Burma Shave signs still standing.

I called a friend of mine just to tell him I was so excited -- and then I get home 4 hours later and look on the forum and whoomp!! -- are you guys clairvoyant or what??

Probably right next to the red barn with the huge proclamation to SEE ROCK CITY! or a wall of bumper stickers urging tourists to VISIT WALLS DRUGS!

Not to mention "Pedro" and "South of the Border" on I-95.

So... how far away from Chatanooga do those Rock City barns get?

I've seen them around in the hills of NC and TN. I just wondered...

What was the OP about anyway?
