What part of the country did you grow up in?

Burma Shave signs were not too prevalent in the South. We tended to have "SEE ROCK CITY" signs instead. :-D

If you won't shave
Go Home-e-o

BURMA-SHAVE

We gotta million of 'em.

The south. Beautiful Beaufort by the sea, twenty miles from Yamasee.

I'll be 51 in March...

>>We tended to have "SEE ROCK CITY" signs instead.

When I started at Georgia Tech in Fall '77, "home" was where Dad had retired from the Army, in Elizabethtown, near Fort Knox. I had a roommate from another town in Kentucky, so we'd regularly beat the trail between Atlanta and central Kentucky, going home to visit parents.

We once counted "See Rock City" signs starting in Nashville, all the way to Chattanooga, and I think we were in the 120-130 range, or around 1 a mile, which is pretty impressive over that long of a distance.
