Yep, every Friday was payday for dad, so every Friday night we would drive the 1954 Ford Country Squire, ( later the 1960 Valiant station wagon) to Palmyria, N.Y. for groceries. I'd ride along and spend my time at the dime store or at the hobby shop or town park. We always went past a set of Burma Shave signs, but I don't recall the rhym.

We also crossed over the old Erie canal. I wonder what that looks like now?
