And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Saw my first DQ in Methuen, MA, back in the 50's. I had forgotten the Eskimo.
This was also my first encounter with soft ice cream. A block away was Friendly's, with its square hamburgers on toasted white bread and onion in its slaw.
It's not but looks just like the DQ at the other end of the block I grew up on. We didn't have a paved parking lot, Newport News Va. During the summer the local Rock & Roll station had Sock Hops Saturday evenings in the gravel parking lot.
1956(?) Buick

I lived about a 1/4 mile from one of the first ones in New England. It's still there and operated by the same family that started it up.
