FRESH SQUEEZED
I grew up in Edmond, just a stone’s throw north of Oklahoma City. When I would drive into the city, I traveled down Classen Boulevard, unknowingly retracing a portion of old Route 66 Highway. That was over forty years ago. One of the landmark buildings along the way was this really cool old milk-bottle grocery. It was a small building shaped something like a slice of pie, with a huge white milk bottle on its roof. The grocery is no longer in business, but the milk bottle still stands on top of the building. The “Milk” sign is my own artistic license; as is the “Fresh Squeezed” sign on the side of the building. I lengthened one wall to add the signage. This is a trip back in time for milk and cookies with an old dime store milk truck and a marble out of pocket.
