Milk Bottle Grocery on Route 66 Oklahoma

Don’t blink while you’re driving down the Oklahoma City stretch of Route 66 because you won’t want to miss this: the Milk Bottle Grocery is a tiny 350-square-foot triangular building of red brick right in the middle of a thoroughfare at an old streetcar stop. But it’s not the building itself that’s remarkable, it’s the oversized milk bottle built out of sheet metal in 1948 perches right on top of the building, advertising the local dairy industry. While visitors can no longer stop in and purchase a bottle of milk for the road, they can grab a Vietnamese banh mi sandwich from Saigon Baguette, which calls the Milk Bottle Grocery home.
