[Vision2020] Drive-Thru Convenience Store?

[Carl Westberg]

As more a note of minor historical interest than anything else, Moscow used 
to have a drive through dairy/convenience store sort of thingie, in kind of 
sort of a way.  Does anyone else remember Tomlinson's Dairy, at the corner 
of North Main and A street?  Or did it ever really exist at all and I'm just 
hallucinating?   Carl Westberg Jr.
