The Milk Can
Ever wonder about the history of that strangely-shaped, run-down structure on the northbound side of Route 146?
A recently published eight-minute video by filmmaker Jason Allard documents the story behind the Milk Can and how it came to sit abandoned at its current home. Watch it here.
