Bob;

Yes, how well I remember the Buttermilk Corner!  We lived on 49th just off
Hawthorne.  We would take the Hawthorne bus to downtown Portland.  The
Buttermilk Corner we went to was on Yamhill between 3rd and 5th; down from the
original Fred Meyer and along by the Farmers' Markets.  We bought a tall glass
of that "old-fashioned buttermilk".  We could drink all we could hold for 10c
and at that time we could hold several glasses!
I often yen for some of that original buttermilk; the cultured stuff just
doesn't measure up.
Isn't it wonderful that some of us can remember all that good stuff!
