Recently bought a gallon of milk from Costco and saw that it’s produced at the same plant as the milk we get at Target and Cub (plant 27-168, Kemps in Minneapolis).
BTW that plant on Broadway is the former Clover Leaf dairy — the brand we drank when I was a kid in the 1970s.

Bob Mould, Martin Zellar and Tina Schlieske are playing in town tonight. But I volunteered to drive some teenagers home from the Laufey concert so I’m at Molly Grace at the Entry across the street.
