Milk Bottle Cafe

Drawing by Sammy Yuen of the Milk Bottle Cafe in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. This piece was produced for a collection called "Shared Lines" that focused on the Asian American experience along Route 66. Produced with support from the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The landmarked Milk Bottle Grocery Store along Route 66 in the present-day Asian District in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, first opened in 1930. This triangle-shaped grocery store with an iconic milk bottle has been home to many businesses, including Saigon Baguette in the 2010s, reflecting the surrounding neighborhood where many Vietnamese immigrants settled after the Vietnam war.
