If you’re like most commuters, everyday you drive past the exact same houses, same businesses, same peculiar landmarks. Did you know the Milk Farm along 50 was a teen hangout in the 1930s where kids had milk drinking competitions? Did you know the Rancho Cordova drive-in is only one of 389 in the country?
