Remember the Triangle Cheese plant is in a new location- The old Triangle Cheese Plant was one block from the square, It was either facing the old Hotel or across behind the Bank. Barham's Produce house and turkey picking plant was one block from the square..We sold our milyk to Triangle and either a Koonsman or others rqan a mily can route by our house and most neighbors.
