Visions of post-apocalypse Spokane
There's a sign outside a gas station mini-mart in downtown Spokane advertising a special on milk. It's for something like two gallons or several half-gallons. In any case the price listed is $600. Maybe they didn't have any decimals for the reader board. Or maybe…
