BUSTER’S

This matchbook was posted by Theresa Oberuc.  Different address, but says Northstar Center.  Dave Bogdan tells this story:

Worked for Pillsbury ’79 to ’90. Buster’s was above our computer center in the basement. Their beer bottle tube stuck out of the ceiling above our page printer and would drip slightly on the printer. A little gross.
