And right off the San Rafael bridge!

I know it was open in 1991, as I used to go either there or to the one in
Concord (another 30-40 minute drive) to get my Joe's fix.

My brother lived in SoCal and was enthusiastic about it. I was at a
training class in SoCal (El Segundo, near LAX) and wandered into one. I
was hooked.

I was very happy when a store closer to me opened up.
