Mar Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 I'm lucky I'll be taking Amtrak to Emeryville, and Rudy's is fairly close to the station (and Pixar; I'll have to get a picture of the gate)!

-Billiejoezee- Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 I live in California and I've never done this trip. I'm doing it next year though, but I won't need the BART. Going on car.
pasalaska Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 the BART's good, but it won't get you everywhere. Do the tour by car, it's AWESOME that way, and you can go to Christie Road that way, which is one of the best locations there is
-Billiejoezee- Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Yeah, I'm sure car is faster and easier than BART. I might get on it just to say I got to use the BART. But yeah, I'm going for green day sight seeing/musical/I need to check out a school.
Mar Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 If only I'd have the option to use a car. We're taking a train cross-country, so we'll be relying on public transportation! That's ok, though. I'll milk it for all its worth.

Mar Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Rent one? I wish we could afford one! But hey, that's half the journey - getting lost. Or so I'll tell myself. God, 24 hours from now (or a little more if the train is late), I'll be on my way there! I honestly can't wait to stuff my face at Rudy's.

alaniluau Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 If you go to Rodeo, you must go to Flippy's for breakfast! And there's a Starbucks right in/directly adjacent to Foxboro
Lauralovesgreenday Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 i'm going too this summer, all the way from england this was helpful since i forgot about some of these places! dont forget mike's new cafe at the fox theatre! thanks again.
A Killjoy from Detroit Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 i've lived in the Bay Area my whole life and I've only gone to a handful of these places mostly by coincedence. I'm definately planning a trip now. I was on BART one day and we totally passed by East 12th ST. just as i was listening to Homecoming on my ipod and I had a little freakout inside my head. i was all
Mar Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 Such a bummer, I didn't get a chance to get to 924 Gilman, Tight Wad Hill or Atomic Garden. Damn limitations of public transportation. Here's where I got: And, this was on display at Rasputin Music:

Webb_2011 Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 Sounds awesome! I hope to go to the Bay Area this summer with my family, and hopefully force them to take me to these places lol
Mar Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 awesome! What did you eat at Rudy's? I had the grilled cheese and fries and cottage cheese, as well as a chocolate shake. My dad said he really enjoyed the pulled pork! I wish I would have been able to go there on a Thursday, since it was mac & cheese day!
greenqueen Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 "Also, the 7-11 across the road from the Shopping Centre is THE 7-11 from Jesus of Suburbia (the song lyric, not the video) according to the guy that worked at Fiat. makes sense. 'the 7-11 where I was taught' - Billie was taught at Fiat..." So this ISN'T the one where they filmed the music video? It's just like the one mentioned in that song? Does anyone know where the 7-Eleven is that they filmed the video in? I'd love to see that!! My fave music video heh

My fave music video heh I don't think anyone knows - it's been asked a few times in various places, but the problem is that a lot of 7-11s look the same, y'know? and to answer the older question in the posts above - Jingletown is in Oakland, and Studio 880 is in Jingletown. There's a small corner shop just up the road that says 'Jingletown' on it.

That's a shame Yeah, I understand that they all look pretty similar, but yet Green Day has such devoted fans that it wouldn't surprise me if someone has gone around to all the 7-Elevens in California and found the exact one! Oh well...
Lauralovesgreenday Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 thanks for this! it was very helpful as i am visiting SF in the summer
