PINOLE, California (KGO) — One of the biggest rock bands to come out of the Bay Area was back in familiar territory on Sunday.
Members of Green Day were in Pinole, their hometown, for a very special occasion.
They received the key to the city in a ceremony held outside a 7-Eleven, right across the street from Pinole Valley High School.
It’s the the same location the band sings about in several of their songs.
Sunday’s ceremony was also a celebration of the 30th anniversary of the release of the band’s breakout album “Dookie.”
The band members also took time to sign a mural dedicated to them outside the store.
And they’re also now doing business with 7-Eleven. The store now carries Punk Bunny Coffee, Green Day’s own coffee company.
