The 7-Eleven at the Center of the Earth

This is the ‘7-Eleven where I was taught’ in Jesus of Suburbia, where Billie Joe worked for a while. He and Mike would hang out in the parking lot when they skipped school. Green Day were also awarded the Key to Pinole here.
‘It’s that lost feeling. Hanging out at the 7-Eleven. Disenfranchised. Alienated. You just get that feeling of “I’ve got to get out of here. There’s more to life than this town.”’ — Billie Joe Armstrong, 2006
