While driving through an unfamiliar area of Oakland, CA with my daughter many years ago, I looked down a street and thought I saw something I recognized. We went back to find that it was the Duck Kee Market shooting location for the cover of Credence Clearwater's "Willie and the Poorboys" album. A few years later, I read that someone had stolen the sign. Those wacky nostalgia collectors!
