Sights of Sacramento

We were here for the day and decided to sight-see and discovered some fun history nearby.

This Starbucks, located in an old Taco Bell, caught my eye instantly.  Taco Bell and I both turned 50 in March.  I miss the old style of architecture and I get a bit nostalgic when I see something, besides a Taco Bell, in the very distinctive and familiar buildings.
This plant opened in June, 1936. At that time, the only product produced by the company was Coca-Cola in the green glass, original shaped, 6-1/2-ounce bottle.  In 1927, Nathan Sellers opened the Sacramento Coca-Cola Bottling Co, as an independent bottler.  The company was, and still is, owned and operated independently of The Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta.  Maybe that's why the building is still so very vintage looking.
 We have more trips to this interesting city planned!  There is so much history here...
