You can’t walk more than a few blocks in downtown Walnut Creek without strolling past a wine bar or beer cafe but in 1947 there was the Kitty Milk Bar, (located where Hubcaps is).
According to the Walnut Creek Historical Society:
The white building behind the Bar is the first Walnut Creek fire station. The bar was named for Katherine, sister of the owner. It opened in 1947 and was the Copper Skillet before being Hubcaps.
Life sure was different in the 1940s in Walnut Creek. Seems so innocent. More on milk bars here.
