Oak Park has a rich history in sacramento, some good some bad. Around the corner from GZ on Fourth Avenue is the house that used to be Dunlaps Diningroom. Founded in 1930 and run out of George and Anne Louise Dunlap’s home, its three-item menu (baked ham, fried chicken or T-bone steak) drew dignitaries such as Governors Frank Merriman and Earl Warren to 4322 Fourth Ave.
Dunlap’s was also indicative of the era’s racial politics. The Dunlaps were black but only served white customers in their home; people of any race could eat at their Dunlap’s Cafeteria outpost at the State Fair each summer.
Dunlap’s Dining Room closed in 1968 but was added to the National Registry of Historic Places in 1992
There are some noisy dogs at GZ, but they should be no bother. The one you are interested in is the American Bulldog. He gaurds the cache and is considerably older and quieter than the other two.
