Sweet looking white Lotus Evora GT spotted in downtown Walnut Creek.

Last October, we learned that Ruby Lou’s Boujee Bites & Games, a “whimsical Restaurant with games and cocktails” would be coming to downtown Walnut Creek, and they have now opened. 21+ after 8pm, families welcome before then. I recently dropped by and don’t think I’ve ever encountered anything quite like this before. I look forward to dropping by with my family soon. Check for updates on their Insta here.

Vineyard Vines, which opened over ten years ago in downtown Walnut Creek, has closed. I guess there weren’t enough preppy fashion people to support the store. When I peaked inside over the weekend, that cool looking swordfish is still there. Their Burlingame location remains open. Check out their online selection here.

Last month, we learned that UMe Tea would be opening where Mr. Green Bubble used to be in downtown Walnut Creek, and they have now opened. Today they have a “every order gets free merchandise” deal, and Tuesday you can get popcorn chicken for $5.99. I tried their Coco Mango smoothie and it was better than expected. Reasonably priced so I’ll be back.
