Spotted in Lafayette.
Parked outside of See’s Candies in Lafayette last Friday during their grand opening was a 1930 Ford Model A and a 1930 Harley Davidson motorcycle. Instead of a trunk in the back check out the additional row of seats! They had a great spin-the-wheel game with lots of chocolate being handed out. For those living in Lamorinda no need to head out to Walnut Creek for your See’s fix.

The Secret Lives of Native Plants and Animals:
Lafayette Library and Learning Center
3491 Mt Diablo Blvd, Lafayette
Sunday, June 23rd, 2013
1:00pm – 2:30pm | FreeGet ready for this year’s summer outings with a slide presentation and a talk highlighting some little known, and sometimes bizarre tidbits about the native plants and animals we can encounter on our warm weather hikes. From “wait a while” ceanothus to “sexy” coyote bush, “stinky” beetles to love struck “blue bellies”, you may never look at our common trailside companions in quite the same way again!
This program is co-listed with The Lafayette Library and Learning Center and Sustainable Lafayette.
Check out the kitchen utensils above the Back to the Table Cooking School sign (Lafayette), very creative!
New location at 1005 Oak Hill Rd.
Last week I noted that Rossi’s Tennis & Running shop moved to Mt. Diablo Blvd. and now P & L Framing has opened in this location at 1005 Oak Hill Rd. next to where Blockbuster used to be. Their old location on Fiesta Lane is being completely remodeled as the former stores vacate to make room for high-end stores due to Cooperage American Grille opening next door.

See’s Candies is opening at 9:30am today according to a sign in the window at the Lafayette Plaza Center near Whole Foods. According to a See’s employee in the Walnut Creek location this is not replacing the Broadway Plaza location which eventually will close along with other Broadway Plaza stores. The Walnut Creek See’s location plans on relocating somewhere in downtown Walnut Creek.
Check out the inside of the Lafayette store:
