What is an instrument doing on the side of this Lafayette building? Even the siding is artistic. Does anyone know the story behind this wall?

Back last December I noted the opening of a popup art gallery by Tom Matousek and now they have just opened in a new location in Lafayette at 996 Moraga Rd. next to Squirrels Coffee Shop. Take a peek inside and you’ll see his distinctive artwork hanging which looks amazing. According to their Facebook page it’s by appointment only.
Spotted in front of Venture Men’s Goods clothing store in downtown Lafayette. Entries due by Friday, March 29th. Some of the decorated egg drawings were hanging in their window. Another great idea by Venture.

The children’s bookstore Storyteller has been squeezed out of their downtown location and are relocating to a spot behind Peet’s Coffee & Tea, next to Whole Foods in Lafayette to make way for the Cooperage Bar and Grill expansion taking place at the former location of Petar’s. As you can see in the photo below, the wall separating Storyteller won’t be there for long. Look for the Cooperage Bar and Grill to open sometime this summer at Lafayette Circle across the street from Chow.
Earlier this month I noted that a florist might be opening in downtown Lafayette behind Patxi’s Pizza and it turns out to have been true. Floret opens today in the Lafayette Clocktower.

Back in January I noted that a new apartment complex for seniors called Lafayette Senior Housing was being built on Mt. Diablo Blvd. in Lafayette. What I didn’t realize is that the other apartment complex being built less than a block away will also offer apartments to seniors.
From the Merrill Gardens website:
The apartment-style community will offer all of the amenities of a home without the work. Imagine a life without household chores, yard work or home maintenance. Invite guests to a meal, special event or social outing. With an on-site Active Living Director, scheduled transportation and Anytime Dining program – there will be opportunities to make new friends or entertain old ones right outside your front door when the community opens Spring 2014.
You may have noticed the massive yellow construction crane driving down Mt. Diablo Blvd. to get on the highway.
It’s huge:
Back in October of last year I noted that Kelly-Moore Paints would be opening in the former restaurant Fuz on Mt. Diablo Blvd. in Lafayette and Kelly-Moore has now been open for a while. Behind Kelly-Moore a new Indian restaurant will be opening up according to Diablo Dish.
Spotted on the Lamorinda trail in Lafayette. The sign says, “New Chicks Eggs Coming Soon”. You can read more about the backyard chicken boom from Walnut Creek magazine here.
