The sign notes that, “Mt. Diablo Blvd Business Open during Construction”, but as you can see from the photo it looks almost finished to me. I like the cobblestone look, it makes downtown Lafayette seem more quaint.

Spotted in downtown Lafayette at the Hen House.
Before the Habit Burger Grill opened in downtown Walnut Creek, which I think is great, I probably went most often to the Counter, another downtown Walnut Creek burger restaurant. I know the new Corners Tavern has a burger on their menu I want to try. There is also George’s Giant Hamburger, Hubcaps, McCovey’s and must I say it, McDonalds. Obviously the variety ranges from nice sit-down to fast food.
Lafayette has Chow and Tao (Flipper’s burgers are served there). If I missed any please let me know and I’ll add it in.
So for the Friday question of the day, what’s your favorite burger restaurant? I guess this could be split into two parts. The burger itself, and the overall atmosphere.
Red Wagon, the children’s store located at 3535A Mt. Diablo Blvd. in La Fiesta Square, Lafayette is closing by summer when their lease is up. There is a possibility it might be sold instead. I have heard scuttlebutt that a different children’s store in the Piedmont area may relocate to Lafayette so maybe they could take over this place?

Spotted at the intersection of Moraga Rd. and St. Marys Rd in Lafayette, these homes will be conveniently located a few blocks from downtown Lafayette right near Lafayette Circle. Judging by the sign the homes will be made by Ryder Homes. Anyone interested?

Downtown Walnut Creek has plenty of pizzerias:
and Lafayette shall not be forgotten:
So the Friday Question of the Day is about pizza. Everyone loves pizza right? Well, almost everyone I imagine. As much as I love the atmosphere at Skipolini’s or Pinky’s, if we’re going on taste I’m going to have to go with Pizza Antica in Lafayette hands down.
So what is your favorite pizza joint in Walnut Creek or Lafayette? If I’ve missed any please comment and I’ll add them in as well.
Yesterday’s Treasures, a new consignment store recently opened in Lafayette about 2 weeks ago. It’s located at 996 Moraga Rd. next to Squirrels Coffee Shop and focuses on larger items like sofas and furniture but also offers smaller items as can be seen by the photo below:
This is their 3rd store; the other stores are located in Antioch and Brentwood. From their website:
We are a furniture consignment store offering the most unique, attractive, and many times one of a kind home furnishings. We specialize in newly used and unique furniture at affordable prices. Even our antiques and vintage pieces are in impeccable condition!!
