The Hello Tiara boutique recently opened in the Orinda Theatre Square next to Barbacoa. This is where the art gallery aMFa used to be which has since moved to another location within the Orinda Theatre Square. Based on the note below it looks like they are going to focus on jewelry and accessories.

While strolling through the Orinda Theatre Square from the Table 24 entrance I noticed the aMFa art gallery I wrote about last May was empty, but luckily they are still around right around the corner where the Tiny Feet shoe store used to be.

The old deLaveaga Train Station is located right across from the Flying Gasoline gas station in downtown Orinda.
From a sign in front:
This building is the only remaining station of the California & Nevada Railroad. The C&N, a narrow-gauge line constructed in 1890, ran 23 miles between Emeryville and Orinda hauling farm produce and pasengers. The first train steamed into Orinda in 1891. For several years, trainloads of picnickers made this community a SUnday destination. Investors had big plans for this little railroad; it was originally intended to run from EMeryville via Sonora Pass to Bodie and on to COlorado for conection with the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad. Financial difficulties, a lack of patronage, and winter floods dashed these plans and the railroad ceased operation in 1904.
