I thought this sign is great especially as it’s juxtaposed with the the large and predictable RE-ELECT CITY COUNCIL sign. Under the got wilk? signage it says, Vote Kevin Wilk for City Council. Spotted in downtown Walnut Creek in front of CREAM.

In August we learned that the Japanese restaurant Izakaya Jun closed in downtown Walnut Creek, with a replacement coming “one month later”. The new restaurant will be called Kurumi Sushi & Grill, opening the following week, and will serve very similar dishes that were available at the previous restaurant. That’s because the new owner was a chef at Izakaya Jun. I have confirmed that yaki onigiri (grilled rice balls) will still be available which means I’ll be back for sure.

Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek now boasts three sunglass stores. Apex and Sunglass Hut, both owned by Luxottica, and now Solstice Sunglasses, owned by Safilo. In addition to brands that I’ve seen everywhere, like Ray-Ban, I noticed brands that I haven’t seen before such as Carrera and Polaroid. Who knew Polaroid has a sunglass brand?!
