In March the travel club Inspirato closed in Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek and as you can see Nespresso is “coming soon” to this location. Check out their website here. Anyone use a Nespresso machine at home? How do you like it?
I bet this Suburu dealership isn’t thrilled about being on Mazda Drive! Spotted at the Suburu dealership on N. Main St. in Walnut Creek, formerly the Suburu/Mazda dealership. Add a caption for this photo in the comments section; best one gets a Beyond the Creek t-shirt.
A reader asks:
Do you know what’s going on with the massive chain link gates recently installed at the Walnut Creek BART station? Why are they there?
Anyone know?
