Last month we learned that Second to None Consignment would be closing in downtown Walnut Creek and they have indeed closed. It was fun window shopping while strolling down Locust St. so it’s too bad they’re gone.

The delays to Veggie Grill opening in downtown Walnut Creek have been unfortunate but according to a sign in the window Veggie Grill will be opening sometime this month in January. Check out the photos of the inside below to see the nice looking interior which is mostly done. Check out their menu here.
With the holiday season having finished the Macy’s parking garage in Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut creek is now closed due to the massive redevelopment going on. The new multi-level parking garage next to Nordstrom opened last month and there is complementary valet parking as well but I wonder how this will affect the parking situation in downtown Walnut Creek. I may have to scout out more free street parking further away.

7:30pm | $30Shellie Awards innovator, Scott Denison, says “The Shellie Awards were founded in 1979 in order to recognize outstanding achievement in the performing arts in the Central Contra Costa/Diablo Valley region. This is an evening to honor the nominees as well as the award winners.” The name Shellie was derived from the venue in which the first ceremony took place – the walnut packing warehouse – lovingly called the Nuthouse by all who performed there. During off-season of the walnut harvest, the Walnut Growers Association loaned the building to local organizations and theatre companies who constructed a temporary stage and audience risers in the mid-1960’s to bring live performances to the Walnut Creek area. In January of 1991 the Shellie Awards ceremony was held in the newly opened Regional Center for the Arts.

A couple of weeks ago we learned that Yalla Mediterranean opened its first restaurant in downtown Pleasant Hill and their next location to open is in Walnut Creek in Ygnacio Plaza expected late February. You may have noticed that both these locations previously were Daphne’s Greek Cafe; that’s because Yalla bought Daphne’s and is totally revamping everything from the ground up. Check out their menu here.

Thanks to a reader for sending:
I noticed that 1 of 2 giant oak trees in alma park that has been protected for years has blown over (I think during the past big storm). It is surrounded by caution tape and I would assume scheduled to be chopped up. It is a shame.

According to a sign in the window they are trying to relocate to the Country Wood Shopping Center (also in Walnut Creek) but are “still waiting on a space that meets both the center and our needs”.
