Awesome bluegrass music being performed in front of Tiffany in downtown Walnut Creek last night. At least I think it was bluegrass, has anyone heard them before?
Last month I noted that the boutique TRB Outlet would be closing in January on Cypress St. in downtown Walnut Creek and it turns out that the shop selling French goods, Decors de France, located in Broadway Plaza will be relocating to this location on February 7th. This is a really nice shop, glad they’re sticking around downtown.
