A few weeks ago I noted that Kaffa Cafe in downtown Walnut Creek had changed names and now the new signage is up. Looks great.
The Liberty Bell Plaza kiosks that opened last year in downtown Walnut Creek don’t seem to be looking so good as I dropped by yesterday and noticed every single one of them was closed. On a sunny Sunday afternoon. Is it over or will they reopen as Christmas approaches? Stay tuned…

2:00pm – 4:00pm | FreePlease join us on Saturday afternoon, October 5th, to meet Greg Kihn and have him sign his latest book, Rubber Soul.
Dust Bin Bob runs a second hand shop at the Flea Market on Penny Lane. He has an extensive collection of American R&B singles that he gets from Merchant Marines returning from Baltimore and New York. The action starts when he befriends some blokes by the name of John, Paul, George and Ringo and becomes their lifelong friend sharing the vinyl that will start a revolution.
From then on, it’s a rocket ride from the Beatles earliest days in Liverpool to six shows a night in Hamburg to the Cavern Club and to full-fledged Beatlemania.
You can preorder the book at Amazon.com to bring to the event; a limited number of copies will also be available at Swan’s Fine Books.

Spotted in downtown Walnut Creek at the Second to None consignment shop. I know I’ve seen this character before. Is it Disney related? Who is it?

The Walnut Creek city council recently passed an anti-smoking ordinance prohibiting smoking in condos and apartments, all of downtown and more according to the Contra Costa Times:
The City Council passed a strict secondhand-smoking ordinance Tuesday night that bans smoking in all multiunit residences, all of downtown, all recreational areas and all commercially zoned properties where there are outdoor dining areas or outdoor service areas, anyplace within 25 feet of entryways and operable windows, and in all public places. The council made an exemption, however, that does not require public or private golf courses to be smoke-free. And it doesn’t outlaw smoke from medical marijuana.
Do you support this strict smoking ordinance for Walnut Creek?
