Broadway Plaza, Walnut Creek
Within a couple of weeks of closing at their original Broadway Plaza location, Crate & Barrel has reopened on the first floor of the former Neiman Marcus building, on the other side of the Apple store. Although only one floor, it feels very spacious. I wonder where they’ll relocate permanently?

Nick the Greek, which opened at the Veranda in Concord last fall, is planning to open in another spot where Panera used to be at Plaza Escuela in downtown Walnut Creek. Check out their menu here.

It was a sad day six years ago when Barnes & Noble closed in downtown Walnut Creek, but thanks to a reader for pointing out that they will be coming back to downtown, this time, where Forever 21 used to be at Plaza Escuela. This is excellent, can’t wait!

A high-end laundromat, Tons of Bubbles Laundromat, with locations in San Francisco, opened recently in downtown Walnut Creek.
From their website:
In all locations we offer the highest-end commercial grade machinery and the largest in the industry: Dexter and Speed Queen washers and dryers-Made in the USA for over 200 years combined. Deanna Caprini-Fusch is the Founder and President of Tons of Bubbles Laundromat, Inc. When she opened the doors to her first store in the Western Addition of SF, she knew at the age of only 22 that she wanted to set the standards high for laundromats.

In December, we learned that Crate & Barrel would be relocating to Neiman Marcus at Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek, and their old location is now closed, with plans to reopen in mid-February.
Spotted at Diablo Foothills Regional Park.
This was a fun trail to check out, in Alamo or Walnut Creek I think. This spot is great for climbing and exploring.
