From the Walnut Creek Police Department:
On 12/27/12 at 3:15 a.m., the Walnut Creek Police Department received a 911 call via transfer from the Contra Costa County Fire Department. Screaming could be heard in the background. Officers were immediately sent to 1450 Creekside Drive and arrived within minutes.
Officers confronted one armed subject inside an apartment at the complex and were forced to shoot that individual. The subject was pronounced deceased at the scene.
No officers were injured.
The Walnut Creek Police Department is currently conducting a criminal investigation in conjunction with the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office and , Contra Costa County Crime Laboratory. As is standard practice, the involved Officers have been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.
Last month I posted a photo of the demolition of the white building in downtown Walnut Creek On Newell Ave. and S. Main St. and as you can see from the photo it is no more. Check out an earlier post I made of the condos which will take it its place eventually. This looks promising.
I noticed Lottie’s Creamery received a stop work order recently for unauthorized exterior work which is unfortunate but the progress on the inside is coming along nicely judging from the photo below. Originally scheduled to open in the Fall, delayed to December, I’m hoping for a January opening. Lottie’s Creamery is located in downtown Walnut Creek at 1414 N. Main St. across the street from Wells Fargo.
With all this rain we’ve been having lately I thought it would be appropriate to note that a Liberty Bell kiosk that was not open initially called The Cover Up is now offering up umbrellas and rain gear. Not sure how long the kiosks will remain open after the holidays but this seems like good timing. The Liberty Bell kiosks are located in downtown Walnut Creek where the restaurant Il Forniao is located, across the street from Nordstrom.
Wishing everyone a a very merry Christmas in Walnut Creek, Lafayette and nearby areas. Safe travels for those on the road this time of year and have a great time with family and friends!
Looks like plans for renaming The Pizza Place in downtown Walnut Creek have fallen through as it is now closed. According to a sign in the window it has been sold. Last month I noted that the store next door, SOFA a la carte also closed. Two stores down the iconic Walnut Creek jewelery and gift shop Ming Quong renewed their lease back in June, however there is an option to terminate the lease within 18 months so it’s possible all three storefronts could be combined into one store. Stay tuned…
Bare Escentuals has been rebranded as bareMinerals in Broadway Plaza, Walnut Creek. According to an employee I spoke with they are now focusing on their bareMinerals line of cosmetics. The new signage looks great. bareMinerals is located at 1237 Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek.
