Spotted in Walnut Creek, the sign on the back of the car says, “BABY ON BOARD KEEP DISTANCE”. Please tell me this is coming from first-time parents. I remember those yellow “baby on board” signs in the 80s but haven’t seen them lately.

established we will inform our clients
Thank you!

They were located at 1571 Botelho Drive across from Men’s Wearhouse. Their website has no information about the closure.
Sprouts supermarket is open, Habit Burger is open as of yesterday, and Supercuts will soon be open in the Sprouts Shopping Plaza at Geary and N. Main St. in Walnut Creek. Personally, I’m really waiting for The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf and Freebirds World Burrito to open up. I have never been to either before so I can’t wait to try them out!
Looks like House of Bagels on Locust St. in downtown Walnut Creek is on the cutting edge of technology, offering up its menu as a QR code displayed prominently on its front door. What I would like to know is whether anyone has ever scanned a QR code? Is this really useful?
On a side note, how are the bagels at this House of Bagels? Is this the same owner as in San Francisco? What’s the best type? I tend to prefer everything bagels myself.
The reflection takes away from this image unfortunately, but this life sized image of Hannibal Lechter has probably scared countless people strolling down Locust St. in downtown Walnut Creek as they passed by the Redux Lounge during the day. Anyone surprised the first time they saw this? I have to admit I was.
Last Friday downtown Walnut Creek had their annual trick or treat event and tomorrow Broadway Plaza will offer Trick or Treating from 5:30 – 7pm:
Join us for some safe and spooky fun this Halloween! Fill your favorite treat bag with goodies from all participating stores. While supplies last.
So who has better offerings, downtown Walnut Creek stores or Broadway Plaza shops?
Back in September Diablo Dish had the scoop on Ike’s sandwich shop coming to downtown Walnut Creek however the lease sign had been up and no work was being done, until now that is. Check out the unmistakable likeness of Ike himself plastered on the windows of the former Red Mango frozen yogurt store a couple of doors down from the Cheesecake Factory. Check out their menu here. I can’t wait to try this place out! Has anyone been to Ike’s before? How are the sandwiches?
From Ike’s website:
Ike’s Place first opened its door on Halloween of 2007. The man behind the sandwich, Ike Shehadeh, always puts his customers happiness first. That is what sets Ike’s Place aside from the rest. When you come to Ike’s Place it is our goal to make you feel like the unique individual that you are. If that isn’t enough to set us aside, did I mention that the bread is baked fresh to order? And our soon to be patented “Ike’s Dirty Secret Sauce” is spread on every sandwich and baked right in the bread, and another layer is spread on afterwards to give it that extra flavor. Mmmmm… are you hungry yet?
I wonder if they’re going to do extensive remodeling inside or whether they can reuse Red Mango’s interior. I think it looks pretty nice in its current state:
It’s interesting how this section of downtown Walnut Creek has morphed into a giant outdoor food court, with Cheesecake Factory, Chipotle, Panera, Buckhorn Grill and of course a Starbucks.
Who knew that downtown Walnut Creek is home to a pole dancing studio? I must have walked by here a million times and the thought never even crossed my mind. Sedusa Studios is located at 1255 S. Main St. next to Children’s Place and offers a variety of classes from Stiletto Basics to Olympic Pole Training. Class are listed here.
From the Sedusa Studios website:
We have twelve twenty foot tall dance poles, beautiful lighting, a large Go-Go Dance cage, and Brazilian Cherry hardwood floors throughout the studio. Pole Dance class sizes are kept to twelve women so that each dancer gets her own pole for the entire class. The huge space, sound system and lighting make the studio a perfect place to hold your bachelorette, birthday or holiday parties. Get your sexy on and come dance with us, soon!
Sorry guys, this is for women only.
