In September we learned that the North Vancouver-based clothing and gear company Arc’teryx would be coming to Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek where Everything But Water used to be, and they have now opened. Check out their online shop here. There’s still 25% off sitewide through today. It’s a small shop but all very high quality goods.

I was holding out hope that Napa-based Heritage Eats, which opened a couple of years ago at Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek, would reopen, but alas, their signage has been taken down, with nary a mention on their website. Their Napa location is still open so check out their menu if you’re in the area. I enjoyed eating here while they were open and they were one of the last places I ate at before the SIP orders closed indoor dining.

The French goods store, Decors de France, which used to be located at Broadway Plaza many years ago, is relocating from its various downtown Walnut Creek locations back to Broadway Plaza where Papyrus used to be. In fact, this is quite close to where they were originally located, right near Nordstrom. Check out their online shop here. This is a really great shop so if you find yourself in the area, definitely check them out!
From their website:
We are a small, family owned business in Walnut Creek, California. We have traveled to France numerous times, and saw the need for authentic french made products in the US, so we decided to open up shop. We sell a large collection of items ranging from french made tablecloths, to organic french made soap.
While strolling in downtown Walnut Creek over the weekend I happened upon a large contingent of people celebrating Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ win in downtown Walnut Creek at the corner of Civic Park. Lots of honking and cheering as cars drove past.
