Up the Creek Records, which opened over seven years ago at Tice Valley Plaza, is relocating within Walnut Creek where Terra Outdoor Living used to be on Mt. Diablo Blvd. Check for updates on their Instagram page here, and read about the August move here, where they plan to expand their used record offerings, as well as, “add some tables and chairs for hanging out with friends while enjoying a snack and a drink, it will also house a designated, all-ages music venue that will host original musicians and artists as well as community events and classes, and be available during the week for band practice space!”.
This is a great space and location and I look forward to checking out the updated space when they open later this summer.
