Broadway Plaza, Walnut Creek
Thanks to a reader for sending word that Stanford’s closed today at Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek. It was packed when I checked them out last night to celebrate/mourn the last day in business. According to an employee the construction next door wasn’t helping…
From their website:
We’re sorry to announce Stanfords Walnut Creek is permanently closed.
We are thankful to have hosted so many of your celebrations and to have been a part of this wonderful community.
Anyone know?
From a reader:
We live in the Lyric building facing east towards Mt. Diablo. Right next to Mr. Luckys is a little strip mall about to be demolished and there will be a new building going up and I’m curious what it will be and how tall it will be. Is there a website or someone I can ask about this? We pay a lot of money in rent for the views and we’re about to resign and I just want to know what we’re in for in regards to noise, potential loss of views etc. I also want to know if there is a risk of asbestos in the existing building.

Recently I was at the Walnut Creek Yacht Club sipping a beer when I realized that everyone around me was drinking wine. I don’t know why I instinctively order beer instead of wine since I like both. What do you prefer, beer or wine?

A new popup salon and photo studio called Stay Polished opened recently in Danville. Check out their services here. They will be at this location through February, 2020. I’ve never seen a salon combined with a photography studio before; this is a great idea to be able to get professionally taken photos for the local community!
