Spotted at Sideboard in Lafayette.
I recently started using a white noise app and sleep mask which has remarkably improved my sleeping. I can now easily sleep eight hours without interruption (expect to go to the bathroom on some days) and feel more alert during the day. How many hours of sleep do you get? Do you have any routines before bedtime to help?

From their website:
When the first Golden Corral® restaurant opened in Fayetteville, North Carolina in 1973, Golden Corral Corporation took a confident first step in the restaurant business, beginning a tradition of offering guests real, wholesome foods in a family-friendly atmosphere and at a great value.

McDonald’s closed almost four years ago in downtown Walnut Creek and as you can see from the above photo demolition has taken place and a new mixed-use 5 story development is being built with over 10,000 sf of retail shops and close to 100 apartments, some of them being “flexible-use studios”. Look for this to be completed by the end of next year!

The Vineyard, Concord
In April we learned that the cafe Bambu would be coming to the Vineyard shopping center in Concord and thanks to a reader for pointing out they have been closed for months now. Despite the “hope to see you again soon” sign on the door, judging by the emptiness inside I’m not getting my hopes up.
