This If you See Something, Say Something sign spotted in downtown Lafayette is something I’d expect to see in the NYC subway or maybe Union Square in San Francisco. Is there some kind of terrorism threat going on in Lafayette now?

The Veranda shopping center in Concord is not the only place to pick up mobile phone case at a kiosk. Now you can browse the latest in cases and even get a “new screen within 45 minutes”. The four new kiosks are located near Old Navy and GAP. Currently two kiosks are empty and the other one is selling toys.

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving appreciating family, friends and the fresh air! I’ll be back posting on Monday.
Citrus Marketplace, Walnut Creek
A new Italian gelato shop called Ginger’s Gelato opened recently were Tutti Frutti used to be at the Citrus Marketplace in Walnut Creek where Nob Hill Foods is. In addition to gelato they also offer pastries, coffee and espresso with beans roasted by Caffè Umbria. Check out their menu here and updates on their Instagram page here. As a chocolate fan I tried their chocolate and chocolate and peanut butter gelatos which were delicious, especially as it warmed up a bit. This gelateria is spacious and has various games available which makes this a great place to hang out in Walnut Creek. Definitely check this place out the next time you’re in the area!
From their website:
We’re friends who found ourselves sampling gelato at every shop we could find on our Italian vacation. We fell in love with the frozen treat and returned home to California longing for that fresh taste again. Searching high and low, we couldn’t find gelato as good as that in Italy.
As a child, Erin grew up watching her grandmother make fresh waffle cones each day for her ice cream shop. Sabrina learned to cook from her mother and grandmother in Sicily. With inspiration from our family, we embarked on an adventure to make authentic, handcrafted Italian gelato. And, we honor Erin’s grandmother, Ginger, by serving a piece of her homemade waffle cones with each scoop.

The footwear and apparel store Vans opened recently in downtown Walnut Creek where Free People used to be. Considering this is a dedicated Vans store I imagine there will be some specialty items not available at authorized dealers like Tillys and Nordstrom. Check out their online shop here.
