The Persian bakery Haleh Pastry which opened last year and closed earlier this year is being replaced with a restaurant called Ikoi. Details are scant but I’m hoping for a Japanese restaurant. This does mean that Rinehart’s jewelry clock is due for an update. How about SUSHI? TONKATSU?

A new yoga studio called Align Yoga that we learned in May would be opening in Pleasant Hill has now opened. Check out details on their studio here and schedule here. I like how they use an, “air filtration system, which combines Hepa filters and ultraviolet light to kill 99% of all harmful bacteria.” They also have showers and offer hot yoga at various temperatures.
