Well, that was fast! Thanks to everyone who sent word that the Korean-Japanese fusion restaurant (and food truck) Koja Kitchen would be opening yesterday in downtown Walnut Creek where Citra Grill used to be. Although the Walnut Creek menu is not available yet check out their other location menus here. Looks great, what are the must-order dishes?
From their website:
What is a KoJa?
KoJa (aka Korean-Japanese) is a special gourmet sandwich infused with a unique combination of Korean & Japanese flavors. To step it up a notch, KoJa Kitchen substitutes the traditional wheat buns with freshly made crispy garlic rice buns.
We take what is best of both cuisines and reinvent them in a way that is fun and delicious to eat for our KoJa Kitchen fans.

I remember when the men’s clothing store Pelican Rock opened in downtown Walnut Creek about 5 years ago. That’s where I first learned about Vineyard Vines clothing, which later opened a store in downtown Walnut Creek. A couple of years ago they relocated to a great looking spot in Danville but unfortunately they have now closed.

From the Moraga PD:
On March 17, 2017, the Moraga Police Department, assisted by members of the Lafayette Police Department, recovered what appeared to be skeletal human remains in a secluded area near the Moraga/Lafayette border (between Rheem Blvd and S. Lucille Lane). The remains appeared to have been in the area for some time.
A hiker reported to Moraga Police that he had been hiking in the area, which is only accessible on foot or by 4-wheel drive vehicle, when he discovered the bones near a seasonal creek. The hiker led officers back to the area and assisted them in locating the remains.
Crime scene technicians, along with search and rescue personnel with dogs and metal detectors, recovered the remains and thoroughly searched the area. The remains will be transferred to the Contra Costa County Coroners Bureau for further investigation and determination of cause of death. Although the exact cause of death and the identity of the deceased person are unknown, there are no apparent signs of foul play at this time.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to please contact Lieutenant Brian South at 925-888-7052 or via Dispatch at 925-284-5010.

This week we learned that the clothing boutique Scout & Molly’s will be coming to downtown Walnut Creek, right next to another boutique, jinny. Another boutique featuring both women’s and men’s clothing is Atlas & Athena (seen in the above photo). Danville has Stone Cold Luxe and Pelican Rock. In Lafayette there’s Venture.
What’s your favorite fashion boutique?
