Beyond the Creek

Dance Fusion Studio
1277 Boulevard Way, Walnut Creek
Saturday, September 21st, 2013
11:30am – 12:30pm | Free

dance is my passion and my joy. it is the best form of expression, medicine and transformation that i know.

my choreography is inspired by the music. i tend to gravitate to earthy rhythms from various genres across the globe.

my dance style is informed by Afro-Haitian, Modern, Jazz, Latin, Freestyle, a whole lotta love, and any random thing that happens in the moment. i can often be found sweating out my emotions at ecstatic dance in Oakland.

i invite you to join me for this free class, being offered every Saturday in September (and hopefully to resume in November.)

let’s shake it loose and be at home in our bodies.

iBar Opening Soon on N California Blvd in Walnut Creek

September 18, 2013 8:30 am

1687 N. California Blvd, Walnut Creek

The eyebrow threading salon iBar is opening soon in another location (in addition to their Broadway Plaza location) right next to The Counter at the Mercer apartment complex on N. California Blvd. in downtown Walnut Creek. If I had to take a guess I imagine this is in preparation for when Broadway Plaza closes. This way they’ll still have a downtown Walnut Creek presence, and since the stores at Mercer are populated by so many salons this makes sense that they would move there.

Construction on Roam Artisan Burgers in Lafayette Begins

September 17, 2013 11:30 am

23 Lafayette Cir, Lafayette

Back in May I noted that Roam Artisan Burgers would be opening in Lafayette Circle where A.G. Ferrari used to be and construction has finally begun for the planned October opening. I wonder if anything will change in the back patio area. I can’t wait to try out a Roam burger!

BCBGMAXAZRIA Closes in Broadway Plaza

September 16, 2013 8:30 am

BCBGMAXAZRIA has closed in Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek recently judging from the empty storefront as seen in the photos below. By the way, how do people pronounce this store name? Surely people don’t pronounce the entire name, right? It’s eight syllables!

Shots fired on Third Ave in Walnut Creek

September 15, 2013 8:00 pm

From the Walnut Creek PD:

On 9/14/13 at approximately 4:33pm, WCPD received several calls of shots fired on the 1700 block of Third Avenue. Through witness interviews, it appears a vehicle being driven westbound on Third Avenue fired several rounds out the vehicle’s window. It does not appear a specific person was targeted and two homes were struck by bullets. The suspect vehicle was described as a white sedan, similar to a Toyota Camry.
The suspect driver was described as a middle aged white male, blonde hair, tan t shirt and wearing sunglasses. No further description.
No one was struck or injured in the incident. WCPD is encouraging any witnesses to call us at (925) 943-5844.
