The Golf Mart will be moving from their Concord location to their new location at 2099 Mt. Diablo Blvd right off highway 24 in Walnut Creek. Golfsmith used to be a short walk away but they moved to Pleasant Hill last year. Connecting everything together is Pier 1 Imports which moved from the future Golf Mart location to the old Golfsmith location.
From Golf Mart’s website:
Serving Northern California as well as the San Diego area, the Golf Mart is a California institution and one of the best-reviewed golf chains in the country.
Stop by any of our 10 locations and see first-hand what some customers have called the, “Costco of Golf!”

Hi BTC,
Wondering if you’ve heard anything about the explosion sounds that have rocked near downtown Walnut Creek Saturday and Sunday night, around 11:00pm. I was sitting in my living room both times I heard the extremely loud and close sounding explosions. They both hit around 11:00pm each night but I haven’t heard anything in the news about them. I live near Ygnacio and Homestead and they sounded close, almost near the construction off Civic and Ygnacio. Just curious…

A new Chinese restaurant called Iron Kitchen will soon open at 581 Moraga Rd. in Moraga where Basil Asian Restaurant used to be. Moraga has two well known Chinese restaurants, Chef Chao and Asia Palace so I wonder how this will stack up to them.

The sculpture garden behind the Lafayette Gallery is closing and will be turned into a parking lot to allow for more parking spots for the new restaurant The Cooperage opening this fall across the way. In June I noted that the Twigs Floral building was getting demolished as well. The good news is that the parking lot in front of the Lafayette Gallery is apparently going to turn into a sitting area, and sculptures may possibly be displayed there if they can be bolted down.
Empty sculpture garden to become a parking lot:
I hope everyone has a happy and safe 4th of July! This 4th of July dress was spotted at Erin Paige Boutique in downtown Lafayette.
