A couple of weeks ago I noted that Mancini’s Sleepworld was opening in the former Giggle baby store on N. Main St. in downtown Walnut Creek and of course that means their old location on Locust St. is closing. Since this space will be available what would you like to see?
See’s Candies is opening at 9:30am today according to a sign in the window at the Lafayette Plaza Center near Whole Foods. According to a See’s employee in the Walnut Creek location this is not replacing the Broadway Plaza location which eventually will close along with other Broadway Plaza stores. The Walnut Creek See’s location plans on relocating somewhere in downtown Walnut Creek.
Check out the inside of the Lafayette store:
See’s Candies is located at 3518 Mt. Diablo Blvd in the Lafayette Plaza Center, a few stores down from Whole Foods.
From the WCPD:
On Sunday June 16, 2013 at approximately 11:50 PM, Walnut Creek Police responded to an assault that just occurred in the 2700 block of Oak Road. When officers arrived they found one subject unconscious and suffering from facial injuries. Medical personnel were summoned and took the victim to John Muir Medical Center for non-life threatening injuries.
Investigators believe this was not a random act and appears to be an isolated incident. Witnesses to the event are asked to contact Detective Gerstner at (925) 943-5875.
Suspect(s): 1) Hispanic Male Adult, approximately 30-35 years of age, 5’6”, with a stocky build.

Back in April I noted that the Vietnamese fusion restaurant Vanessa’s Bistro would be moving to Locust St. in downtown Walnut Creek where the Turkish restaurant Bosphorus used to be and today is their opening day. Check out their lunch menu here and dinner menu here. Photos of the inside follow below. The bar is smaller than their previous location on N. Main St. There is also an additional dining area upstairs. Thanks to a reader for sending word that it would be reopening this week.
Note the ‘2’ as in Vanessa’s Bistro 2, the official name of the Walnut Creek location:
Vanessa’s Bistro is located at 1512 Locust St. in downtown Walnut Creek a short walk from the Lesher Center for the Arts.
Back in January I noted that the building at the corner of N. Broadway and Cypress was getting demolished to make way for a new building to house La Soie Bridal Salon and construction has now begun. There will also be office space on the second floor.
Artists Market:
Lafayette Art Gallery
50 Lafayette Cir, Lafayette
Saturday, June 15th, 2013
11:00am – 5:00pm | FreeIf you missed Mother’s Day, it isn’t too late to make up with a lovely gift amongst the jewelry, ceramics and other art works in the gallery. And, don’t forget Dad this month. Just the right gift might be waiting in the gallery or at our second Artists Market on Saturday June 15, 11 am – 5 pm in the picnic area and gallery parking lot. Again, there will be 12-14 artists from the gallery and the community.
And, while you are checking out the gallery or the market, don’t forget to take a tour of our recently reopened Sculpture Garden.
A little over a year ago Handlebar Toys closed in the Lafayette Shopping Center and now the vitamin store GNC will be opening up in its place.
