Spotted at the corner of N. Main St. and Mt. Diablo Blvd where Neiman Marcus is, it looks like this is now the most prominent Broadway Plaza sign in Walnut Creek.

Yesterday’s Treasures, a new consignment store recently opened in Lafayette about 2 weeks ago. It’s located at 996 Moraga Rd. next to Squirrels Coffee Shop and focuses on larger items like sofas and furniture but also offers smaller items as can be seen by the photo below:
This is their 3rd store; the other stores are located in Antioch and Brentwood. From their website:
We are a furniture consignment store offering the most unique, attractive, and many times one of a kind home furnishings. We specialize in newly used and unique furniture at affordable prices. Even our antiques and vintage pieces are in impeccable condition!!

The Walnut Creek Police reported on an arrest for a car theft in Antioch and possession of stolen property as well as narcotics and a firearm. To top it off they were violating their probation. It all took place behind Prima Ristorante in downtown Walnut Creek. From their press release:
On 1/21/12 at approximately 3:45 p.m., an off-duty police officer noticed a suspicious vehicle parked behind a restaurant at 1522 North Main Street. The vehicle was occupied by two males. The officer called Walnut Creek Police Dispatch and it was determined the vehicle was reported stolen from Antioch. Officers arrived within minutes and confronted the two subjects who were still inside the car. Both subjects were taken into custody at gunpoint without incident.
A search of the vehicle yielded a firearm and a large amount of other property. Officers were able to determine the property was stolen during a recent residential burglary. Officers also located narcotics on one of the suspects. Detectives will be following up on this case to determine if some of the property belongs to other victims.
Danska and Mair were charged with being felons in possession of a firearm, violating their probation, possession of stolen property, possession of narcotics and vehicle theft. They were booked into Martinez County Jail.

Located in the heart of downtown Walnut Creek, at 1382 N. Main St. this looks like it could be a sweet rental. It’s a 2br 1ba at $1400/month, but a Craiglist posting for this address was recently removed so it may have already been rented out.
Legally Blonde The Musical is opening February 10th and will run until March 3 at the Hofmann Theatre at the Lesher Center in Walnut Creek. Pricing options are $17 – $48. Will this be any good?
When you think of downtown Walnut Creek and theaters, you probably think of Lesher Center, but that’s not the only theater downtown. The Diablo Actors’ Ensemble Theatre is located next to Peet’s Coffee at 1345 Locust St. and offers various performances including the upcoming play, Frankie & Johnnie in the Clair de Lune which opens this Friday January 20th. From their website:
Diablo Actors’ Ensemble believes theatre enriches our lives and enriches the cultural life of our community. DAE is dedicated to presenting the highest quality live theatre within our resources. We hope to entertain, engage and challenge our audiences. DAE provides a nurturing environment for artists with whom we work which allows for passionate, creative interaction and engagement. Most importantly we hold the ensemble in the highest regard in a celebration of the human spirit.
I’ve must have passed this place hundreds of times but have never ventured in, has anyone been to a performance, and if so would you recommend it?
