Broadway Plaza, Walnut Creek
Thanks to a reader for sending word that Everything But Water, which opened almost four years ago in downtown Walnut Creek, is no longer listed on the Broadway Plaza directory. It’s not listed on the company store locator either, so considering it’s empty inside, it looks like this is permanently closed. Considering how many stores haven’t opened yet and are even boarded up, it’s difficult to determine whether a store is actually closed these days.

Only a couple of weeks ago the Apple store at Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek was boarded up with few people to be seen. As I checked out the area this week, I was amazed by the huge lines on both sides of the Apple store with temperature checks being done and mandatory mask wearing while in line. I guess people really love their Apple gear!
Plaza Escuela, Walnut Creek
Last October we learned that Forever 21 was expected to close at Plaza Escuela in downtown Walnut Creek, and that time is now, with 60% – 80% off the entire store. When I dropped by yesterday, there was quite a line to get in. Not as long as the line to get into Apple, but it did wrap around the corner.
Last month we learned of the “masked bulldog“, so it’s only appropriate to see the masked bullman appear as well. Spotted in downtown Walnut Creek a couple of weeks ago.

Although more and more places are opening up these days, there is still plenty of time spending at home. Have you taken up a new hobby to pass the time? I’m cooking a lot more than before and look forward to picking recipes to choose for the following week. The NYTimes cooking app has helped.
