We know Smitten Ice Cream has been coming to downtown Lafayette for a while now, and now there is a coming soon sign in the window to prove it. Check out their menu here. Now that Roam Artisan Burgers is open around the corner I think I’ll be hanging out in Lafayette more often.

Back in October I noted that True Religion Jeans was temporarily relocating in Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek due to the redevelopment plan and the signage is now up in their new location across from the fountain and a few stores away from Lucky Brand Jeans.
The home decor store Filthy Gorgeous is vacating their cozy Broadway Plaza location next to Boudin Bakery and is having a 50% off sale. Not sure where they’re moving but I hear Danville is a possibility.

With news that five more people died from the flu recently in the Bay Area bringing the total to 27, I wonder how many people are getting their flu shots this season. I got the flu shot in October at the Walnut Creek Target and apparently this year’s vaccine matches the swine flu strain that is popular this season so I feel safer about that. So for the Friday question of the day, did you get a flu shot? Are the increasing number of local deaths attributed to the flu encouraging you to get one, or do you think the flu shot is unnecessary?
