These buildings will hold the largest floor plans ranging from +/- 1,400 square feet to over +/- 2,900 square feet of living space. Units will include spacious balconies & patios, private garages, elevator access and only one common wall.

The Woodbury’s extensive use of luxury finishes, large floor plans and proximity to Lafayette, Walnut Creek and everything the San Francisco Bay Area has to offer makes it the premier choice for those looking for ahigher standard of conominium living in the East Bay. The first phase delivery of units is expected in early 2015.

Now that the world cup has begun in Brazil I’m wondering which team people are rooting for. I played soccer as a kid but don’t really follow it anymore. I’d like to watch the games this month but since I don’t have ESPN I’ll have to watch most games at a bar or watch Univision in Spanish online.

Willows Shopping Center, Concord
Thanks to a reader for sending word that the beauty retailer ULTA Beauty is coming to the Willows Shopping Center in Concord, replacing DB Shoes next to Old Navy. As you can see from the photo a completely new building is going up. In addition to this there is a lot of construction going on at this shopping center. Stay tuned…

Spotted in front of Lottie’s Creamery in downtown Walnut Creek. If I had to guess I would say this is a late 1960’s or early 1970’s Cadillac. Anyone know the year?

Back last October I noted that Hobby Lobby was opening in Concord where Tower Records used to be and they have now opened. I dropped by and couldn’t believe how huge it is! A lot of Americana-type goods here that I haven’t seen elsewhere, very interesting stuff. Use one of their 40% off coupons for an even better deal.
