Of all the wonderful ice cream parlors there in the Bay Area, Portland-based Salt & Straw tops the list for me with its decadent, unique flavors. I’ve enjoyed cones at their Portland and Hayes Valley location in San Francisco and am really excited to learn they’ll be opening their first East Bay location at City Center Bishop Ranch in San Ramon. Check out the current San Francisco menu here and read about their story here. If you’ve never tried a Salt & Straw cone before you definitely should check this place out when they open and if you just can’t wait check out one of their other Bay Area locations here.

Yesterday we learned that the public art stick-work sculptures were removed after two years at Civic Park in downtown Walnut Creek. There are plenty other public art pieces in the East Bay including the Hand of Peace sculpture seen in the above photo. What is your favorite public art in the East Bay and also in the US and beyond?
Citrus Marketplace, Walnut Creek
Thanks to a reader for sending word that Quizno’s Subs closed recently at the Citrus Marketplace in Walnut Creek.
When the stick-work sculptures made from woven willow saplings went up in front of the Walnut Creek Library at Civic Park a couple of years ago I knew they would be gone within two years, but driving by recently and seeing them missing, replaced by a forlorn dirt patch, made me somehow sad. You can still see the Hand of Peace sculpture and the recently completed colorful mural in the background towards the top left in the above photo.
