Back in 2011 when the San Francisco Giants Dugout store opened in downtown Walnut Creek, they had won the World Series the year before, and would go on to win the World Series the following year. The last few years have not been as rewarding with losing seasons the last three years so it’s not surprising they closed last week. Thanks to all who emailed me about this.

Philz Coffee latest expansion is to City Center Bishop Ranch in San Ramon. Stay tuned…
A year after first opening and City Center Bishop Ranch is a lot more crowded than before which is not surprising since so many new restaurants, retails shops and other experiences have opened recently making it a lot more interesting than before.

Until fairly recently Amazon Books at Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek had no price tags. You had to scan items on one of their scanners scattered around the store. I’m glad they now have electronic price tags with both Prime and non-Prime pricing that can be automatically updated. Way more convenient shopping there now!
Not only has a new year come but a new decade as well. What do you predict will happen this decade, the 2020s? What restaurant, food and shopping trends will we see in 2030?
There’s a certain restaurant in downtown Walnut Creek with a “Best of” award sign posted in the window from the year 2000. How long should these signs be posted? Does an award from 20 years ago encourage you to check it out or the opposite?
