The bar Urban Alley opened last summer in downtown Walnut Creek but they have been “closed for maintenance” for quite a while now and both their Facebook and Instagram pages are not displaying. The Yelp page indicates a November 26th reopening but why would they deactivate their social media pages if they’re planning to reopen? Anyone know what’s going on?
Thanks to a reader for sending a photo of this sweet looking mural:

This year, Face of Winter, the 69th installment from Warren Miller Entertainment presented by Volkswagen, will bring new and veteran athletes alike together to pay tribute to the man who started it all.
Watch as the world’s best skiers and riders cover ground in some of the most legendary destinations to honor a face that launched a thousand quips and got us all started on this long, crazy ride. Visit some of Warren’s favorite locations from Switzerland to Chamonix, British Columbia to Alaska, Chile, Iceland, New Zealand and more.
