With the tax deadline approaching on April 18th now is the time to get one’s tax forms in order and submitted. In the past I’ve had accountants file my taxes and recently started using an online program to do my taxes which is surprisingly convenient to use. Do you do your own taxes or do you have an accountant do them?

Broadway Plaza, Walnut Creek
Interesting addition about Amazon Books coming to Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek which we found out back in January. According to this East Bay Times article, a cafe will be included in the “6,469-square-foot Amazon store”. As you can see in the photo of the recently vacated Coach store, Amazon Books will replace both the Coach store as well the the former Go! Calendars – Games – Toys store.
Downtown Pleasant Hill Shopping Center
Thanks to a reader for pointing out that Golf Galaxy has opened in the Downtown Pleasant Hill Shopping Center where Golfsmith used to be. Golf Galaxy is owned by DICK’S Sporting Goods and according to a store employee everything in the store comes from Golf Galaxy, not leftover from Golfsmith. Too bad about that sign though…

A sad scene at Blackhawk Plaza in Danville as the pond is drained for a makeover. As I looked out I saw ducks moping around not sure what to do. Quite a few were just sitting on the stones in the empty pond while others wandered aimlessly. Hopefully the water gets added back soon!

Unbelievable. According to this NBC Bay Area article, a Clayton Valley Charter High School student was arrested after images of a naked school administrator were shared. “He is accused of filming Linzey inside the locker room of the nearby Renaissance Club Sport in Walnut Creek. Investigators say he then posted the video online.”
I remember when a celebrity shared a photo of naked woman from a gym in Los Angeles last year and now this. What is the matter with some people!
Broadway Plaza, Walnut Creek
The iconic American leather goods store Coach suddenly closed in Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek recently. This is right next to the clothing store Aritzia which opened last week. On the other side will probably be an Amazon Books store.
