Downtown Pleasant Hill Shopping Center
Thanks to everyone who sent word that Pasta Pomodoro has closed in the Downtown Pleasant Hill Shopping Center on Crescent Drive. Quite a number of new restaurants have opened in this shopping center lately so the competition for diners must be fierce. Also thanks much to the reader who sent in the photo.

In August we learned that the Japanese restaurant Izakaya Jun closed in downtown Walnut Creek, with a replacement coming “one month later”. The new restaurant will be called Kurumi Sushi & Grill, opening the following week, and will serve very similar dishes that were available at the previous restaurant. That’s because the new owner was a chef at Izakaya Jun. I have confirmed that yaki onigiri (grilled rice balls) will still be available which means I’ll be back for sure.
Broadway Plaza, Walnut Creek
After being gone from downtown Walnut Creek for over two years, the stationery and greeting card store Papyrus is back in downtown Walnut Creek, this time in Broadway Plaza. If you need a greeting card, this is the place to check out. Don’t forget that Paper Source, a much larger stationery store is also located in downtown Walnut Creek, a short walk away.
