Walked by Redux Lounge over the weekend in downtown Walnut Creek and noticed a sign in the window indicating that their alcohol beverage license has been suspended indefinitely. Records show they were suspended back in 2010 and 2009. Anyone know what happened?

It’s been six months since we learned that the alcoholic beverage store BevMo! would be coming to downtown Lafayette where Design & Interiors used to be and they have now opened in a smaller than usual spot. How does this compare to the Orinda location other than size?

A few years ago we learned that Hiro Sushi opened in downtown Walnut Creek where C U Sushi used to be and according to a public notice a new sushi joint called Andy Sushi will be taking over. As you can see it has been painted red and according to this Craigslist post, they are planning to open, “late August/early September” and are hiring.
From the post:
We are a family owned restaurant seeking people who are enthusiastic, organized, and excited about the restaurant opening. Our goal is to create a welcoming atmosphere for customers and of course, delicious japanese food.

I cannot decide between going with MCE clean Energy or staying with PG&E. The rates are very similar. In addition, I also have solar panels on my roof. The automatic MCE 50% option goes into effect on September 12. See link below. Do you have any recommendations or comments?

See’s Candies has been open for a while now in their new Broadway Plaza corner spot next to Nordstrom. My favorite is the butterscotch lollipop. What’s your favorite?
This week we learned that the fast food restaurant Jack in the Box closed in Moraga which got me wondering what would eventually replace it. It’s been a very long time since I’ve been to McDonald’s but I do enjoy an In-N-Out burger every now and then. I also enjoy Chipotle. What is your favorite fast food restaurant?
