1110 Concord Ave, Concord
Over the summer we saw the progress of the new development replacing the old Peppermill restaurant in Concord and this has now finished with Habit Burger Grill (as well as other restaurants such as Jimmy John’s and Noodles & Company) opening in the last few weeks. There is plenty of outdoor patio space as you can see in the photo above which will be great once it stops raining and warms up a bit. Check out their menu here.

Did you know you can become a licensed fortune teller in Lafayette? That has to bring quite a bit of credibility! I’ve heard of licensed real estate agents, licensed contractors, licensed cosmetologists, but licensed fortune tellers?!
From the application process:
“Fortunetelling” means engaging for profit, directly or indirectly, in the act of:
(a) Foretelling, foreseeing or influencing a future act, event, condition or situation, or finding or restoring a lost or hidden thing, condition or situation, whether physical, spiritual, emotional or social;
Downtown Pleasant Hill Shopping Center
This fall we learned that Orchard Supply Hardware was coming to the Downtown Pleasant Hill Shopping Center where Lucky’s used to be and they have now opened. How does Orchard compare with Home Depot and Lowe’s?

From the Walnut Creek PD:
On 1/06/16 at 2333 hours, the Walnut Creek Police Department (WCPD) received a call that a robbery had just occurred at the 7-11 store located at 301 N. Civic Drive. Surveillance video showed the suspect fled northbound on foot. Officers arrived within a minute and set up a perimeter. A WCPD K-9 tracked the scent but no one was located.
The suspect brandished a handgun at the victim/employee and took an undisclosed amount of cash from the cash register before fleeing. No one was injured in the crime.
The suspect is believed to be the same responsible for recent robberies in Walnut Creek, Redwood City and San Leandro. Investigators from all involved agencies are working together to get the suspect identified.
Anyone with information is encouraged to call WCPD Detective Jeha at (925) 256-3518.
