Use Lane B? This may one of the most confusing parking signs I have ever seen. This parking lot is located next to the Lafayette library and if this were a parking sign it would be baffling but it’s actually a shopping sign for the little take-out espresso stand in the middle of the parking lot. Makes more sense now…

Thanks to a reader for sending word that McDonald’s has closed in downtown Walnut Creek. This is not surprising as an apartment complex has been planned for this spot. All signage has been stripped clean which makes for a cool looking sign below. A sign in the door notes that Lafayette, Pleasant Hill and Concord locations are still open.

The signage for Amphora Lafayette Olive Oil Works, located next to The Cooperage is great. I’ve been using their extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar for salad dressing and everyone in my family agrees it is SO delicious.
