Just noticed that Lottie’s Creamery has a new sidewalk sign display up in downtown Walnut Creek. I had a scoop of apricot crumble, amazing as always.

8:00pm (Fri) 2:00pm (Sun) | Buy ticketsPassion, bitterness, jealousy and innocence all converge on a tragic collision course in one of Giuseppe Verdi’s most stirring operas, his masterful adaptation of William Shakespeare’s Othello.
Otello captures Verdi at the height of his powers, filling the music with equal measures of poetry and passion. Festival Opera is proud to celebrate Verdi’s 200th anniversary with this exceptional musical achievement, presented in co-production with Palo Alto’s West Bay Opera.
Thanks to a reader for noting there is some activity going on at the old Sakana Sushi restaurant which closed in December in Walnut Creek at Newell Square. Anyone know what’s going in here? Maybe a sushi place called Kana Sushi? 🙂
Back in January I noted that Arden B. was closing in Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek and now J.Jill will be moving from around the corner next to Crate & Barrel to this new location. The planned open date is July 18th. The new location is right on the main drag across from Banana Republic and next to J. Crew so this is a better location but what happens when Broadway Plaza closes to remodel?

Parked outside of See’s Candies in Lafayette last Friday during their grand opening was a 1930 Ford Model A and a 1930 Harley Davidson motorcycle. Instead of a trunk in the back check out the additional row of seats! They had a great spin-the-wheel game with lots of chocolate being handed out. For those living in Lamorinda no need to head out to Walnut Creek for your See’s fix.
