This week according to Contra Costa Health Services, the, “adjusted average daily number of new COVID-19 cases in Contra Costa has doubled in recent weeks, rising from 4.3 per 100,000 population on Oct. 16 to 9.2 on Nov. 16.” Contra Costa is now back in the red tier which has led to limits on indoor activities such as movie theaters, museums and other activities.
Given the degrading circumstances, are you planning on celebrating Thanksgiving with non-household family and/or friends next week?

I was holding out hope that Napa-based Heritage Eats, which opened a couple of years ago at Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek, would reopen, but alas, their signage has been taken down, with nary a mention on their website. Their Napa location is still open so check out their menu if you’re in the area. I enjoyed eating here while they were open and they were one of the last places I ate at before the SIP orders closed indoor dining.
