Spotted at the new Burgerim in Pleasant Hill. The sign on the door says, “restroom for all”. Next to the door is a typical bathroom sign: “WOMEN”. Which one is correct?
Thanks to a reader for pointing out this sign at the Lesher Center parking garage in downtown Walnut Creek:
POLICE BAIT CAR MAY BE IN PARKING LOT
-WALNUT CREEK POLICE
Is there some legal reason this sign is needed? If so, if the bait car is blue would it be invalidated? “Your honor, the sign clearly shows a red sports car but the bait car was a blue SUV …”
Spotted outside the Veteran’s building on Hartz Ave in Danville.

Broadway Plaza, Walnut Creek
Along with the new Apple store opening at Broadway Plaza tomorrow in downtown Walnut Creek are new electronic displays with advertisements on one side and a clickable store directory on the other. I wonder what operating system they’re running, not MacOS? Maybe Apple should start selling an embedded OS to compete with Linux… đ
Spotted at the Veranda shopping center in Concord. They also have ping pong đ, cornhole and other games where the ice skating rink used to be. Great idea.
Spotted somewhere in Concord…
