Just like there is a Paris, TX, and a Dublin, CA, as of Dec. 2011, there is a new Walnut Creek on the East Coast, specifically located in South Carolina. From their website:
Walnut Creek is convenient to everything—shopping, employment, entertainment and recreation. Ballantyne and the I-485 interchange are just 20 minutes from the community. Uptown Charlotte is only 25 miles north.
Walnut Creek offers quality housing in an affordable and stable neighborhood amid the historic and natural beauty of Twelve Mile Creek. For those seeking an active lifestyle, amenities include the Creek itself and the adjacent 60-acre Walnut Creek County Park.
Located in one of the fastest growing counties in South Carolina, the area around Walnut Creek has excellent shopping. Within three miles of the community are two Harris Teeter grocery stores, Lowes Home Improvement, several banks and a Starbucks. A new Publix grocery store is under construction four miles from Walnut Creek.
Welcome to all the new residents of Walnut Creek, SC.
Walnut Creek has been planning on selling a parking lot located at Mt. Diablo Blvd. and N. Main St. for a while now. They have already received buyer proposals which are under evaluation and in February it will be discussed at the city council. Although the lot is rather small, it doesn’t get more prime than this; this is truly the heart of downtown Walnut Creek, across the street from Tiffany’s, and diagonally across from the new Neiman Marcus store.
Does anyone want to take a guess at how much this could go for? Does anyone have opinions on this one way or the other?
The Broadway Plaza Concierge in downtown Walnut Creek is located right next to Macy’s. According to the sign they offer gift cards, restrooms, wifi, a lounge area, and a nursing lounge. It’s also the place to go to rent children’s shopping cars. When I’ve been it’s always very clean and comfortable. Much more spacious than the old concierge from a few years ago. Many times they play children’s movies on the big screen tv to entertain the little ones. Anyone else enjoy this place?
This is a great idea for those who don’t want the long-term commitment. From the Craigslist ad:
Fosters needed for 8 baby kittens… about 4-6 weeks old. They do not all have to go to the same foster, we could split them into two groups of 4 so they are more manageable.
We are a 501(c)3 non-profit, all-rescue, volunteer group helping homeless and abandoned kitties in your community. But to help those kitties, we need foster homes desperately! We get calls everyday, but we don’t have enough foster space for all of them.
What is required of you? Food, water, litter, love, a safe place for them to live, and bringing them to our Pleasant Hill, Walnut Creek, or Lafayette adoption sites on the weekends when they are old enough (about 8 weeks old).
What do we do to help? I would be your main contact and would answer any questions you have and I will work to find them good, safe, and loving homes. Our rescue group will take care of the vaccinations, testing, spay/neuter and othe misc. medical.
Want to help but can’t foster? We always welcome donations– financial to help cover medical costs, food, litter, bedding, toys, carriers, litter boxes, and other supplies. We also have a Thrift Shop, called Rescued Treasures near DVC where you can donate gently used items, shop, or volunteer your time.
Please e-mail me if you can help. Highschool students can receive commnity service hours for fostering!!! This is a nice way to have the joy of kittens without the 20-year commitment.
As seen on the window of Crogan’s Bar and Grill in downtown Walnut Creek.
Some Guiness was spilt on the barroom floor
Out of his hole crept a wee brown mouse
He lapped up the frothy brew from the floor
And all knight long you could hear him roar
when the pub was shut for the night,
and stood in the pale moonlight.
then back on his haunches he sat,
“Bring on the @#$%&!? cat!”
Apparently this originated in 1936 and was written and performed by the Dixon Brothers:
