Diablo Magazine recently came out with a slick free book (more like a square magazine) about things to do in Walnut Creek, the first in a series on different East Bay cities.
From an email:
The book is divided into sections—such as food and drink, city life, business, shopping, etc.—and features the Diablo editors’ collective knowledge of the city. There’s a global food tour, top 10 fitness picks, interview with a John Muir surgeon, annual events calendar, and more.
It’s chock full of information, nicely put together, and is FREE, so drop by the Broadway Plaza Concierge or Lesher Center and pick up a copy.
On a side note, the publisher, Barney Fonzi (no relation to Henry Winkler), writes in the introduction:
When I was a kid growing up in Pittsburg, I always looked forward to heading “over the hill” to Walnut Creek.
I always find references to more well-known cities around the world humorous for some reason. The East Bay has quite a few of them besides Pittsburg including Dublin, Albany, and Kensington. Sometimes I wish I lived in Kensington so when people ask me where I’m from I could say in my best Queen’s English, “I’m from Kensington, and you?”
