The Danville-based gift shop Last Detail is closing sometime in March and is currently offering 40% off everything in the store with 70% off seasonal goods. They are located at the corner of Railroad Ave. and Church St. in downtown Danville.
These great chairs were spotted in the patio area at MexCal in Danville. (I posted about their new Orinda location last month).

Thanks to a reader for sending word that Açaí-Me Superfoods Café recently had a soft-opening in the Danville Livery in downtown Danville with the grand opening scheduled for March. Check out their menu here. I tried the Monkey Bowl and thought it was great. One difference I noticed compared to Vitality Bowls is they blend the acai with kale and flax. Check out a photo of the inside below. There is also a TV in the corner of the store.

China Paradise has been closed for several months on Hartz Ave in downtown Danville but a recent sign in the window indicates that a new restaurant called Yo’s on Hartz will be opening up in this spot. Stay tuned…
The historic Danville Hotel, Restaurant and Saloon on Hartz Ave. in downtown Danville is getting redeveloped and “replaced with approximately 35,000 square feet of new residential, retail and restaurant uses” according to the Town of Danville website:
The historic Danville Hotel structure and the McCauley House on Hartz Avenue will both be retained and renovated. Existing uses on the remainder of the 1.12 acre site will be replaced with approximately 35,000 square feet of new residential, retail and restaurant uses. The project will include 16 for-sale second story residential units, averaging 1,200 square feet in size.
Castle Companies, the current co-owner of the property, will be preparing more detailed project drawings for Design Review Board review over the next several months. This effort will be followed up by preparation of building and site improvement drawings for the planned construction in 2012.
Find out more about the project from the Danville Express here.

Diablo Dish reports that a new restaurant will be opening up by the end of February where the British pub The Crown used to be on Hartz Ave. in Danville. The owners also started Esin Restaurant in 1998 which is located nearby this new location (after relocating in 2008). The “gastropub concept” sounds great, can’t wait to see how it turns out!
