Last month I noted that the restaurant Cooperage Bar and Grill would be expanding into the children’s bookstore Storyteller in downtown Lafayette but don’t fret as Storyteller has reopened in Lafayette in the Whole Foods plaza behind Peet’s Coffee and Tea. As the sign below notes, they hold puppet shows on Saturdays at 10am.

What is an instrument doing on the side of this Lafayette building? Even the siding is artistic. Does anyone know the story behind this wall?
Back last December I noted the opening of a popup art gallery by Tom Matousek and now they have just opened in a new location in Lafayette at 996 Moraga Rd. next to Squirrels Coffee Shop. Take a peek inside and you’ll see his distinctive artwork hanging which looks amazing. According to their Facebook page it’s by appointment only.
Spotted in front of Venture Men’s Goods clothing store in downtown Lafayette. Entries due by Friday, March 29th. Some of the decorated egg drawings were hanging in their window. Another great idea by Venture.
