Thanks to a reader for sending word that the casual men’s shirt store UNTUCKit is coming to Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek where True Religion and Just Cozy used to be. Check out their men’s selection here and women’s selection here.
From their website:
It ought to be easy: to look smart, casual, and feel comfortable with your shirt untucked. But dress shirts are simply not designed to be worn untucked and it shows. We did a ton of research to understand where people wanted the shirt to fall – the perfect length. And using this information, we defined the design for the untucked shirt. One fit for comfort and not convention; designed for the untucked man. An untucked shirt. UNTUCKit shirts are dress shirts for the rest of us

Thanks to a reader for pointing out that after being open less than six months Take One Pizza has closed in downtown Walnut Creek. When I dropped by over the weekend mail was seen piling up right behind the front door. You may recall a few years ago Project Pie closed a short hop away after being open only a few months, replaced by Pizza My Heart so maybe we’ll see a new pizza place open here as well?
In addition to Pizza My Heart there is also Extreme Pizza, CPK, Pancoast Pizza and my favorite, Slice House!

Late last year we learned that Vic Stewart’s would be closing in downtown Walnut Creek and now that the building is getting demolished to make room for new retail space, the Southern Pacific rail car is visible before it gets shipped off to the Martinez Historical Society museum. Thanks to a reader for pointing out this cool historical piece of Walnut Creek!
They note:
I think this is the first time the car has been visible since it was placed there in 1974 when the building was moved here and converted to a restaurant.

OI-C Bowl hasn’t been closed for long and already Siam Fine Thai Cuisine has soft-opened in this downtown Walnut Creek spot.
