The Eastern European restaurant and deli Babushka is getting a makeover as Babushka Bar & Lounge, as it will be known, expands where the deli used to be in front. The deli/grocery has moved to the back where Ivivva used to be before it relocated to Broadway Plaza.

From an email:
I was out of town and unable to participate in the march in my own neighborhood (!). Is there some way to link up with the people who marched here? Are there local efforts to keep active around all the chaos that Trump is creating? I’d so appreciate it if you could refer me to someone other than the Democratic Party.

On Saturday in Washington D.C. and cities around the world, the Women’s March took place including downtown Walnut Creek. Starting in Civic Park, thousands of people marched up Locust Street and back down N. Main St. in at times pouring rain, showing their support for various issues as well as protesting against incoming President Trump. One police officer monitoring the crowd said this was the biggest crowd in downtown Walnut Creek he had ever seen. To get an idea of how large the crowd was take a look at the photo below showing people marching from Civic Park towards Lesher Center a few blocks away. There were even more people out of frame in the park as well as marching up Locust St. Check out plenty of photos after the jump and check back every day this week for more photos of the march.
