Spotted outside The Mystic Dream in downtown Walnut Creek on N. Broadway. What I want to know is whether he is a licensed witch. đ

Surveillance video showed the suspect fled northbound on foot. Officers arrived within a minute and set up a perimeter. A WCPD K-9 tracked the scent but no one was located.

We knew this was happening back in June but it’s still disappointing that Barnes & Noble actually closed in downtown Walnut Creek last Thursday. This was one of my go-to stores to drop by when in downtown and as I pondered the closing outside their doors over the weekend many others were surprised as they learned it was closed for good. I guess I’ll just have to browse for books virtually from now on.
Stay tuned for Anthropologie relocating here…
Thanks to a reader for pointing out that Pizza My Heart is coming to downtown Walnut Creek this spring. Their website notes that they will coming to the “corner of Botelho and California” and the address will be 1598 Botelho Dr, which differs slightly from Project Pie’s address 1590 Botelho Dr, but that location makes the most sense since it used to be… a pizza restaurant. Project Pie closed suddenly in October.
Check out their menu here and if you have access to a Walnut Creek address fill out the form on this page for a free t-shirt and, “a certificate for a free pizza slice at the Walnut Creek restaurant when it opens”.

In June we learned that the Spanish clothing store Zara would be coming to Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek and plans have been submitted to the city showing a rendering of what it may look like. A new building with plenty more windows (and light) would replace the Macy’s Men’s store. Check out all the new Broadway Plaza store openings here.

A cool new flower shop opened recently in Walnut Creek in the strip mall where Pacific Bay Coffee and Georgeâs Giant Hamburgers are located on Newell Ave. Check out their floral gallery here. They offer free delivery to Kaiser Permanente hospital across the street.
From their website:
We both spent our youth outdoors elbow-deep in flower and veggie gardens here in the Bay Area, and perhaps itâs because weâre locally grown ourselves that we believe so strongly in the power of community, and how businesses supporting one another strengthens the fabric of that community. So when we decided to open our own flower shop we wanted a holistic business approach. We offer the best in floral design (goes without saying!) but our florals are sourced using premium flowers from local growers. We work with recycled containers whenever we can, and appreciate those that do the same. We are earth friendly and socially consciousâwe compost, we use vintage ribbons and containers, we deliver leftover florals to community groups, we partner with local organizations, and we give back via donations and outreach.
