Last November when the Heather Farm all abilities playground opened in Walnut Creek I posted about the popularity of the “climbing” hills that were used to slide down with cardboard boxes and pointed out the danger of hitting one of the boulders placed right near the hills.

Look for an opening in, late spring/early summer. They will feature, “20 beers on tap, mostly locale and west coast breweries. plus a unique bottle selection.”

A few years ago I posted about the iconic Rinehart’s jewelry clock in downtown Walnut Creek from 1947 and recently noticed a subtle change with the JEWELRY text switched to GELATO. Note that the clock is directly in front of Honey Berry which just so happens offers gelato for sale.
