True to its name, Hubcaps, located at 1548 Bonanza St. in downtown Walnut Creek has car-related pictures and memorabilia hugging the walls everywhere. As you can see from the colored pictures hanging as well, it’s a great place to take kids. Whenever I go I have the Polish sausage meal and it’s been delicious every time. At the end I share chocolate ice cream. They always serve it soft, and that half-melting state always makes for a tastier ice cream.
This house rental is located at Almond Ave at N. California St in the Almond-Shuey neighborhood of Walnut Creek.

This is the Christmas Tree at Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek. Over the weekend the Salvation Army kicked off their holiday charity drive with a visit from the Salvation Army band. Definitely a festive environment over there this time of year.
Last time it was a yellow Ferrari, this time it’s a red one, right in front of Nordstroms.
