Thanks to everyone who emailed that Cost Plus World Market is closing at Plaza Escuela in downtown Walnut Creek. 20% – 40% off everything so far. Browsing this store was always interesting and fun, especially when my kids were small so I’m saddened to see it go. 😔

Sad news as Bierhaus, the German-inspired restaurant and beer hall which opened about a year ago, closed in downtown Walnut Creek. I really enjoyed dining there and hope they come back in the future. Thanks to all who emailed about this.

In September we learned that the North Vancouver-based clothing and gear company Arc’teryx would be coming to Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek where Everything But Water used to be, and they have now opened. Check out their online shop here. There’s still 25% off sitewide through today. It’s a small shop but all very high quality goods.

I was holding out hope that Napa-based Heritage Eats, which opened a couple of years ago at Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek, would reopen, but alas, their signage has been taken down, with nary a mention on their website. Their Napa location is still open so check out their menu if you’re in the area. I enjoyed eating here while they were open and they were one of the last places I ate at before the SIP orders closed indoor dining.
