Spotted this new mural on the new, soon-to-open Crate & Barrel store in downtown Walnut Creek. At first, I wasn’t sure it’s finished, but I think it is? I see a Japanese rising sun like on the flag but don’t understand the meaning. Any ideas? The artist listed is Casey O’Connell. Mural Insta can be viewed here. Clearly a forest scene as noted in the comment below.

Several years ago, we learned that Janie and Jack would be closing at Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek due to the bankruptcy of its owner Gymboree, but they ultimately remained open thanks to GAP buying Janie and Jack shortly thereafter. However, Janie and Jack has now permanently closed their Broadway Plaza location. Check out their online selection here.

Cars haven’t been allowed on the main street at Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek for a while now, but recently they opened back up and as seen in the above photo, cars may freely pass. I wonder what it would be like had condos opened here with the street closed to traffic? Better or worse?
