As summer approaches, reading lists abound such as 5 books worth reading this summer as recommended by Bill Gates or 73 books to read while the sun is out from the NY Times. One of the books on the Gates list, Factfulness, can even be downloaded for free for new college graduates. As a longtime Mets and Seinfeld fan I’d like to check out I’m Keith Hernandez. What do you look forward to reading this summer?

The Veranda, Concord
Last month we learned that Coffee Shop, which originally opened in Walnut Creek several years ago, would be coming to Danville and they are also opening at the Veranda shopping center in Concord as well. This location is directly across from the IMAX movie theater and as you can see in the above photo, the outdoor seating area is spacious and amazing! Whoever picks Coffee Shop locations is very smart as these locations are always perfectly situated with great outdoor seating options.
