The Veranda, Concord
Thanks to everyone for sending word that Gap Factory opened last week at the Veranda shopping center in Concord. Check out the Gap Factory online store here. What’s the difference between Gap and Gap Factory? I know Gap Factory offers a more affordable selection but is the quality the same as Gap with less selection or does the quality differ?

10:30am | FreeSan Francisco Pride is one of the oldest and largest LGBTQIA parades in the world. Contingents march through the heart of the city, along Market Street, with more than 100,000 spectators. This year we welcome over 280 contingents.
Spotted at the Veranda shopping center in Concord. They also have ping pong 🏓, cornhole and other games where the ice skating rink used to be. Great idea.
In 1975 the movie Jaws was released about a great white shark terrorizing an East Coast beach town. In August, 2018 The Meg will be released, about a giant pre-historic megalodon creature which makes the shark in Jaws look puny. Is bigger always better? On that note, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is coming out today. What movies are you looking forward to this summer?
