I don’t know how Ministry of Supply managed to pull this off, but as I was strolling through Broadway Plaza yesterday during 102° weather I passed this sign that says, “Beat the 102° heat”.
Was it ridiculously hot yesterday or what?!

Ygnacio Plaza, Walnut Creek
GNC closed a couple of months ago in Ygnacio Plaza in Walnut Creek. This is right next to where T.J. Maxx will be located, previously the Fresh & Easy supermarket. There is a sign in the windows directing people to visit their Pleasant Hill location instead.
With lazy days of summer approaching, vacations sans internet, what books do you want to get to this summer? I’m looking forward to American Kingpin by Nick Bilton and The Gene by Siddhartha Mukherje. Anything else to consider?
