Thanks to a reader for sending word that sustainable women’s clothing store Reformation is coming to Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek. Check out their online selection here.

Last April, we learned that Cajun Crack’n, a Cajun style seafood restaurant, would be coming to Willows Shopping Center in Concord and they have now opened. I wonder how this compares to Rockin Crawfish in the Park ‘N’ Shop shopping center?
