This week NBC Bay Area reported that a clown tried to grab a baby at a Concord bus stop. Evil clown sighting have been reported throughout the country. Yet when I was growing up it wasn’t strange to have clowns at birthday parties. I remember enjoying walloping a Bozo the Clown punching bag every now and then and looked forward to circus visits with clowns galore.
Now it seems like everyone is afraid of clowns. Are you afraid of clowns?

Broadway Plaza, Walnut Creek
It came as a surprise to me when I parked my car at Broadway Plaza a couple of weeks ago that they still hadn’t started charging for parking at their garages. They were supposed to begin charging September 12th but it’s still free to park. According to a text message from Broadway Plaza, they, “do not have a set date for when [they] will be adding the parking charge”.
