Back in June we learned that a new bridal salon called Lace & Bustle would be coming to the Clocktower in downtown Lafayette and the signage is now up and is expected to open in late August. Check out their latest updates on their Facebook page here.
From the owner:
A sweet, intimate bridal boutique nestled in Lafayette, California with a lovely curated collection of bridal gowns, vintage, and designer jewelry. We are dedicated to making the tradition of shopping for your dress as beautiful as the dress itself!
KTVU has further information on the murder-suicide committed by Acalanes High School (Lafayette) graduate Scott Bertics against Las Lomas High School (Walnut Creek) graduate Clare Orton that happened on July 21st in the North Homestead neighborhood of Walnut Creek.
According to the Walnut Creek police department, “two firearms [were] used by Bertics on 7/21/15. Both weapons were built by Bertics, who secretly ordered various parts through the mail.”

At the beginning of the year we learned that the owners of Gusto and Locanda Positano in San Carlos would be opening a new Italian restaurant called Locanda Ravello in Danville this spring and they are expected to open very soon, probably by this weekend. Check for updates on their Facebook page here.
From their website:
An Amalfi Coast pizzeria is coming to downtown Danville from the same people who brought you Gusto and Locanda Positano in San Carlos!
Featuring Neopolitan pizza, pasta, and bar. Look for our Grand Opening soon!
Apple Store, Walnut Creek
Over the weekend I was walking in downtown Walnut Creek when I noticed a protest in front of the Apple store. According to the sign this looks like a labor dispute protest about how Apple is not requiring a construction company to pay stand wages and benefits “on all projects all the time”. My seven year old son was mesmerized by the grim reaper below. He literally was frozen staring at it until I motioned him inside to play some app games on an iPad.
