Spotted in Danville, this red Ford Mustang looks like it’d be a fun ride.

Willows Shopping Center, Concord
In January we learned that Ike’s Sandwich Shop would be coming to Willows Shopping Center in Concord and they are now open. Unlike their Walnut Creek location, this location makes sandwiches visibly out front.
There has been lots of progress at the new 1500 Mt. Diablo development in downtown Walnut Creek and these may be some of the last days to view the flowerpot from the mural on the wall of La Fogata. If you pass by take a peek between the two walls to see it.

The ice cream shop Crafts Creamery opened in Danville recently and as you can see in the photo below it’s made using liquid nitrogen although it doesn’t seem to be mentioned on their website. Unlike Smitten which also uses liquid nitrogen in their ice cream making process, Crafts Creamery offers a HUGE selection which is great. Check out their menu here.
A small size is $4.95 and is available in a premium, organic, low-fat, and a coconut/granita dairy-free base. After you choose a base you can choose from flavors such as Cap’n Crunch, adzuki bean, milk and cookies, and plenty more. Normally I stick with chocolate but I tried low fat caramel popcorn out of curiosity and it did indeed taste like caramel popcorn.

I was walking by the toy store 5 Little Monkeys in downtown Walnut Creek over the weekend when I spotted this tree surfing swing. Based in Charleston, South Carolina, the Swurfer is on a nationwide tour this summer. I tried the surfing swing and had a blast! If only I had a tree that could handle this. I know one nearby tree that would work well for the Swurfer. Check out their website here.

In March we learned that downtown Walnut Creek Ballet School would be expanding into the covered passageway where the boutique Norf London is located and the Pilates and Music Studio is now open. Check out their Facebook page here.
Every few months the Bedford Gallery in downtown Walnut Creek hosts a new exhibit; right now, it’s BlowUp Inflatable Contemporary Art. Seeing a painting during the Lafayette kitchen tour last weekend reminded me that Lafayette has interesting galleries as well. What is your favorite public and private gallery? East Bay and overall?
