Check out the latest progress on Macy’s in Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek. Compare to the reddish tiles on the old Macy’s. Which style and coloring do you like more? Note that the Believe sign is actually hiding glass paneling which is going to thankfully allow plenty of natural light inside.

According to Walnut Creek’s Crazy in Suburbia there has been quite a controversy brewing about Planned Parenthood teaching sex education classes at Acalanes high school. Check out the complete article here. More information in this Contra Costa Times article from last month.
From the article:
At issue are two handouts parents say violate the California Education Code. One is a checklist entitled “Sex check! Are you ready for sex,” which lists physical, emotional and relationship questions to consider before having sex. Included are phrases like, “I know when my body is sexually aroused,” and “I can tell my partner what feels good.”
I wonder how Acalanes compares to Miramonte, Campolindo and other nearby high schools in terms of what is taught. Shouldn’t the curriculum be basically the same?
With the holiday season having finished the Macy’s parking garage in Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut creek is now closed due to the massive redevelopment going on. The new multi-level parking garage next to Nordstrom opened last month and there is complementary valet parking as well but I wonder how this will affect the parking situation in downtown Walnut Creek. I may have to scout out more free street parking further away.
