Thanks to a reader for pointing out that the Plaza Escuela parking garage in downtown Walnut Creek (where The Cheesecake factory is located) now has parking meters on the ground level. This has particular relevance since the Walnut Creek City Council voted last week to increase street parking to $2 per hour and eliminate free parking on Sundays (beginning this Spring). Is this the beginning of the end of free parking in downtown Walnut Creek?
1509 Cypress St, Walnut Creek
Located on Cypress St. in downtown Walnut Creek, the women’s boutique TRB Outlet is closing in December or January. As you can see from the store window there is an additional 20% off. I made a Judging Boutiques post about this store back in February of last year.
