Dick’s Sporting Goods is opening soon according to a sign on the former Bally Total Fitness building in Pleasant HIll. If they are opening there I’m not sure what’s going where the Dome movie theater used to be, anyone know?

The eyebrow threading salon iBar is opening soon in another location (in addition to their Broadway Plaza location) right next to The Counter at the Mercer apartment complex on N. California Blvd. in downtown Walnut Creek. If I had to take a guess I imagine this is in preparation for when Broadway Plaza closes. This way they’ll still have a downtown Walnut Creek presence, and since the stores at Mercer are populated by so many salons this makes sense that they would move there.

Back in May I noted that Roam Artisan Burgers would be opening in Lafayette Circle where A.G. Ferrari used to be and construction has finally begun for the planned October opening. I wonder if anything will change in the back patio area. I can’t wait to try out a Roam burger!

Back in August the Walnut Creek police reported that the Walnut Creek Tiffany’s had their front doors smashed in by a truck and this is how to doors look like now. Pretty sad, I hope it gets replaced soon.
BCBGMAXAZRIA has closed in Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek recently judging from the empty storefront as seen in the photos below. By the way, how do people pronounce this store name? Surely people don’t pronounce the entire name, right? It’s eight syllables!

From the Walnut Creek PD:
On 9/14/13 at approximately 4:33pm, WCPD received several calls of shots fired on the 1700 block of Third Avenue. Through witness interviews, it appears a vehicle being driven westbound on Third Avenue fired several rounds out the vehicle’s window. It does not appear a specific person was targeted and two homes were struck by bullets. The suspect vehicle was described as a white sedan, similar to a Toyota Camry.
The suspect driver was described as a middle aged white male, blonde hair, tan t shirt and wearing sunglasses. No further description.
No one was struck or injured in the incident. WCPD is encouraging any witnesses to call us at (925) 943-5844.
