September 16, 2013 8:30 am

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!

Steinway Piano Gallery Signage Up in Walnut Creek

September 13, 2013 8:30 am

It took me a while to catch this since the sign looks so similar to the previous one but this Steinway Piano Gallery sign replaces the Sherman Clay Piano sign since Steinway purchased this location (corner of Locust St. and Bonanza St. in Walnut Creek) from Sherman Clay as noted back in May.
