Spotted at Diablo Foothills Regional Park.
This was a fun trail to check out, in Alamo or Walnut Creek I think. This spot is great for climbing and exploring.

Willows Shopping Center, Concord
Last summer we learned that discount store Five Below would be coming to Willows shopping center, and signage indicates a spring opening. Check out their online selection here.
Lyric, Walnut Creek
In March, we learned that the restaurant Lita, featuring a modern approach to Latin Caribbean cuisine, would be opening at the Lyric apartment complex in downtown Walnut Creek and they have now opened. Check out their menu here. I was surprised to see a photo of a lobster corn dog… but it is, “served with spicy Caribbean ketchup” after all.
From their website:
LITA brings you Miami flavors with Caribbean influences. Our chef driven menu delivers classic Caribbean-Latino dishes, reimagined to highlight locally sourced ingredients. LITA is a fresh and modern approach to Latin Caribbean cuisine.

With the easily transmissible Omicron variant blowing in the wind, have you switched to N95/KN95/KF94 masks? I’m trying to, but it’s sold out wherever I look and based on past experience, I don’t trust Amazon. I also plan on purchasing the flatter KF94 type masks as they look way better than the ones that stick so far out.

This is not exactly new, but it’s been a while since I’ve been to Orinda Theatre Square… Comelones Tacos will be opening where Lava Pit Hawaiian Grill used to be. Check for updates on their Facebook page here. I look forward to a 2022 opening!
