New location at 1005 Oak Hill Rd.
Last week I noted that Rossi’s Tennis & Running shop moved to Mt. Diablo Blvd. and now P & L Framing has opened in this location at 1005 Oak Hill Rd. next to where Blockbuster used to be. Their old location on Fiesta Lane is being completely remodeled as the former stores vacate to make room for high-end stores due to Cooperage American Grille opening next door.

In April I noted that the restaurant Vitality Bowls was coming to Walnut Creek and as of now they plan on opening late July according to the owner. They also have locations in San Ramon and Pleasanton where I recently tried my first vitality bowl which contains Acai blended with coconut milk, apple juice, bananas, strawberries, flax seed and topped with organic granola, bananas, strawberries, goji berries and honey. Check out their complete menu here. I really enjoyed it, would have this for dessert or breakfast again. They also offer sandwiches, salads and smoothies.
Spotted in front of Pyramid Alehouse in downtown Walnut Creek. Anyone know what model and year this is?

A couple of weeks ago I noted that Mancini’s Sleepworld was opening in the former Giggle baby store on N. Main St. in downtown Walnut Creek and of course that means their old location on Locust St. is closing. Since this space will be available what would you like to see?
