Back in August I noted the temporary closing of the Shell gas station on Mt. Diablo Blvd. near the entrance to Highway 24 and now it has reopened after being completely reconstructed. This is the most convenient gas station for me and probably many others so I’m glad it’s finally back.

In February I noted that Max Studio closed in Broadway Plaza and now Brookstone will be opening in its place. This Brookstone will be located at 1224 Broadway Plaza, a few stores down from Nordstrom, right next to Janie and Jack. Does anyone remember when Sharper Image used to be in Broadway Plaza? I hope Brookstone can last longer.

Take a peek inside and you’ll see his distinctive artwork hanging which looks amazing. According to their Facebook page it’s by appointment only.
