Back in November I noted that Footcandy would be closing in downtown Walnut Creek by the end of the year and sure enough, yesterday was their last day in business. Did anyone get a great deal over the weekend or was everything gone?

Back in September I noted the opening of the pop-up “design house” store Toss Designs in Broadway Plaza next to Nordstrom that was to remain open through January but apparently business has been doing well so they will remain in the same location for at least one more year. As you can see they now have signage up as well.

The popular Italian restaurant Tomatina is sporting failry new signage below the tomato sign:
Pasta • Piadine • Pizza
When I saw it I had no idea what piadine was, but now I know it’s Italian flatbread:
Piadina or Piada is a thin Italian flatbread, typically prepared in the Romagna region (Forlì–Cesena,Ravenna and Rimini). It is usually made with white flour, lard or olive oil, salt and water. The dough was traditionally cooked on a terracotta dish (called teggia in the Romagnolo dialect), although nowadays flat pans or electric griddles are commonly used.

Last month I posted a photo of the demolition of the white building in downtown Walnut Creek On Newell Ave. and S. Main St. and as you can see from the photo it is no more. Check out an earlier post I made of the condos which will take it its place eventually. This looks promising.
I noticed Lottie’s Creamery received a stop work order recently for unauthorized exterior work which is unfortunate but the progress on the inside is coming along nicely judging from the photo below. Originally scheduled to open in the Fall, delayed to December, I’m hoping for a January opening. Lottie’s Creamery is located in downtown Walnut Creek at 1414 N. Main St. across the street from Wells Fargo.
