This ramp is located by the Walnut Creek Nordstrom men’s department; the main ramp is wheelchair accessible. I wonder what the story behind this is. It’s obviously designed to be wheelchair accessible, so were the laws changed about maximum slope, was there an accident that caused them to embed that sign into the ground, or was it something else? Does anyone know what happened?
Also, note the spelling, “WHEEL CHAIRS” as opposed to “WHEELCHAIRS”.
The Super Silver Walnut Creek jewlery store, located in Broadway Plaza near Nordstrom, has been closed since the end of February. According to their Facebook page they still have stores in Capitola, Santa Cruz and Sacramento.

As noted a couple of days ago, there is plenty of local artwork permanently on display around the new Neiman Marcus store in Walnut Creek. On the press preview tour some of the artists were at the store so I was lucky to able to take photos of four of the artists with their artwork in the background. It was really great to be able to talk with them about their commissioned pieces and how the Neiman Marcus curator was able to place each piece in the most appropriate spot.
A couple of things to be aware of, this artwork is on permanent display, it does not get rotated out over time. Also, in deference to the artwork, Neiman Marcus does not display merchandise in front of the art. That’s pretty incredible as they lose out on display space, but it’s great for the shopper who can appreciate the art better.

Neiman Marcus Restroom
Nordstrom restroom
From the blog that brought you a comparison of Restoration Hardware vs. Pottery Barn restrooms, I now present to you, Neiman Marcus vs. Nordstrom, the restroom edition. Take a look at the photos and decide for yourself which is nicer.
On a side-note, take a look a the Neiman Marcus directory below, and count the number of men’s restrooms and the number of women’s restrooms. Notice anything peculiar?
