Recently a new store opened up on Broadway Plaza called Cornology. According to their website:
We bring in the finest kernels the Midwest has to offer. We take those kernels and pop them fresh throughout the day. Then we entice our customers even further by mixing our creations with only the freshest and finest gourmet ingredients that makes Cornology unique and very different.
This is probably one of the more unique stores on Broadway Plaza. Quite a few dessert-related stores have tried to make it at that location and failed, so let’s hope this one can pull through. I’ve had it and liked it a lot. It’s located at 1288 Broadway Plaza right near Macy’s.
A short while after snapping this photo a worker was making the finishing touches on this Neiman Marcus sign.
The sign details:
Dates: November 19 – December 24
Location: Santa House on Broadway Lane
“Receive a special gift for stopping by”
Note: Santa’s Breaks are Mon. – Sun. 2 pm – 3 pm

Diablo Magazine reports that Citra Grill will be taking over the Diva boutique at the corner of Locust and Olympic Blvd, across the street from the movie theater. They write:
It’s an interesting concept from first-time restaurant owner Ramin Behtash, a longtime high-tech veteran from Silicon Valley. Behtash plans to have five centerpiece items on the menu—halibut, shrimp, chicken, steak, and vegetables—that will be flame grilled on bamboo skewers and served on fresh-baked bread.
The public notice of application to sell alcoholic beverages was posted prominently.
As Crazy in Suburbia reported today, Pinky’s Pizza will be reopening this Friday, having closed their original location in 2008 across the street from Trader Joe’s on S. California Blvd. When I dropped by today I got a couple of photos, and although all the windows were blocked out, I peeked in the back entrance and could see the pizza dough being stored in the refrigerators.
Apparently Pinky’s was a real institution back in the day, and having visited a few times a few years ago I can attest to the unique feel the place has. Being originally from New York I can’t say it’s the best pizza I’ve ever eaten, but if atmosphere counts I’d say it was pretty darn good.
Pinky’s Pizza is located at 2085 N. Broadway in Walnut Creek, across from the post office:
