The North Face is coming to Broadway Plaza where The Gap used to be. Check out their online selection here. Is this serendipity that a shop starting with The is replaced by a shop starting with The as well? Or is something deeper at play here?
From their website:
Named for the most challenging side of the mountain, The North Face has equipped explorers since 1966 to reach their dreams. Driven by the mantra of Never Stop Exploring™, our expeditions inspire us to test the outer limits of performance and possibility.

Thanks to a reader for sending word that Green Fish Seafood Market is coming to Walnut Creek where Walnut Creek Produce used to be, next to Il Pavone. It looks like this place has an existing market in Oakland Chinatown. Find out more about the history of the Oakland market here.

A store called Crystal Dreams is “coming soon” to downtown Walnut Creek where Ming Quong used to be. Smart move to choose this spot which seems similar in at least some respects I suspect.
