Filthy Gorgeous has moved quite a bit around Walnut Creek, recently having a prime spot on N. Main St. However, they have now moved to Broadway Plaza, right next to Boudin Bakery. It’s nicely decorated, but I wonder how this location will do.

The Contra Costa Times reports today about Broadway Plaza expansion plans:
Macerich may seek to build 200 residential units at its site. The plan may also call for the demolition of an existing 200,000 square feet of retail space, then rebuild that along with an additional 200,000 or 300,000 square feet of retail space, according to an meeting agenda report.
Macerich also seeks close off most of Broadway Plaza street to create a promenade and plaza.
I think blocking off the street through Broadway Plaza would be a smart move on their part. Hardly any auto traffic moves through there currently, and the extra space available to make it nicer for shoppers and pedestrians would improve foot traffic and time spent at nearby stores. Adding some restaurants wouldn’t be so bad either. As much as I like Nordstrom Cafe, Boudin Bakery and P.F. Chang’s, a little more diversity wouldn’t hurt.
Looks like March 9, 2012 will be the opening day.
Updated photo below, this is going to be a really nice building when they’re finished.
Did you know Walnut Creek has a harp store?! According to their website www.harpsetc.com they offer a free “Try the Harp Class” on the third Saturday of every month. Sounds interesting to say the least.
Hanna’s Bags, located across the street from Prima Ristorante on N. Main St. is moving down the block according to owner Farouk. They’re still deciding between two potential spots. Has anyone shopped here? I must have walked by this street hundreds of times and never noticed it before. I believe the French clothing store Jeu De Jupe used to be here.
