Well, that was fast. Thanks to everyone who sent word that less than one year opening at Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek, Pinstripes has closed. The first month they were open, I bowled with my family at half-off and had a great time. Their San Mateo location remains open. Check out this location here.

I did see lots of activity yesterday so hopefully they’ll open back up soon.
From the Original Joe’s web page:
Due to a minor kitchen fire, Original Joe’s in Walnut Creek is temporarily closed. Thankfully, everyone is safe with no injuries. We are grateful to the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District for their quick response and containment. We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. We look forward to reopening as quickly as possible and will share updates as they become available.
Did anyone have a chance to eat there before the fire?

About four years ago, we learned that furniture showroom Herman Miller would be coming to Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek, and it’s finally happening as they look to be opening right next to the Rivian showroom. Check out their online selection here. Who enjoys sitting in an Aeron chair?
From their website:
In 1923, the Michigan Star Furniture Company became what we now know as Herman Miller, when D.J. De Pree and his father-in-law (you guessed it—Herman Miller) purchased the company. De Pree renamed the company after Miller, who was a well-regarded businessman in the community.
