Dear BtCreek – Desperately Seeking Santa in Broadway Plaza

December 8, 2014 10:00 am

Dear BtCreek,

I’m pretty convinced that the Walnut Creek (Broadway Plaza) Santa is the real Santa and I love that my kids get their photo with him each year. I’m really sad that he doesn’t have a home in Walnut Creek for 2014, and the Pleasanton and Concord Santas are just not the same. I was too late to get into the Breakfast With Santa and I see he’ll be around the weekend before Christmas — since you’re in the know, is that my only chance to snap a photo of my little ones with the Best Santa Ever?

Check out more details on where the Broadway Plaza Santa will be here. Not how many other opportunities there will be besides the weekend before Christmas, anyone know?

Dear BtCreek-
I was surprised to see the Lawrence Way recycling center had closed September 28th. A huge disappointment to those of use who want to recycle in a timely and efficient manner. Do your readers have any recommendations?

The bottom of this Contra Costa article has available recycling options. Anyone know of any other recycling centers in or near Walnut Creek?

Dear BtCreek – Heather Farm Park Restrooms?

October 29, 2014 10:00 am

Dear BtCreek-

Why no restrooms at Heather Farms Parks? Restrooms are across the streets at various other establishments. In lieu of the gigantic new playground there why could they not put in restrooms for the kids?

Are there any public restrooms near the new all abilities playground in Heather Farm Park? I know the Clarke Swim Center has restrooms but they’re not public.
