Hi everyone, just moved to Walnut Creek area from SF. Having lived in SF for pretty all my life, high 70s is considered hot for me.
How does one stay cool in Walnut Creek without an AC. I have a fan which makes sleeping somewhat tolerable.
Are they such things as cold blankets?
Never see them and often wonder how often they really check who’s paid for daily parking. They’re checking today!
Oh No. I just noticed Pizza My Heart is closed down. That was my go to for downtown pizza in WC. Now where should I go that is close by - walking distance.
Moving from Phoenix and need to find a new regular facial spot. Any one have a favorite? :)
We are looking some open houses in the Rudgear Estases. We really liked the neighborhood, but a bit confused the foothill houses. Can there be snakes in this neighborhood? Anything that we should consider before finalizing something?
My wife loves to shop in WC and their restaurants but were moving from a small town suburb in central valley. Just want to check what's it like being a minority in WC ( southeast Asian). Is there any racial discrimination or do all people seem to fit in? How would people rate the level of bouginess? Im a very low key person so im usually dressed down and not really trying to impress anyone. Thanks for any input!
Is the area North of Northgate, bordering Concord, still considered a good and “safe” area?
I see it is right by Ygnacio High School in Concord but is zoned for Northgate HS in Walnut Creek. Is there a risk of this re-districting?
I really need help. A group of racoons have been going up onto top of my roof in California every night and pooping. There is a HUGE pile and not sure what to do. We have trees near our house and I think they use that to climb up there. I tried removing the poop and they still come back. My wife said to spray lysol on the poop pile and I did that and they keep coming back. What can I do. I don't want to trap them or hurt them. Just want them to stop pooping on my roof.
Walnut Creek sits at the intersection of two major commute corridors 680 and 24, making it a hub for workers heading to San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, and Sacramento. For the many residents who commute to jobs outside the city, a 26-cent increase means an additional $5 to $8 per fill-up, or roughly $250 to $400 per year per vehicle. In a two-car household, that’s real money.
Where do y'all go to pick fruit with kids? And what is your favorite fruit to pick?
Also, if you go to the walnut creek farmers market -- same question: favorite fruit vendor / favorite fruit?
Is ClassPass worth it in Walnut Creek?
I used it while living in Phoenix -TONS of studios participate. I’m moving to Walnut Creek and realized not many studios are on ClassPass. Does anyone have advice on whether or not it’s been a good experience to use in WC?
Hi everyone! Any recs for pediatrician at Kaiser WC?
I need to get my engagement and wedding rings resized (larger). They are both very simple rings, so I’m assuming any jeweler could do it!
Any recommendations for a locally owned jeweler in the downtown area? There are so many options it’s almost overwhelming. Thanks!
Hi all, I tried searching for a similar post and didn’t find anything so I hope it’s ok to ask my own question. I’m wondering what are some of the favorite singular food items you have found in this area that keep you coming back? Do you have a favorite pastry or sweet that you like to treat yourself to once in a while? Is there a sandwich you need to have at least once a month? Are there some special items that you discovered as a hidden gem? I want to know the places and the things that people seek out on the regular.
For my purposes I want to limit the scope of this question to Walnut Creek, Concord, or Pleasant Hill. I know there are lots of great things around the bay but I’m mostly interested in what I can find within a short drive of those three locations. Thanks for your help. I hope to try many new delicious things.
What are the rough temperature variations by area -- mostly asking about hotter days.
E.g. I'm most interested in the Larkey area. E.g. compared to the, say, Walnut Height area.
Or maybe put another way: are there areas that stay cooler. Are there areas that are noticeably hotter? If possible, by how much?
I realize this also might depend on time of day too.
Thanks in advance, I know this is kind of a tough question to answer.
