ACI Relocates to Lafayette
3732 Mt. Diablo Blvd, Suite 395, Lafayette, www.acihoa.com 283-4900 x225
Owner and local resident, Caroline McCormick, recently relocated her business, Association Communications, Inc. (ACI), to Lafayette. “I relocated to Lafayette because I grew up in Moraga and moved back to the area from Clayton when I started a family,” says McCormick, “I have two boys who attend Del Rey in 1st and 3rd grades. I love the strong sense of community and dedication to education that Lamorinda offers. After moving my family to Orinda, I had the opportunity to relocate my business to Lafayette. Can't beat the commute, the freeway is easily accessible, and Lafayette offers a nice downtown environment.” ACI has been providing management services to Homeowners Associations since 1992, serving Contra Costa, Solano and Alameda counties. ACI will be having an open house Friday, March 20th from 3-6 p.m. and would like to extend an invitation to the community to learn more about what ACI can offer to Homeowners Associations.
Petar’s Gets a Facelift
2 Lafayette Cir, Lafayette, petars.com 284-7117
Petar’s Restaurant in Lafayette has undergone many transformations since opening in 1954. Recently Petar’s has reinvented itself again with a facelift to the main dining room that includes a new bar and new menus. The old lounge hasn’t changed and patrons still enjoy the dark intimacy, congenial atmosphere and comfort food it offers. During the lunch and dinner hours Petar’s caters to all ages and types of diners, but around 9:00 p.m. Wed- Saturdays, Petar’s throws off its conservative mantle and guests get ready to kick up their heels. The new bar opens for business and headliner, “Diamond” Dave Hosley greets the crowd. Dave Hosley, who always performed in the tight fitting lounge, is now stationed in the larger new bar area where he can really let loose his signature style. This is the place where all generations from the young hip hoppers to baby boomers and beyond can enjoy some good clean fun. In addition to the new bar, the menu has undergone a transformation. There is more variety in selection, size and price of entrees. Tuesday evenings from 7:00 to 9:00 PM you’ll find Irish songstress Sinead Healy performing her haunting melodies in the old lounge area. To make the mood complete Petar’s offers a special Irish Stew, available for dinner. Tuesday nights after 9:00 PM is “college night” with $2.00 Coronas and a disc jockey, also named Dave, spinning tunes. The Rhythm Doctors round out the weekly entertainment on Sunday evenings, singing the blues.
