Ready for the Season?
The folks at Assistance Way Side Thrift Shop in Lafayette's La Fiesta Square always seem to have a seasonal event to get you in the mood for what is coming next. This time it's "Thanksgiving and Skiing in the Sierra," with hand-picked merchandise to complement both. As to the latter, I admire the organization's optimism.
Musical Chairs
There seems to be a lot of movement going on in Lamorinda these days.
Gymboree is moving into new digs at 3450 Mt. Diablo Blvd., in front of Merrill Gardens, after five years in its current quarters. You can attend the ribbon cutting this Thursday, Nov. 3, at 5pm.
As we reported in our last issue, Home Care Assistance will have its ribbon cutting Thursday, November 10, from 4 to 6pm at 3518 Mt. Diablo Blvd., and the folks there are very excited about it. You are welcome to drop in for a look.
The Moraga UPS Store in the Moraga Shopping Center has finally made its long-awaited move to larger quarters around the corner in Suite C, next to the CVS drugstore. Hopefully, the move will ease the threat to its staff of being buried under a stack of boxes or a mountain of plastic "peanuts" if the Big One were to hit at the end of the work day, always a worry at its cramped former location.
Speaking of the Moraga Shopping Center, word is that talks are continuing with two restaurateurs who are considering moving into the former Terzetto's space in the same complex. Eager locals who have lost too many of their casual dining options recently are watching and waiting.
Then, of course, there is the City of Lafayette's impending move to new quarters yet to be found (see story on page A2). If you happen to have about 10,000 square feet of office space with 60 parking spaces around it for lease near downtown, by all means give City Manager Steve Falk a call. He would dearly love to hear from you.
