What’s Going On at Baja Fresh in Walnut Creek

Here are some pictures from today of what used to be the building attached to Baja Fresh and Kentucy Fried Chicken in Walnut Creek, California.

The owner of the property, Hall Equities Group, is redeveloping the property at the corner of S. California and Olympic Boulevard. By demolishing the old Warehouse Video store and golf shop, the developer is making room for two new office and retail buildings on the site.

The development is designed with pedestrian access in mind. As well, LCA Architects wanted to expose as much of the property to traffic on Olympic Boulevard as possible.

The property borders Alma Park. Alma Park is Walnut Creek’s “hidden park” located between Olympic Boulevard and Botelho Avenue. It is bounded on three sides by the Ivy Hills Apartments, Regent on the Park Condominiums, and Montecito Condominiums.

Part of the plan is to broaden the entrance to Alma Park in Walnut Creek. Hall Equities owns the property adjacent to Alma Park at 1855 Olympic Boulevard. In a land swap, Hall Equities traded a portion of the 1855 Olympic property for a small portion of Alma Park to make room for the new buildings. The redesigned entrance to Alma Park will enhance views into the park.

The City of Walnut Creek website has information relating to the project including architectural renderings, landscape drawings, and views from Alma Park.

During the redevelopment process Baja Fresh is planning to remain open.

A Walk in Walnut Creek

This morning I walked downtown to Starbucks for coffee. The cool morning air and the quiet allowed me to think and observe as I walked through the center of the city of Walnut Creek.

When you walk by yourself before the hustle and bustle of the day it is amazing what you notice.

Comings …

Walking past the new Cheesecake Factory I realized what a good decision was made by the city leadership to bring Cheesecake Factory to Walnut Creek. As I idled past the outdoor seating, men were spraying down the patio. The chairs were stacked on the tables. The ground was dark with the water on the stone patio.

The fountains in front of the Cheesecake Factory were babbling as water cascaded down their sides. The flame at the top danced in the wind.

It reminded me of Disneyland before the crowds arrive. Things are still fresh. The cafes are clean before the lunch crowds. It is as if you are walking into an alternate reality where messes aren’t made and people always get along.

I also noticed that the old Bombay store had a sign announcing that it had been leased. That must make the propertyowners very happy.

Of course, Neiman Marcus is still in process of coming to the old David M. Bryan location.

and Goings

The Chocolate Cafe is now closed. It must be hard to compete with a national coffee chain and a national dessert restaurant a block away even though you are 30 yards from the theater’ entrance.

Johnny Rockets’ old store is still closed on Mt. Diablo Boulevard. The tables and chairs are still inside but the sign out front has been removed.

A banner hanging from the Longs’ Drug store welcomed Elephant Pharmacy customers. The Elephant Pharmacy filed bankruptcy a few months ago, and has likely vacated their store.

Character of a City

While the shops and retailers in downtown Walnut Creek may change with time, the character of Walnut Creek does not have to change.

The character of a city is shaped by the character of the people that choose to live in a city, more than the character of the retailers in that city.

As long as honest, hard working, family loving, school supporting, community focused people continue to call Walnut Creek “home”, we won’t have to worry about Walnut Creek changing from the place we have come to love.

I think I will continue my Saturday morning walks, if only to get a better sense of the city I call “Home”.
