Today's riddle: What did one strawberry say to the other strawberry? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Proposed gun shop, indoor firing range sparks debate in Walnut Creek (fresnobee.com) — A proposed Elite Armory gun shop and nine-lane indoor firing range on North Main Street is stirring strong debate in Walnut Creek over safety, neighborhood fit, and design. Residents are split between concerns about proximity to homes and schools and arguments that a local range would improve gun safety training. The project has cleared design review but still awaits a Planning Commission hearing.
• Meet Proud Mary, Rascal, Dakota, Gina and Joey: East Bay pets of the week (eastbaytimes.com) — Cat lovers in Walnut Creek can now meet adoptable kitties from Community Concern for Cats at weekend events at Pet Food Express and at their regular Newell Avenue location, with Gina among the featured felines. The roundup also spotlights several adoptable dogs and cats at shelters in Oakland, Alameda, and Richmond, giving East Bay residents multiple options to find a new furry family member.
• Why this Bay Area business is closing after 101 years (fresnobee.com) — A beloved Lafayette bike shop is closing after 101 years, but its owner is transferring customers' free lifetime tune-ups to a mom-and-pop shop in Walnut Creek so the perk lives on. The closure stems from a building sale and the owner's decision to retire, not from online competition. Loyal riders are stopping by for final repairs and goodbyes.
