It’s called Beyond the Creek, and its publisher, Adam Silverman, is someone like a lot of us who spends time in downtown, takes note of what’s new and what’s changing and thinks it is all pretty interesting. Silverman wants to share those observations–and photos–and get a dialogue going.

According to the site’s About page, “Beyond the Creek covers the latest news and happenings in Walnut Creek, Lafayette and surrounding neighborhoods, with a focus on restaurants, shopping, real estate and general daily life observations.”

Already, he’s got some fun scoops: like how CU Sushi on Locust, my son’s favorite dining spot, is becoming one hip downtown place to go; or how Target is cracking down on people who park in its lot on Sundays, just to head to the nearby Farmers Market.
