Woohoo!!! Been waiting for one in Walnut Creek forever... it's the perfect place to put one... For every city in Contra Costa County, with the exceptions of San Ramon and Antioch (possibly coincidentally, the two nearest In-n-Out Burger's), Walnut Creek is no more than 25 minutes away (or an hour on Friday afternoons). Emeryville is an hour at least when you count traffic, and Palo Alto is 90-120 minutes away. Plus there's no parking in Palo Alto.
My only questions are: where will it be? There's only two or three possibilities - Broadway Plaza (why - a big black store there, with huge black tarps covering the windows, so no one can see in. why not - The store is supposedly called Walnut Creek... if it was in Broadway, it'd be Walnut Creek - Broadway Plaza), In the lot where the old Festival Cinemas used to be (why - decently large lot,
something being built, not part of Broadway. why not - not enough nearby parking, not that high traffic a location), and in the building complex with the new theater (if THAT ever opens

. why - will soon be high traffic area, parking, not in Broadway. why not - every building there is UGLY as sin, and fairly small).
In the end though, I don't really care where it is, as long as it opens. The other question is
when. I know 2003... but a slightly better time frame would be nice.
I think I might get a job there... maybe as a Mac Genius or something.
