    Can we sign someone else up to get the flash alert?

      Hey, Andrew, sure – as long as we know they want to get our alerts as they do come at all hours. We don’t want to wake up the baby!

    Welcome to the ‘new’ Walnut Creek…..and I’m sorry to predict, but it’s only going to get worse. Panhandlers on one corner, crooks on the other. City has sure changed in just the last five years alone. And not for the good. Despite hundreds of millions of dollars being spent on glitzi shopping and housing on one end, somehow the town also also seems to be very welcoming of all the grunge to flood in at the other end of things.
