    Target Walnut Creek needs to do more about their underground lot. I see some suspicious people lingering down there.

      What were you told when you reported these suspicious people to the police?

    A lot of effort to steal a 20 yr old Civic only to dump it next to the police station a block away. Fishy…

    I refuse to shop at Target with their woke ideology, support of LGBQEFXYZMNOPHIJK. Their are greedy and they absolutely do not care about older baby boomer generation. I havent stepped foot in a Target store for over 3 years.

      Adios Boomer! You’re on the way out.

        I KNOW It Dave! Stop by TIFA & change your pace and have a cold one! Hot Summer nites are tough in WC even on Locust, never had issues in Gatage down the street, but not undergrad next to Teatro on Locust and California exit. Hope less crime where we all enjoy shopping, hope she gets her Hinda back!

      LOL what? I guess you’ve been living under a rock for the last eight months. Target has stopped all DEI hires and advertisements. They also donated $1M to Drumpf’s inauguration. They’re Big MAGA.

        Omg why that’s bad for the citizens that pays taxes

      I am a Baby Boomer and I am thankful that your narrow- minded bigoted thinking does not represent many of us.

      My kids shop there, nice to know that YOU won’t be around to influence them.

    No where is safe in Walnut Creek, robbery at the Rossmoor Safeway and carjackings at Target. You are getting what you’ve voted for.

    I love that Target supports the gay community.

  7. Tomas on Aug 11, 2025 at 10:57 am

    We voted for this and no doubt will continue. As far as Target supporting any community that is their business and I can choose to avoid them. Problem solved.

  8. Jennifer on Aug 11, 2025 at 1:45 pm

    I hope she’s okay. I’m glad she wasn’t hurt.

    • DaveH on Aug 12, 2025 at 1:54 pm

      Thx Jennifer she suffered this trauma and loss how did she get home?

    Target is really sketch, especially at night. So is Broadway Plaza.
