Not ONE of my Mexico City relatives have ever heard of Cinco de Mayo. They claim that not ONE true-blooded Mexican does Cinco de Mayo. Hah ! What do THEY know.
Rossmoor Walnut Creekers could teach them a thing, or, two.

Well it looks like the restaurant in Rossmoor will be opening middle of March. This past Saturday there was a hiring fair for Creekside Grill. Stan Gedeon, owner of Corporate Cuisine, Inc. was interviewing for wait staff, bus staff, bartenders, and more. The former Chef of Bing Crosby’s, an upscale restaurant in Walnut Creek that went belly up, will be the executive chef. Jose Suis Campos who was born in Walnut Creek and formerly worked at Auberge du Soleil in Napa, Scott’s Seafood and Vic Stewart’s in Walnut Creek will bring his version of the New American cuisine to Rossmoor. The Grill will be open for breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week and at the Bar there will be smaller fare and snacks. What an improvement this should be! Trust me, I will be at the opening and take videos for the world to see.

BestBuy Rossmoor
28/Feb/2011 14:37
I cater to Rossmoor clients who fall totally in the Rossmoor BestBuy category: if it is a bestbuy, bingo, they want in – the won’y even look at a home that’s not 100% a Rossmoor BestBuy. Yes, I do get up early every morning, yes, my life is interesting. I just found a Top Deal retirement home for a sprightly couple from South Africa. It was a San Franciscan model for $129,000! They are thrilled and looking forward to enjoying many active retirement years in Walnut Creek.
The new Gala for Creekside social building will be April 8th. The restaurant and bar should start business in March. Yes, there will be a shuttle service: ahem, let’s just say that after I have a good time at a bar I’m smart enough to rely on a designated driver to get me right to my front door.. Also, some great meeting rooms. Talk about jazzing up the Rossmoor Retirement Community!
BUSES, FREE BUSES to BART, Broadway Plaza, Whole Foods, TJ and much more!
What a top deal if you don’t want to drive or can’t! There are a number of trips daily. This is great because there are still a lot of people who work in San Francisco, Oakland etc. and take BART to work. Now they don’t have to drive there, but take the bus!!! There is Para-transit Bus service for people who are in wheelchairs. All of this is FREE for Rossmoor Walnut Creekresidents.
