| | The nickname tipped from local in-joke to genuine trend this week, with SFist and KRON4 both picking it up. Merch from local newsletter Walnut Creek Spotlight helped push it over. Not everyone is sold. | | | A roof fire tore through the Locust St restaurant Wednesday morning. Eight engines, more than 30 firefighters, no injuries. Owner Dave Bowie calls the damage devastating but says he will rebuild. | | | Elite Armory wants a nine-lane indoor range at 2615 N Main. The city logged 101 emails: 54% opposed, 44% in support.

That hearing has not been scheduled. If residents want a say, that is the meeting to watch. | It is a zoning change on one 2.4-acre parcel across from BART, not a citywide housing policy. Voters decide November 3. | Heads up. Expect hazard tape and sidewalk disruption around 1632 Locust St following Wednesday's fire. Worth knowing if you are walking to City Hall or the Lesher.
