There's a JC Penny here and like walking around bring back old memories of stores I grew up with with Spenser, Sweet Factory store for sour patch kids candy, Hallmark, and life uniforms. I felt their food court had a strange layout as on first floor all their sweets where there and 2 main food places sushi and newly open Mexican in the mall. I know outside has the yummy BJs and Fusion Buffet. Yes, nice mall to visit and they have a Macys here with the perfume dept working the floor very hard. Perfume is quite expensive!

Diablo Blvd. between First Street and Oak Hill Road, near Highway 24, and across from the Lafayette Public Library and Lafayette Police Station. The current anchor tenant is Whole Foods, which brings in a LOT of traffic and customers, making parking a bit more difficult than before. On the other end of the shopping center is the other anchor tenant, Safeway. With two grocery stores in this plaza, you can stock up! McCaulou's is mid-way between the two grocery stores and is a popular local department store.

The brown slatted architecture and design of Virginia Hills Shopping Center remind me of Countrywood Shopping Center in Walnut Creek: www.tinyurl.com/y73y9ntp That must have been the building style of the time. And for that reason, I have enjoyed stopping by here when visiting friends who live nearby. I've hung out outside chatting in the shade in front of Starbucks, which doesn't seem to have a rush. The main tenants are Safeway, on one end of the center, and CVS right in the middle of the center. Other tenants are tucked under the awning and span the length of the shopping center. Crystal Cleaners seems to have been in this location forever!

Just to correct the description of the shopping center as being built in 1979, that is incorrect. I…read morestarted working at that Safeway in 1973 and it was an old building then. The Chevron was on the corner. The rest of the strip mall was probably built prior to 1979. I worked there at Safeway through the entire construction. That Safeway Store number was 720, that number meant that it was a very old store. During the time that the strip mall was being built Safeway kicked out the front and side of the building making it much larger. At that point they gave the store a new number. It was 720 and they added a 9 to the front of the store number and eliminated the zero at the end making the new store number 972 which at that time reflected a much newer building.

It's a tiny shopping center located off of Gregory lane right between the Contra Costa Canal trail and the nearby Zio Fraedo's restaurant. There are two main reasons why I frequent this Plaza: 1) La Mordida Mexican restaurant And 2) Mirage Nails I'm completely addicted to La Mordida! I started coming here over a year ago and it has quickly become my favorite hole in the wall Mexican spot! Recently, I discovered Mirage Nails next door and have started coming here to get my nails done. It's the perfect combo, right?! Pamper myself with a mani and then right after, pamper myself with some Mexican goodness. Yep... this is why I can't stay away from Sandalwood! I'll admit that I haven't visited any of the other businesses in this plaza quite yet, but there really isn't too much else going on in there. There's a bike shop across the way that's been for quite sometimes. There's also a fitness center, a yoga place, a day spa, and a liquor store. Not sure if I'll be visiting any of these businesses anytime soon, but I'm sure I'll end up hitting up a few of them in the future since I come to this shopping center about once a week or so. There's always parking available in their parking lot since this a plaza that is far less frequented than many others in the neighborhood. However, parking can be tight since the lot is small. All in all, it's a nice local shopping center with a great Mexican restaurant and a nice nail salon.
