Maybe you would like to block out a neighbor’s second story window, or screen the gaps in an old fence, either way you need get the job done. Shrubs and trees can seem like a foreign language sometimes, and choosing the right plant initially will save time, and money.

We just got this message from a resident near West Street & Joyce Drive in Concord, which is off Clayton Road….
FYI about 10 minutes ago a male black, about 25 years old, 5’7″ wearing a black and white checked long sleeve shirt, black jeans and a black backpack came to my door. I did not open it for him. I looked out my front window and told him “no, I am not interested”. He was very aggressive and yelling at me to open the door because he just wanted to ask me one question.
When I said no he left my street yelling profanities. I called Concrod PD. Just a warning to your readers that this guy is out there right now and not a safe person to open your door for.
Thanks for the heads up!
UPDATE, 1:45pm: The man came back and was picked up by a white van full of other people (probably selling magazines door-to-door). The plate on the white van started with 6HDK.
There’s a protest at Bank of America in the Sunvalley Mall parking lot.
About 25 people were inside the business, and there were reports of one person being hit, but so far, no injuries have been reported.
The Concord Police arrived and are working with the protesters to agree on a protest location outside the business.
UPDATE: About 10 people left, there are now only 15 people protesting outside.
Thanks to “Radar” for the photo, which was taken outside of BofA!

Talk about it….
