Tri-Valley Views, Starbucks, and Passatempo Park
Here are a few quick updates for residents of Dublin:
- Tri-Valley Views – the Pleasanton Weekly will be starting a new bi-monthly publication called Tri-Valley Views. The first issue will be published in Sep-08 with advertisements and editorial content. Every issue of Tri-Valley Views will have stories and columns specifically about our great hometown of Dublin. This is terrific news given that most of our area newspapers have very few stories about Dublin.
- Starbucks – the Seattle-based coffee giant recently announced that they will be closing 600 stores throughout the United States. The good news is that none of the three Dublin locations will be closed. Please click here for a complete list of the U.S. Starbucks locations being closed this summer.
- Passatempo Park – as mentioned in yesterday’s entry, the 5-acre Passatempo Park will be constructed next to Kolb Elementary school as part of the Sorrento East community. The City of Dublin will most likely start the design for Passatempo Park once the models at Sorrento East are open so that prospective buyers will have the opportunity to provide input into the process.
Please check back for more details regarding Tri-Valley Views and Passatempo Park.

john,
I know this is unrelated to the post, but with the recent so. cal earthquake, I thought you might want to highlight the city of dublin's disaster preparedness website. It's a great resource for us to prepare for the 'big one'

Hi Janice – thank you for highlighting this fantastic resource. A “City of Dublin Preparedness Website” link has been added to the Around Dublin “Useful References” section (along the right side of the screen).
Thx, John Z.

Hi John,
Thank you for posting the good news about Starbucks not closing any of its Dublin stores. I hope retailers who are looking for new store locations (e.g. Fresh & Easy) will take note of this as an indicator of Dublin’s economic potential.
