Pleasanton Downtown Association

Super cute set up. Too bad the store owners are rude. The day that we went the merchants were having a sidewalk opening. One store gave us a card to fill out if we stopped by each merchants booth on this card. In turn your name would be put in a drawing. We thought this was a great idea as we were really interested in seeing all the stores and the unique items they had for sale. Unfortunaly the merchants were less than thrilled to have customers come to thier booths and even complained when we asked them to mark the card that needed to be filled out. They acted like it was an incionvienece, yet they were the ones that came up with the program. After visiting several stores and being treated rudely we left. We recently moved to California and were considering moving to Pleasanton. After our experience today we are no longer considering it.
I will say that there is one coffe shop that was very friendly, bit kne store is not enough to keep us coming back. If it wasn’t for the coffee shop I’d give it zero stars.

Dear D-​Town P-​Town,
I am in like with you, not love, like. I like that you have a year round Farmers Market. I like that you are super cute. I like that you have some decent shops. Basically, I like you during the day because at night you are quite boring. Around 8 – 830 you start to show signs that it is sleepy time and everything starts to close.
Variety doesn’t seem to be the theme round these parts. Not sure how many places really need to serve some variation of Italian food but apparently Main St. requires 11+ restaurants within walking distance. The main drag restaurant break down is about 70% Italian, 20% Mexican, and the remaining 10% representing other cultures. Snores, yawns and I just nodded off thinking about it.
