Week In Review: What's In A Name? Murderers Creek
Did you miss some of the stories from Pleasant Hill Patch earlier in the week?

Murderers Creek is just a trickle at this time of year along Withers Avenue. On our video, you can achieve some calm, listening to the gentle stream … unless you reflect on the legend of how a Native American was found hanging from a tree there in Gold Rush days …
We reviewed some of the area's salient barbecue joints, and Back Forty Texas Barbecue in Pleasant Hill got a mention, you bet.
A man in his seventies was screaming at the Original Pancake House on Contra Costa Boulevard. Perhaps he was unhappy with the service or just his lot in life. He was asked to leave, and police had to be called. And that means it wound up in the Pleasant Hill police log.
