menlo park: Thanksgiving has past, but it's still autumn
- 12/02/16 09:31 AM
While autumn will officially be with us for another couple of weeks, Christmas decorations are popping up all over town. I figured I had best post one more picture of autumn before we say goodbye to my favorite season for another year.
The gorgeous tree in the first photo is in front of a house in Menlo Park, and is one of many that shrieked to me "take my picture" when I was out on tour this past Tuesday. Palo Alto residential streets are gorgeous with yellow Ginkgoes and red Liquid Ambers. The brilliant orange-red of Chinese Pistache trees is seen all over Los … (18 comments)

- 12/18/15 01:09 AM
Before I hunker down for more hours of business planning as I watch the sky darken and rain draw closer, I thought I'd share pictures of a few of the Christmas trees I especially enjoy, in San Francisco, in Menlo Park, and in Pacific Grove.
(tree at Old Saint Angela's Inn, Pacific Grove, CA)
(Tree of Hope, San Francisco City Hall. Decorations are origami cranes, with messages of hope)
(tree in Menlo Park, CA)
(one of numerous trees at the Embarcadero Center, San Francisco)
Wishing you all a dazzling, cheery day, whatever shape your day takes, one filled with beauty and light.

menlo park: How's the real estate market doing on the Peninsula and Silicon Valley?
- 10/24/11 04:18 PM
How's the real estate market doing on the Peninsula and in Silicon Valley?That's a common question, and people really want to know. The word is finally getting out that real estate really IS local. As you can see from the charts below, single-family homes are selling, the average days on market are not long, and they sell quite close to the asking price.
The Silicon Valley cities of Palo Alto, Mountain View, Sunnyvale and Cupertino are especially strong - high tech is growing. Things are a bit slower in the San Mateo County cities of Belmont, San Carlos, Redwood … (6 comments)

- 07/12/11 04:58 AM
Price points for 4-bedroom homes in the Silicon ValleyYesterday I was contacted by a referral partner whose client will be relocating to the Mountain View - Palo Alto area of California -- in other words, to the Silicon Valley.

- 04/28/10 02:56 AM
When hiking along the trails in some of our steep canyons, one occasionally rounds the bend and comes across a remnant of the past that makes you pause and reflect for a moment. This old car is right off the Peter's Loop Trail in Portola Redwoods State Park in San Mateo County. So close to the urban areas of the Peninsula like Palo Alto, Menlo Park, and Redwood City, yet eons away in feel. … (15 comments)
