Oddly, I cannot find this article posted online. I wonder why....
Let's support our local teachers. 🍎📚 They shouldn't need to deal with this type of nonsense.
Walked into Ralph’s Coffee at Stanford Shopping Center, bought a drink, sat down, and opened my laptop. Literally two minutes later, a worker comes over and tells me I can’t stay "the whole day" on a laptop. They weren't closing for hours, and other people around me had laptops out completely unbothered.
I told the manager it was pretty rude to assume I was squatting when I just got there. His response? "I apologize, but I’m not going to give you a free drink."
The worst part I never asked for a free drink
Never going to this place again to spend 10 dollars on a coffee with such bad service
Edit: I literally just wanted to drink my coffee and quickly check something on my screen before heading out. I had somewhere to be 20 minutes later, so I wasn't setting up camp
If approved by a simple majority, Measure J will increase Palo Alto’s sales tax by 0.5% — or a half-cent — starting in April 2027. The tax is projected to generate $15.6 million annually for improvements, including electrical, plumbing, earthquake and accessibility upgrades, expanded green spaces, and new facilities.
I’m 40(m) and from the UK. I’ll be in Palo Alto Mon 5th Oct to Thu 8th Oct. My wife is here on business so I’m tagging along before we spend a few days in San Fran at the end of the week.
Am looking for recommendations on what to do Tuesday to Thursday. I’ll have a car so getting around is not a problem, and am open to pretty much any suggestion.
I’m a trampoline coach back home so if there are any serious trampoline clubs I can visit that would be great (not trampoline parks!)
Let me know what’s going on.
Voting 'no' seems like the right call for this election. It's an opportunity to force better governance for the city and school district. By voting 'no' can block the sale of Cubberly to the city, which was a pet project of the current school board president that signed off the the ridiculous union contract. Also, can let the city know they need to better serve residents before we give them more money for the general fund. Just my opinion. Would like to hear others.
This just shook our apartment

Growing up in Palo Alto.. there were always plenty of activists in the 70-80s fighting for the immediate removal of Sodium fluoride from the drinking water.. Has this continued? I would have thought by now the locals could see the detrimental effects, and the world strictly outlawing it in most countries. Just wondering where everyone stands currently.
