Palo Alto,
CA

Christine M. writes: I don't think I've ever reviewed a clothing store. For that matter, I don't particularly fancy myself a J-Crew kind of person. And - let's be honest - I realize that writing a review for a store... at a mall... is hardly going to warrant any real…

Sunken Diamond - Stanford Baseball
Nelson Road
Stanford,
CA
94305
Geoff D. writes: Sunken Diamond is one of the world's great places to watch baseball.
For serious fans, the reserved seats along the infield are more spacious and closer to the action than you'll find at a pro ball game. And though this appears to be an off-year,…

Galvez Street and Campus Drive
Stanford,
CA
94305
kim n. writes: Great little amphitheatre which I wish they'd use for more current concerts. Saw Big Bad Voodoo Daddy a few years back play before 4th of July. Pasking is a pain the way it's organized for events but it's quite a nice venue and is seemingly…

Palo Alto,
CA
94304
Da P. J. writes: Nothing to rave about, and nothing to complain about.
This branch is nice because it's located at the old Stanford barn. It's really spacious inside, so you don't feel like all the other customers can read over your shoulder.
That's the other thing:…
Pottery Barn
800 Stanford Shopping Center
Palo Alto,
CA

Palo Alto,
CA
94304
Ginni S. writes: For some reason, this Baby Gap feels so much cozier than the other Baby Gap stores. It is in this store that I discovered that Baby Gap has thicker brown shopping bags instead of the standard Gap shopping bags. Everything here is cute and adorable.…

83 Stanford Shoppng Ctr
Palo Alto,
CA
94304

Palo Alto,
CA

Orchard Supply Hardware
5130 Mowry Ave
Fremont,
CA
94538
Steven N. writes: I like the fact that this OSH isn't crowded on weekdays when I go in. The other side of that coin is that they don't have someone at the commercial services checkout counter fulltime and sometimes I have to wait in line to buy the things I need.

Devils Workshop
37356 Niles Blvd
Fremont,
CA
94536
Rob M. writes: Possibly the oddest shop you'd find in Fremont but then it's in the Niles district so there you go. How to describe? Part biker paraphenalia, part head shop, part pronography store, part novelty store. Not a place to take your religious friends or…
