Your Own Photo Tour
Would you like have your own photo tour? That's entirely possible. Just send me the photos you want to see, and I'll show you how to create and edit your own tour. It should be a geek's tour, though.

The Stanford Theatre is a movie theater in downtown Palo Alto, on University Ave. It plays Classic Movies rather than the latest blockbusters.

It was in deep financial trouble some time back and about to go bankrupt, when one of the Hewlett Packard heirs, David Packard stepped in. David Packard is the son of Dave Packard. He bought the theater, restored it to its original (overboarding) beauty, and gave Palo Alto back a landmark place. The theater has an organ that pops up out of the floor before a show (and goes back in), and the multi-million dollar worth savior of the theater is said to occassionally play that organ. Long live eccentricity!
