San Jose/Silicon Valley : Our Readers
The saying is "Arts follows wealth?" If that's so, then San Jose/
Silicon Valley are doing their fair share.
Since our programs provide education and entertainment to the theatre
and concert goers that who live and work in such areas as Saratoga,
Palo Alto, Portola Valley, Atherton, Cupertino, Mountain View, San Francisco
and other similar little spots, then I'd say we're doin' OK.
Pretty impressive Income wouldn't you say? http://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/home.htm http://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2008/jul/wk3/art05.htm
Hope this sheds more light on what San Jose/Silicon Valley have to
offer. People think this place is all still orchards. It is. APPLE - orchards!
San Jose/Silicon Valley : The little town that could
Located in the heart of the Silicon Valley, San Jose defines the area
that surrounds it. The population is greater than that of San
Francisco, making this the eleventh largest city in the U.S. Once an
agricultural stronghold, San Jose has become a mecca for arts and
culture as well as a rapidly growing center for technology. The
hands-on Tech Museum of Innovation is a popular illustration of the art
of technology. The downtown art galleries and arts organization keep
their doors open late the third Thursday of every month. This provides
the opportunity for patrons and enthusiasts to meet the talents who are
responsible for the extraordinary works of art. Since San Jose is one
of the wealthiest areas in California, visitors are assured that
excellent shopping and fine dining are within close reach. After
picking up a cashmere sweater at Smith Alder or some mountain climbing
gear at Upstream Fly Fish, enjoy an elegant dinner at the charming
French country bistro Restaurant Sent Sovi or at the lovely White Rock
Caf. Visit Santa Row, San Jose's Premier living and shopping area.
