BigKidD, I remember there being a thread of Redwood City awhile ago. Thanks for that! Your thread is part of what inspired me to want to check the city out. It really has a lot of nice, older buildings. And I didn't know that about the building in Palo Alto, what a shame. They city seems to have done a good job with adapting old buildings to new uses. I agree and hope that they put something interesting in its place.
to sgoet, I did get a picture of the Palo Alto train station, which has an art deco style to it, but, it didn't come out very well.
The part of Santa Clara I took pictures of wasn't actually near the train station. It was by Great America, though there is a VTA light rail station nearby. So, I didn't stop at Santa Clara's station.
