Santa Clara is an extremely haunted are. I lived across the street on Bassett for several years and…read morenot only was my house haunted it was a scary experience going through the grounds of Agnews. After WW2 many scientists came to the Bay Area with full amnesty. Many were specialists in rockets and many were in mental "health" under the now declassified Project Paperclip. My girlfriend used to walk through there and here music coming from the maintenance area with no one around. At night steam would come up through the sewer grates (no other place in Santa Clara did that). Now after most of it closed, the county opened up a homeless shelter there. and of course they put it in the building with all the round rooms. The doors used to fly open, setting off the fire alarms.You would hear screams at night and if you sat outside, you could see literally see phantom beings running left and right in the abandoned buildings. And our building had swastikas embedded in the concrete steps of the sanitarium. I really want to know what the employees have seen and what the homeowners next door are experiencing

Went for a jog here while in the area, and took some time to explore the park and the historical…read morebuildings of Oracle... auditorium, mansion (Agnews State Hospital superintendent's residence), clocktower (formerly the treatment building), and visitor center. The info center had plenty to share about the history of Agnews as a state hospital for the mentally ill, destroyed in the 1906 earthquake killing 106 patients and 11 staff members, rebuilt and reopened 5 years later, and becoming the first modern psychiatric hospital in California. You can't enter the buildings (except the mansion and auditorium by reservation), but there's sufficient signage near each of the buildings, noting its history, to educate visitors. And there are beautiful trees and well maintained grassy fields with a few picnic tables and benches on site. Still, access to this park is very limited, as it's the location of the Oracle Santa Clara campus. Not the ideal park due to its inconveniences and lack of offerings, but still cool to learn a bit about its history, or just a simple peaceful spot for picnicking.

Not to be sappy and cheesy but I am humbled to say that I am a very proud Air Force girlfriend :) It's crazy because you may just be passing by Moffett Field casually when you are driving the freeway. However, actually being on the Field itself is just a whole new experience. You will honestly never look at it the same during your casual drive, (in an AMAZING great way) once you experience being out on the Field. So many of the Airmen/women were very nice, respectful, and very informative with the process of joining the branch. They all definitely treat each other like family whether you are a new or old member. It's funny in a great way how many of them try to convince you to join Air Force as well haha! It truly was an honor being able to be out on the field and meet many Airmen/women who are serving our country. It makes me so happy knowing my boyfriend is following his dreams and now a part of such a strong/passionate branch. Shoutout and many thanks to them all for serving our country.

Located in heart of Silicon Valley, Moffett Field is a catchall for a variety of business and…read moregovernment facilities. Its more notable residents are NASA Ames, Moffett Federal Airfield, The Moffett Field Historical Society, and a burgeoning Google presence. The field was founded in 1931 when residents of Santa Clara Country raised just under a half a million dollars to purchase the farmland to then sell it to the U.S. Government for the princely sum of $1 dollar in order to build what was then known as NAS Sunnyvale in 1933. The US navy wanted to use the base for Airship operations. Upon the death of Rear Admiral William A. Moffett, who was a huge proponent of Airship operations, the base was changed to NAS Moffett Field on 1 September 1933. To support airship operations the massive Hanger One was built. The Hanger which at the time was one of the largest freestanding building in the world covered a whopping 8 acres. After the tragic los of the Airship USS Macon, the navy turned control over the base to the US Army. Following WWII the navy regained control of the base and during the Cold War was one of the primary West Coast bases for anti submarine aircraft such as the P-2V and the P-3 Orion. In 1939 NACA the precursor to NASA opened up research facilities on the base including the ARC Unitary Plan Wind Tunnel, and the National Full-Scale Aerodynamics Complex. Following the military drawdown during the post Cold War period the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) identified the base as unneeded and thus was decommissioned and turned over to NASA) The base now is run by NASA and they have actively rented out space to a variety of companies like Google etc. Lockheed martin Space Systems is collocated on the base as well as the 129th Air national Guard Squadron. There is also housing and other projects. In a nod to its Navy roots a Navy Commissary remains on the site and is open. Visitors are allowed on base with government issued ID if they have business there. In addition there is a museum on site that you can visit as well. Its hours are limited so check the website for more information. Also as a note traffic laws are STRICTLY enforced by the NASA police and that goes for bikes and vehicles so behave yourselves.

We had the best experience and one that I'll never forget. Parking is crazy here. We came nearly 3 hours early, which is advisable if you are tailgating or want to go to the team store or museum. There's lots to do before the game starts. We had premium parking which was nice. We were able to park really close to the stadium. I have joint issues due to Crohn's disease, so it hurts to walk. The close parking really paid off, especially at the end of the game, when I was in the most pain. These tickets were purchased as a birthday present for me from my Husband. He bought United Globe Seats in Section C137. These seats were amazing. We didn't know what all the perks were with the United Globe Club, until I did some research on the 49ers webpage and App. The seats were padded and so comfortable. We were in the lower level area right between the 40 and 50-yard line. We were on the side of the stadium that gets the most shade. We also had access to the United Global Club, where all the food, snacks and beverages are included with our tickets. Alcohol was not free, though. Before the game they had a ceremony with former elite football players like Joe Montana and many others. That was a real treat. We did not expect that. During half-time, they inducted Keena Turner #58, into their 49ers football Hall of Fame. It was a cool ceremony to watch. All the fans around us were awesome. He had a lot of fun with the people sitting next to us. It's a really amazing lively environment and I loved every second of it. Leaving wasn't too awful. It did take a bit of time getting out of the stadium parking but they had the local police helping with everyone exiting by blocking off certain streets and making them accessible to all the fans leaving the stadium. The signage getting to and leaving the stadium was extremely helpful. They have a pretty good system in place here. I would love to return in the future for another game. Now that I have experienced the United Globe Club,that's the only area I want to sit in, LOL. I know the seats were pricey. But I think they were worth every penny. The 49ers won that game. It was a bit iffy in the 4th quarter but we pulled through. Go Niners!!

The arena is super easy to access once inside but I absolutely hate the tailgate set up. The arena parking lot is not that large so they rent out and have a lot of off site parking lots. I don't mind the parking but when navigating this arena for the first time it can be a bit complicated. At least I know for next time. FYI, depending on the day and time of the game, there's a huge chance you may have to sit in direct sun. There is absolutely no shade. The seating is typical of most stadiums and a little snug but it was so worth it to watch my broncos.

It has a fountain around which there are shrubs of different colored roses. So many people were sitting around- sitting, talking. The surprising thing was people were actually sitting and talking - no phones. The roses smelled nice, I sat down for a bit and chased my toddler around. The only picture I took was of the fountain. The place was so mesmerizing I forgot about the phone. My friend told me she also brings picnics here and I thought that was a wonderful idea. I will try it another time. But this place is really incredible. They don't allow professional photography here but you are welcome to take your own pictures. Pets are also not allowed here. Parking is easy as it's a neighborhood and you can find spots around. Highly recommend for some quiet reflective time or when you just want to take a break from screens. This place will make you forget about your phone and reels.

Historical Depot…read more This depot was built in 1877 and is a historical landmark connecting San Francisco with to Santa Clara County by railroad. It is next to the Agnew hospital built in 1885 as a center for both psychiatric and medical care. Both the depot and hospital are historical landmarks. Some people thought Ken Keasy worked in the hospital and was inspired by his experiences there to write One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest. Unfortunately this is not true. Actually, he was worked as a nurse's aide in the psychiatric ward of the Menlo Park Veteran's Hospital. The depot is a little run down. It might be worth a quick trip for history buffs to see the building and read the plaque.
