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.

There so many seasoned and new diverse small business owners here in the heart of Japantown. Classic Loot, Zonkey, Roy's, Santo Market, Taqueria Corona, Minato, Hukilau, Kazoo are among my families favorites. We have also enjoyed and welcomed new businesses too like Banne (yummy sourdough) and Furbaby Fancy petgrooming (the most posh and elite pet grooming experience) into our rotation as well! I should have just listed all the businesses here! So proud of the businesses that contribute to our community!

Maybe it's due to being after Memorial Day or because most of them were night time dinner service only restaurants. Either way it's much cleaner than Little Tokyo in LA and with less jump scares and trash everywhere. Easier to find parking and more affordable, in a sense, than Japan Town SF. Stopped by the Japanese grocery store and Santo Market while we were here. Fun to kill a couple of hours, I suppose. I just gotta come back here again when more things are open !

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.

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.

It was surprisingly easy to find our section and seats, which made the whole experience even smoother. Once we got to our seats, the views were awesome -- definitely one of those moments where you just stop and take it all in. The drinks were a little pricey, but that's pretty expected at a huge event like the Super Bowl. On the plus side, the food was actually really good, which made up for it. Overall, it was such a fun experience and an unforgettable atmosphere. Definitely a game I'll never forget!

From the outside, the place looks like a modern fortress built for football royalty steel, glass, banners snapping in the wind. Fans in scarlet jerseys circle the stadium like prospectors chasing gold, laughing, grilling, chanting "Niners! Niners!" It's part tailgate, part carnival, part time machine back to Montana, Rice, and the glory days history humming in every step, rhyme in every chime, red and gold bold. Step inside and BOOM the lights hit you like a halftime drumline to the chest. The field glows emerald bright while the stands explode in waves of red, the crowd roaring like a coastal storm. The sound system pounds, the Faithful get loud, and everywhere you turn there's something cooking: garlic fries sizzling, barbecue smoking, craft beer flowing like a victory parade. It's lights, bites, and fight-night vibes the kind of place where every cheer rhymes with "touchdown time," and every play makes the whole stadium shake like an earthquake highlight. And man, when the game kicks off, nostalgia hits like a blitz. The chants rise, the lights flash, and the crowd moves as one roaring sea of red and gold energy. It's football theater, comedy, chaos the kind of electric madness that would make even a stand-up comic shout, "THIS IS INSANE!" You don't just watch a game here... you ride the wave, you shout till you're hoarse, you leave smiling like you struck gold in the end zone. Bang Bang Niner Gang. Five stars, no doubt.

So many memories have been made here throughout the years and I love every visit I made and will continue to make! As much as I love dogs, I am glad this place is now more strict about not allowing them within the gates. You could be fined if caught! In the past, I've seen people walk their dogs around and even seen people not prepared to pick up after their left behinds. It's a beautiful place and we don't need to see or step on any poo-poo.

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.
