About Palo Alto
Upscale and smart. Palo Alto is a technological epicenter. It's where math geniuses mix with Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, and over half of its population carries a postgraduate degree - or two! The city centers on Stanford University and encompasses 26 square miles. Palo Alto is just as beautiful as it is brainy. There are over four thousand acres of nature preserves, parks and gardens. Housing costs are astronomical and the area happens to be home to over sixty biotech and high tech firms. The city features highlights like the Stanford Theatre, where moviegoers can view black and white silent flicks to the musical swells of a Wurlitzer organ; as well as the Hoover Institute, where roughly eighty scholars combat the consequences of war; and a clutch of bookstores selling texts like the Thematic Origins of Scientific Thought.
Did you know?
Combating the evils of Marxism was the driving force of the Hoover Institute, a post-World War I think-tank. Founded by Herbert Hoover, it is housed at Stanford University's Hoover Tower. The tower stands 280 feet tall and features a 48-bell carillon. The Hoover Institute's first nine floors store archived documents on social, political and economic issues. The institute continues to be a consortium of over 80 scholars dedicated to improving world peace, and researching the causes and consequences of war.
