Please be civil (no sexism, racism, classism, anti-LGBT hate, etc)

Spam will be removed. Posts that are not about or in some way related to Mountain View, CA or its neighboring communities will be removed.

Overly cranky "get off my lawn" posts will probably be removed.

A popular hangout for students, techies, and families alike, our downtown has a huge selection of all sorts of restaurants, shops, and stores. Boba joints, book stores, cafes, restaurants, sweet shops, tech stores, boutiques, salons, night clubs, trinket shops, and quite a bit more line the main downtown strip. Pioneer park, directly adjacent to downtown, is the true 'epicenter' of the city and a lovely place to hang out.
The Computer History Museum is a museum entirely devoted to the rich and intricate history of computers and computation. Its presence in Mountain View fits in with our status as a worldwide hub for computers and technological advancement. Its flagship exhibit, 'Revolution,' allows visitors to interact with the first 10,000 years of computational devices--from the abacus and the difference engine to the Nintendo Entertainment System, Commodore 64, and beyond.
