In Korea-Town (a couple of blocks of Korean businesses) they had this "innovativebank" a dentist and a (the?) newspaper all in one building with about eight parking spaces out front.

An un-car dealer. What's that? Whatever it is, stealing the slogan off the greenback seems to help them do business. Maybe they are making it rough for the used car dealers in Mountain View. Their lots have been looking very bare lately. This place at least had product to move.

That Starving Musician was there the first time I remember going down El Camino gawking. Maybe the paint job has been updated a couple of times, but it's the same business. I never hear them advertising on the radio, whatever that means.

What's Chocolate Sushi? The concept is so funny I'm tempted to go all the way down there to eat sometime.

  

I saw lots of mainstream burger joints, lots of ethnic restaurants, and lots of unlit businesses. I saw ONE sign for an American Diner. I hope it's a sit down place with plastic coated menus full of stuff like chicken soup, grilled cheese sandwiches, succotash, meatloaf, and pumpkin pie (a la mode for a dollar or two more). Pancakes and omelette's till noon.  I imagine Formica tables in padded booths. If it was in Virginia the waitress would probably smoke or chew gum while she took your order.

I'd like to nominate this bike rack in the bike path channel between the end of W. Washington in Sunnyvale and E. Dana in Mountain View for a "stupid placement for an urban accessory" award. I almost hit it the first time I saw it. I dread to think what going through that channel would be like if somebody parked their bike there and somebody else wanted to go the other way when I went through. Maybe Sunnyvalers don't ride much because their city thinks that kind of thing "helps".
