Small suburban town in the Bay Area, about an hour's drive south of San Francisco. Home to Steve Young, the Hewlett Packard garage, Steve Jobs and Robert Wozniak (founders of Apple), Stanford University, and the Grateful Dead. LIKE ANY TOWN, it has rich, middle-class, lower-middle-class, and even a few homeless people. But mostly rich people, because the minumum house price is around $750K. Ironically, the people who call it "Shallow Alto" are the shallowest ones around.
Palo Alto has a liberal atmosphere and Republicans are pretty much persecuted, but the town members tend to vote conservatively because when it comes down to it, they want to keep their money.
Palo Alto is home to two high schools: Palo Alto High School (north side, informally known as Paly) and Henry M. Gunn High School (south side, informally known as Gunn). Paly is located close to Stanford (across El Camino Real) and is ranked 199th on the Newsweek list of best public high schools. Gunn is ranked 50th.

Yes, the Grateful Dead started their career as "The Warlocks" in Palo Alto. So did the Donnas, and James Franco.
Goddamn, Stanford Shopping Center is expensive.

1. Uber rich California town that made it's zillions from the tech boom of the 80's. Went down a bit after the tech market crashed, but the residents are still far from poor.
2. A kickass song by Radiohead, probably about the same town.

A city about 30 miles south of San Francisco on the peninsula which is touted as having the highest percentage of shallow peoples in the San Francisco Bay Area. Most of these folks are neuvo riche, self-entitled, narcissistic, .com transplants from out of state and more often than not, from out of the country.
Our neighbors that have a new Tesla live in Shallow Alto but we live in Palo Alto with our 1980's Toyota Pickup.

an instrument that is part of the best instrument family in the band. By playing a sax it allows the person to have an overblown ego. However they must be good at playing their sax, otherwise they should be stoned. Invented by Adolf Sax as an instrument that can play loud as a trumpet and as fast as a flute or clarinet.
man that kid can play a great alto sax solo.
yeah and that kid is just acting like he can play.
we should beat him.
