It's Our Business: Congratulations to KC!

The fourth clue jogged the memory of a reader who correctly named Whole Foods in Los Altos as the location of our mystery spot.

Congratulations to KC for guessing Whole Foods!

This is the bulletin board area seen when you emerge from the parking garage stairs. There is nifty canvas Patch bag, handy for shopping at said Whole Foods, waiting. 

Contact losaltos@patch.com, KC, and we'll get the bag to you! 

=====================================

OK, we had a couple of weeks' break but we've put up Hint #4.

Shoppers, we know some of you must have passed by this spot!

See if this wider view jogs any memories. 

====================================

Los Altos Patch's "It's Our Business" is back, after a little hiatus.

This is variation of "Look For This, Los Altos!" and the idea is simple: We shoot a scene from inside a business found somewhere in Los Altos. If you shop Los Altos, you've probably seen it.

We'll start in close, and let you guess what and where it is. If there are no guesses, we'll show wider and wider views until someone guesses correctly.

As usual, bragging rights are the best prize. And we're still giving away canvas Patch bags to our best guessers.

Here's our first one. Good luck!

Corrections: 1. Straw man attack: nobody is blaming BCS for district-wide growth. Nobody. 2. BCSRead More does not get "half the funding" of LASD. BCS gets about 6500 and LASD gets about 9500. The BCS program for typical children costs about twice as much as the comparable LASD program. BCS is simple an expensive hybrid public/private school, nothing more. 3. Mr. Roode pointed out that there are about 100 or so special ed. students at LASD (I cannot verify this but it seems very low). LASD calls out an annual expense of $7.5 million for special ed. meaning each of these students cost LASD $75,000, not $1,000 as he implied. 4. The law and the courts have ALREADY compelled LASD to give reasonably equivalent facilities and they have. BCS has a lower student/teacher ratio meaning that they have more classrooms for the same number of kids. This is not, legally speaking, LASD's problem. 5. Mr. Roode has yet to explain how the Covington campus could be 16 acres. Further, he continues to spread the fallacy that campuses ACREAGE is even remotely relevant to its student capacity. Campuses are limited by their location and traffic, not how many acres of grass there is in the back. 6. Were it not for BCS, we would have passed a bond in the last election, as the polling shows. BCS litigation has ripped our community apart and has left it with a mountain to climb when it comes to operating in a normal fashion.

@David R. I think Homestead uses EarthCare Recycling, based on its April 6 E-Waste collection dayRead More publicity (http://bit.ly/10mIV14) : www.earthcarerecycling.com "Recycle FREE your old electronic equipment - working or not! Anything with a plug or PC board inside. Also accepted are non-household batteries, VHS tapes and other media, and scrap metal. Visit www.earthcarerecycling.com for a list of accepted items. "

What kind of bins are there? Do you take used CDROMs? How about VHS tapes? Cables and wire?

I saw a public report that said most of the discussion related to carpooling and so forth, sinceRead More Blach is separated so much from the rest of the school. You know, things like dropping off both kids at Egan, and then a group of kids headed for Blach share a ride or vice versa. I don't see how any nonparents can really help with that.
