One Woman's Homage to Cuesta Park Annex

Love the wildness of Cuesta Park Annex? Remember the days when it was a typical sight around here? Say goodbye to all of that.

We reside in separate towns, but that's not how we live.

Mountain View and Los Altos are intertwined. One side of a street is Los Altos. The other side is Mountain View. We attend each others' schools. Sometimes you think you're in one city and turns out that you're in another, because of little pockets, left over from our orchard days. We grow to love places irrespective of the city boundaries. 

Like open space.

Chan walked over to each council member and showed them these pictures, which she took of the trees that she admires when she visits the annex.
