[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]East Palo Alto started with Whiskey Gulch; just outside Palo Alto city
limits. Drinking at Stanford was illegal back in the day. Walk over to
Whiskey Gulch, buy some alcohol and walk back to campus. Thus started East
Palo Alto. A story probably familiar to every college town...

In 1979 East Palo Alto was just as you describe.
That was 30 years ago, and a great deal of gentrification has taken place
since then.
That's part of the lifecycle of cities.
There are still parts of it that I would be uneasy walking through at night,
but not so many.
