Alvaro Ponce/Special to the Town CrierFrom music and dance performances to tree-lighting ceremonies, family-friendly entertainment options abound during the holiday season. Following are a few highlights.
In an era and area where people often seem too busy to know others in their community, there is a street of residents in south Los Altos who have crossed the white picket fence divide between neighbors.
To sum up his nearly four-decade career as an animal control officer, William Warrior turned to poet W.B. Yeats.
Citing Yeats’ “An Irish Airman Foresees His Death,” Warrior said that a “lonely impulse of delight” drove him to “this tumult in the streets” – playing on the actual poem, which reads “this tumult in the clouds.”
When Spa of Los Altos (formerly Lydia Young’s Health Spa) closed nearly a decade ago to make way for the Packard Foundation’s new digs, members scattered. Many had belonged to the women-only club for decades; they lost a convenient place to work out as well as a sense of community. Gathering for yoga or step classes, chatting on the treadmills or simply lounging in the Jacuzzi, the women had formed friendships while getting fit or soothing their aching muscles.
Fall is full of local events – from plays to concerts. A rundown of what’s happening when and where follows.
The neighbors call it a magic house. And, in a way, it is. A recently painted mural on the facade of this Los Altos home makes it virtually disappear.
The Town Crier publishes six different glossy magazines throughout the year that are inserted into the newspaper.
