Welcome to Santa Clara County, home of three major Universities.

You live near one, I live next to another, and there is one somewhere in the
middle. I am sure you are going to find Palo Alto a most pleasant place to
live.

Most bone yards are not in PA itself but in the slums of San Jose. There is
one as you drive down 101 into San Jose, turning off at Old Oakland Road,
heading north for a block then hanging a right onto commercial street. The
pick and pull is about a mile down this street.

There is also a P&P on Monterey Highway, just south of SJ central. Take 280
to the Guadaloupe (87), head south, take the first exit (Alma) and head
east. You'll run into Monterey (At Southern Lumber). Turn right and the P&P
is on the right.

Last one I know about is on Tradewinds Blvd. Take 101 to 880, head north
till youi get to Montegue Expressway. Head east. You'll run into TW Blvd on
the right. It's right past Old Oakland Road.  Go down about a half mile and
it's on the left.
