Dang, these guys know how to rock it. Delicious stuff. Never had a bad day here. Plus it's just right across the street from Prospect HS and right by Westgate Mall too, with plenty of parking.

This park was constructed during 2006-07 and was inaugurated in August 2007 to public. This park is an excellent resource for kids and lazy to moderate walkers. Good place for gathering for parties. During summer you will see a lot of party areas. This park also has a big gazebo that is often used during the weekends for big parties.

As a child we would go to the dump and throw our trash directly into the Bay. For a long time one could go to the dump and hunt rats for fun. Fortunately, those days are gone (with a wistful sigh).

The correct term is "Highrises" since we do not have any real "Skyscrapers". Unlike San Francisco, San Jose had room to grow and could easily be larger than Phoenix had it not been for towns incorporating in the face of annexation (by San Jose) in the 40s - 70s. San Jose IS a VERY urban city, but also suburban. It lacks the population density and skyline of San Francisco. It is not as cosmopolitan and "Manhattanized". It lacks much of the culture and scenic beauty, but is very beautiful if looking down on the valley from the mountains or flying into the valley. The weather is near perfect, SF's is not. I love SF and was born and raised there, but moved to SJ in 1975. San Jose is definitely not and has never been a suburb of SF. San Jose was a town long before SF ever existed. At one time, San Jose was the first and only city in the West. SJs (and Silicon Valley's) industrial development took place independently of SF. The two cities are inextricably linked, but SF would not be the great city it is today without SJ. The reverse is true as well. In fact the West would not be what it is today without SJ (or SF). I have studied the history of both cities and the region as a whole, and in many ways San Jose has a richer history. San Jose is definitely a world class city, but not in the superficial way by which "world class" cities are judged. More life changing innovations have come out of San Jose than any city in the world. There is a lot of history and facts about SJ that are not on Wikipedia. San Jose has the NHL, will soon have MLB, and the NFL in Santa Clara. If the Warriors weren't successful in Oakland, you can bet they would move here to. SJ will become the transportation center of the Bay Area once BART and High Speed Rail are completed. These professional sports franchises are moving here because they know this is where the people are, and this is where the money is. As much as I love SF, I would rather vist than live there like the majority of Americans.
