stanford mall is one of the upscale malls in the Bay Area, too expensive for me though, so ended up at the Great Mall in Milpitas and the Mc Carthy ranch opposite 880. Must say the economy has taken its toll on retail shops in American, too many closed shops.

Even the outlet shop at Gilroy, had several outfits closed. It looked so barren from the 101.

I agree with China chix—most probably the model for ATC.That’s why I love going to ATC, it has a different ambience from the regular boxed mall!
Love the flowers MM!

The flowers are gorgeous! It’s been a while, but I remember being blown away when I visited this mall for the first time in the 90s. I suspect this was the inspiration for when Alabang Town Center was built much later….

The flowers at the Stanford Mall are part of the thrill of going there. Even if I don’t purchase anything, I just love seeing all the flowers in bloom and how different all the planters are each time I go. My young children (age 4 and 1) don’t mind that Stanford doesn’t have a kiddie playground, as they love the fountains, the hummingbirds and the flowers. Whenever family visits from the PI, I love to take them to Stanford. And now that I’ve seen your pictures, I see the glass pumpkins are back. I just might take a trip there tomorrow.

The break is doing you good MM. You’ve not only stopped and smelled the flowers but the innate giver in you wanted to share your colorful finds. Thanks – these were beautiful!

Aww, you made me homesick! That’s the mall I used to pal around with my girlfriends at during high school and junior high. I love their poppies in the spring – huge, papery blossoms of a confetti of colors. You never know how lucky you are until someone else sees it with fresh eyes! Thank you.
