Whole Foods Solicitation Control

I had never seen a sign like this before.  It was in front of Whole Foods on Bascom Avenue.  I guess this might be like "Don't Feed the Animals." that giving to solicitors might make them sick or something?

Hike Around the Arena: San Jose

I have a hard time calling it the Sap Center, because I knew it first as just the Arena.  Anyway, it is where the Sharks play.  I first checked out the new bus stop.  They have been putting bus stops up and down Santa Clara Street.  It had a pattern in the glass, and one on the side walk.

 From here I walked to Whole Foods.  The parking lot there replaced the building where I first worked when I moved to San Jose.  It is on Stockton Street, but the program was called Virginia Street Project.  I checked out Whole Foods and finally settled on raspberries, a white peach, and a bottle of water.  I ate the peach right off, and man was it good, even though some juice dribbled on my hand.  The raspberries were equally as good.  I took some to work the next day and have really enjoyed them.

 Coming back I took a couple pictures of the arena from different angles.

Ace Train: 57: New Whole Foods and Totem Pole

I checked out the new Whole Foods which is kitty corner from the Diridon Station and on the property where Virginia Street Project (my first employment with Santa Clara County) was located.  I made a quick walk to the store, and almost missed the train.  Luckily it was late (it almost never is starting out, but sometimes gets delayed) as I got there only two minutes before the regular departure.   The store is interesting.  It is more like a restaurant than a store.  However in addition to that they sell lots of health food; sort of like Trader Joe's.  It seemed rather pricey to me.  I was looking for something to snack on, and in the end went with Girl Scout Cookies back at Diridon  Station.
