02:55 - It's Christmas in Heaven, all the children sing
|
(top)  |
De Anza Boulevard is the main north-south thoroughfare through Cupertino. It's what branches off into Mariani and Infinite Loop right at the intersection with I-280; and for almost its entire length, from El Camino Real in Sunnyvale up to Saratoga in the foothills, across three name changes reflecting historical hegemonies of communities (and a sign indicating the boundary of a sliver of San Jose itself, showing the date of founding as 1777), it has a neat, clean, smooth, landscaped median between the lanes.
Up in Apple's neighborhood, the median is adorned with decorative wooden ivy-covered bowers, and the vegetation is strung throughout with Christmas lights. And starting Thanksgiving week, those lights get turned on at night.
 
All it's missing is snow.
(Which isn't to say I mind the fact that I still have to have my window open a few inches and my arm hanging out at night. Looks like the arrival of winter a few weeks ago was sort of a false alarm...)
