Two years ago, Fran Dehn, president of the Menlo Park Chamber of Commerce, saw a gap in books about Menlo Park history.

So great!! I want a copy!! Yes, a very mom and pop town - my father is still there but definitely has grown real estate prices...as they say - location, location, location!! You own a property in this town - keep it as long as possible...but gotta share - I grew up in menlo during the eighties and early nineties - went to st raymonds, Hillview, and Menlo Atherton. I am now 40 and moved to central florida from san jose area just last year. The prices in the Bay could get you a mansion where I am here! Not sure the traffic, high stress jobs, and all is worth it!

something to think about!
