Holiday Season To-Do’s in Palo Alto!

Posted in Palo Alto

Looking for a break from all that holiday shopping?

Stop by the Palo Alto Museum of American Heritage (MOAH) for their exhibit with a youthful, whimsical feel–”Living LEGO-cy: Legendary LEGOS and Terrific Trains.” Everyone loves trains and this exhibit won’t disappoint. Together with the Bay Area LEGO User Group and the Bay Area LEGO Train Club, the MOAH presents its annual holiday display, featuring a 12.5-by-25-foot scenic layout with multiple trains running through magnificent city, farm and suburban scenes, including recreations of many actual Bay Area locations. Pictures of the display can be found here. This exhibit runs through Jan. 9 at the MOAH, located at 351 Homer Ave. Admission is free for MOAH members and an affordable $2 for non-members. The museum is open Friday-Sunday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

And of course it wouldn’t be the holiday season without lights….lots of lights. The tradition continues this year–Fulton Street (off Embarcadero Road), better known as the “Christmas Tree Lane” of Palo Alto, is now lit up for the holidays. This long-standing tradition, which began in 1940, features fun activities with miniature Christmas trees lining the street, the famed, larger-than-life toy soldier and, of course, some of the most beautifully decorated homes in all of the Bay Area. Images can be found here. Christmas Tree Lane will be lighted each night from 5:00 pm to 11 pm. through December 31.

Altaire loves being a part of the Palo Alto community and we wish you and your family a happy holiday season.

Pantone’s 2011 Color of the Year

Posted in Our Community

December 13th, 2010 by admin

One of the easiest ways to add a little personality to a new home is with a fresh coat of paint. But picking a paint color can be a daunting task. It’s a tricky balance between lighting, personality, mood and current trends. Are you one of those people who feels overwhelmed by the process of picking “the right color” and are left with a dozen swatches on walls and no direction? Pantone to the rescue! The leader in color and design recently announced their much-anticipated color of the year.

Pantone’s 2011 Color of The Year – PANTONE 18-2120 Honeysuckle. Pantone’s website describes the vibrant color as:

Energizing Honeysuckle lifts spirits and imparts confidence to meet life’s ongoing challenges.

A Color for All Seasons. Courageous. Confident. Vital. A brave new color, for a brave new world. Let the bold spirit of Honeysuckle infuse you, lift you and carry you through the year. It’s a color for every day — with nothing “everyday” about it.

So how does one incorporate this playful color into an interior design theme? Their article goes on to say:

Honeysuckle is upbeat and dynamic when used on large areas like the entry area of a house or an apartment. It is an appetite and conversation stimulant when used on the dining room walls. In the kitchen, it adds a fun touch on the table in placemats and other linens (patterned or solid), colored glassware, candles and small appliances. Honeysuckle is a great color to cover up shabby kitchen cabinets, or, if that’s too much of a color statement for you, try repainting knobs and drawer pulls. But be warned – once you try this arresting shade, it can become addictive.

You can read the entire article at the Pantone site here.

Happy Decorating & Painting from the Altaire Team!

Nola Reopens After Million-Dollar Remodel

Posted in Palo Alto

December 8th, 2010 by Altaire Townhomes

‘N’awlins’ restaurant, Nola, opened its doors once again after a significant remodel of the popular restaurant. Inspired by its namesake, the southern city of New Orleans, Nola boasts an expanded food and cocktail menus, modern new lounge, a colorful Spanish-inspired fountain and an impressive compliment of large high-definition television sets for the patron’s enjoyment. Nola owner, Greg St. Claire, showcased the six week, million-dollar remodel earlier this week.

The heart and soul of Nola has not changed a bit – gumbo served as Mississippi Blues play in the background. But there are some artistic changes that patrons will immediately notice. The remodel/renovation includes an impressive art collection. According to a recent patch article, St. Claire is quite proud of the display. “I probably have the largest collection of folk art from the American South this side of the Mississippi,” St. Claire said. “Only a fraction of it is on display here.”

The building itself adds to the ambiance that is Nola. The structure is actually “part of the historic registry,” St. Claire said and its history seems custom-made for the popular current restaurant and lounge. According to St. Claire, a Spaniard named Pedro de Lemos originally built the two-story building in the early 20th century after he moved to Palo Alto from New Orleans.

So what can you find when you dine at Nola? Their website says it all : Our menu consists of Creole, Cajun, and Southwestern cuisine. New Orleans favorites, such as hurricanes, fresh oysters, gumbo, seafood jambalaya, and étouffée, are just a few of the classics you will find. And the reviews confirm and explain the popularity of this unique dining experience in Palo Alto:

“Great food , great atmosphere , outstanding and helpful service” – boorah.com … “… fun bar and atmosphere” – dine.com … “Great food, great ambiance” – zagat.com … “Excellent service!” – dine.com … “Very fun place” – dine.com

The variety of culinary options on the Peninsula is staggering; Palo Alto is indeed a foodie-heaven. Just one more reason Altaire loves calling Palo Alto “home”.

Stanford is Orange Bowl bound!

Stanford is off to Florida where they will face off against Virgina Tech in the Orange Bowl in Miami on Janaury 3, 2011. The Stanford football team has come a long way under the guidance of head coach, Jim Harbaugh, who inherited a program that posted a 1 -11 season prior to his hiring and now have an impressive 11-1 season, now at #4 in the BCS national ranking. This Orange Bowl should be an excellent game; the two teams have never played and Virginia Tech dominated the Atlantic Coast division, beating traditional powerhouse teams such as Miami and Florida State.

In a recent mercurynews.com article, Coach Harbaugh discussed the Orange Bowl challenge. “It’s a great bowl, and it’s a great reward for our players,” said coach Jim Harbaugh. “Now it’s known where we’re going, and our intent is to win it.”

Good Luck, Stanford. We will be rooting for you!

In other local athletic news and not to be outdone by the Stanford Football program, Palo Alto’s High girls’ volleyball team ended an incredible season, posting many firsts for its volleyball program - The Vikings won the SCVAL De Anza Division title, captured their first-ever Central Coast Section Division I crown, won their first Northern California championship and qualified for an appearance in the state finals for the first time. On Saturday the Vikings rallied for a thrilling five-set victory over Long Beach Poly in the CIF Division I state finals at the San Jose State Event Center. Quite an accomplishment and an incredible ending to an amazing season. Congratulations Vikings! A local paloaltoonline.com article describing this amazing athletic feat can be found here.

Altaire is fortunate to be located in a community as amazing as Palo Alto. We are very fortunate indeed.

Silicon Valley Growing Fast

Posted in Palo Alto

November 9th, 2010 by Altaire Townhomes

According to statistics presented at a recent real estate conference sponsored by Collier International, the economic health of the region is improving. Silicon Valley is experiencing strong economic recovery that should continue in the next several years, bolstered by employment growth at social-media companies and regional corporate powerhouses, such as Intel.

The South Bay is in the top tier of regions leading in the percentage change of its jobs base, faster than the metropolitan areas of Phoenix, New York, Miami, Seattle and a slew of other cities.

According to a recent article in The Registry, The Bay Are Real Estate Journal -

‘Silicon Valley, which created nearly 10,000 jobs in the first three quarters, adding 1.1 percent to its employment base, is the strongest geography in Northern California and one of the strongest in the nation, said Ken Rosen, chairman of Berkeley-based Rosen Consulting Group and Rosen Real Estate Securities.’

Palo Alto is a great place to live. We have it all – wonderful people, beautiful weather and a strong vocational infrastructure which brings the best and brightest to our region. Just another reason that Altaire loves to call Palo Alto home.
