Stanford in The Orange Bowl

January 3rd, 2011 by admin

Altaire hopes that you had a safe and happy new Year celebration.  But before you transition out of your celebratory mood, make sure you make plans to watch #4 Standford match up with #13 Virginia Tech in this year’s BCS Orange Bowl.

There is already talk of Stanford quarterback, Andrew Luck, going pro and many give the edge to Stanford.  But don’t count out Virgina Tech as they have a potent player in their dual-threat quarterback, Tyrod Taylor, as well.  Both teams have improved over the course of the season.  Stanford has 1 loss and the Hokies have 2, both at the beginning of their season play.  Both teams are very evenly matched so it should be a great game. It is the first meeting between the two schools and the first meeting between Pac-10 and ACC teams in the 77-year history of the Orange Bowl Classic.

Of course, living in Palo Alto, we do have our favorite….GO STANFORD!

Art, Culture, Nice Weather, Lifestyle…it’s all in Palo Alto!

One of the reasons life is well lived here on the Peninsula, and in our hometown of Palo Alto, is that we have easy access to urban amenities like live musical performances, art exhibits, community festivals and events in a small town environment. The beautiful weather, great schools and care-free living at Altaire within steps of pilates, yoga, childcare, swimming pools and more is icing on the cake. Having Stanford University just down the road is certainly another big bonus!

What’s new at Stanford? The Cantor Art Center’s Contemporary Gallery has been transformed and we are offered a look at the “Extreme Makeover”.  “Extreme Makeover: A Fresh Look at the Cantor Art Center’s Contemporary Collection” opens December 15 and is ongoing. Be sure to stop by and view the new floor-to-ceiling re-installation of its contemporary gallery and new exhibition of contemporary works from the 1950′s to present.

VISITOR INFORMATION: Cantor Arts Center is open Wednesday – Sunday, 11 am – 5 pm, Thursday until 8 pm. Admission is free. The Center is located on the Stanford campus, off Palm Drive at Museum Way. Parking is free after 4 pm weekdays and all day on weekends. Information: 650-723-4177, museum.stanford.edu.
