beat me to it. i have lived in downtown palo alto for the past six years during this span, University Ave seems to be slowly but surely transforming to a start-up office park. An example: on the NE side of University between Waverly and Cowper, where there used to be four or five shops (including an awesome place that made their own bagels, and another that sold toys made from wood) there is now a massive hole in the ground with a lot of noise coming from it, and which in ~ 18 months will be an office full of start-ups. sometimes i walk an entire block through downtown palo alto without seeing a single yoga studio.
