Palo Alto Audio Tour: Cultural Gems and Legends of University South
A redwood older than the State itself stands sentinel over secrets most travelers never see. In University South, the past hums beneath café chatter and leafy streets, begging curious minds to listen. This self-guided audio tour invites you off the beaten path and into the pulse of Palo Alto. Uncover elusive histories, bold personalities, and strange tales intertwined with El Palo Alto, the Stanford Theatre, and glimmering shopping arcades. What sparked a frantic chase beneath the boughs of the oldest tree in town? Which lost film reels are rumored to haunt the gilded balcony of Stanford Theatre? Whose lavish folly lies hidden among luxury storefronts and why was it never revealed? Move through centuries in a single stroll, peeling back facades and unearthing stories of rebellion, rivalries, and spectral whispers. See familiar spots with new eyes and feel the electricity of discovery in every step. History waits just outside your door. Start listening and let the old redwood show the way.
