💫 “I Never Noticed That Before!” – A Walking Tour of “Professorville”
Come discover the secrets hiding in plain sight! 🤫

Join architect Martin Bernstein for a lively 1.5-hour stroll through the tree-lined streets of Palo Alto’s charming and historic Professorville District.

Originally home to Stanford professors (hence the name!), Professorville is now a nationally recognized historic neighborhood packed with eclectic early 20th-century homes, fascinating architecture, and stories you’ll be glad you didn’t miss.

🗓 WHEN: Saturday, January 24, 2025 | 1:30–3:00 PM (Arrive a little early!)
