Ingrid's has the absolute best Mystic Tan with MagneTan technology. You get a stunning tan that looks like you just returned from a week's vacation. It's perfectly safe and looks amazing. The first time I did it everyone told me, "you've never looked better." I highly recommend Ingrid's. The staff is so sweet and spends lots of time with you to make sure you understand how to prep appropriately (the secret to good self-tanning is in the prep...not so much the application). Run to Ingrid's before your next event or vacation and you will see why I love it so much!
Plese don't tan in a tanning bed, though. Tanning beds are dangerous for your health. Period. The beds that are suppossedly "safe" are actually frying your skin underneath causing more wrinkles and drastically increasing your risk for multiple melanoma...the deadliest form of skin cancer. Also, once you get skin cancer you can NEVER go in the sun again, as long as you live. NOT worth it. (a friend of mine died from this.)

Need a pair of running shoes and don't know which one to get? I had this problem and Metrosport helped solve my problem.
After running Bay to Breakers with a cheap pair of Asic running shoes, my feet hurt llike crazy. I went to Metrosport and the salesperson asked me to run to see which pair i should get.
He noticed that I overpronated and so i needed a pair of shoes with proper support. He recommend a pair of new balnce N764s ($69) and these shoes have been wonderful. I ran bay to breakers last year with these shoes and without hte pain.
Metrosport has a great selection, resonable prices (though not cheap, you do pay for the expertise), friendly salespeople, and folks that do know their product very well. This is a great running store who can help you pick out a pair of shoes that you need.

The Palo Alto Gamescape has been around since forever. It's a great place to get your game fix. From strategy to board games to puzzles and all the rest. Unfortunately, it looks like the owner may be closing down this location at the end of the summer. The good news is that they're having a fire sale of their existing inventory. (They'll even order requests and sell those at a discount for some reason.)

Very helpful; good selection, lots of knowledge! I had a good experience - the guys not only helped to find the right equipment but spent time explaining what is and what is not!
Pros: Only store in the area

This is a great outdoor ice skating rink. But unfortunatly it is closed during the summer beacause it would be too hard to keep it up in the very hot California weather. The rentals are really cheap is what I like. The ice skating part isn't expensive either, so this whole package is a great deal. Parking isn't really a problem. It is easy to find. They play good music while you skate. It is really cool to have a birthday party there (I've been to one) or just hang out there with your friends. During certain times lessons are available

Hopefully the new high-traffic location will benefit this great bike shop. (I always thought that other building, a converted bank, was rather strange.) Bikes, Bikes, Bikes! If you are into bicycling - whether mountain, street, or other – this will be your kind of shop. It has everything – all the brands you recognize, and probably some you don’t. Are you a little rusty on your bike knowledge? Ask away, the staff is knowledgeable and professional.

FYI Ganesha is an indian god who has the face of an elephant (Long story but you could research if you are interested)
