I lived in Santa Clara many moons ago. What used to be all prune orchards is now all Apple. And Google and Youtube! There was a restaurant in a strip mall called the Pruneyard. They had nearly 500 omelets on the menu and if you didn't see one you liked, they'd make one to order. That was our Sunday breakfast place.
