That's interesting. The only Magnolia stores I've been to were in corner enclaves within a Best Buy store but not completely enclosed or partitioned off. Foot traffic and ambient noise from the main section of the store was fully audible in the 'high-end' audio section. Not a good setup but this wasn't Palo Alto or Atherton. ;-)

You didn't miss much. I may not have spent much time there, but it was like an every man's HiFi shoppe; basically, nothing to get our blood pressure up. However, I miss the old times. Only Apple and Restoration Hardware occupy that strip for big item retail, but Palo Alto Bicycle is still going strong. Lots of bicycle shops, still, fortunately, where you can go to a store where they really know their product.[Not even a book store, as Borders closed quite a while ago under the competition from Amazon's online sales. So, I have little reason to go there anymore.]

gone too. When I was there last May I noticed it was empty. I like to eat at the corner cafe across from it...
They closed a bunch of stores, but NOT the Palo Alto location. I like that store. Their furniture is way too expensive, but they have other stuff that is very well made and worth the price. Their sales people are of high-caliber as well.
I was thinking of that high end bathroom store on the corner of Hamilton & Emerson...the one that sold Turkish towels for 90 bucks! Sorry, been gone from the area too long and off of University not long enough...
