Million Dollar Dirt - story of Silicon Valley
@Jay Hinrichs In case you havent seen this peek into history, its fascinating. You must have experienced a lot of these orchards growing up in the valley I assume. Living in Sunnyvale, I had no idea about this history, now a lot of names here make sense like the C J Olson fruit stand at the mall I frequently go to.
Land values went from dirt cheap to 12000/acre to well more than a million today. lol. The most fertile farm lands in the country used to be here in the valley.
