Midtown Shopping Center

Good to get food, and just relax for a little, not really a shopping center, more like a shopping area.

Giving this shopping center 5 stars since it is the shopping center that I frequented as a child, otherwise I would be rating it 4 stars.
Midtown Shopping Center has been around for decades.
Seems that in about the last 5+ years the main shopping areas has had a face lift especially with Walgreen’s, CVS & Starbucks as they opened up as brand new stores several years ago.
This shopping area certainly can get categorized as old meets new since there are several places that are newer and several that have been around for decades.
Some of the business in this shopping area are as follows:
Walgreen’s, CVS, Starbucks, Safeway, Round Table, 7 – 11, Mike’s Café, Midtown Shoe Repair, Baskin & Robbins and an assortment of a few other businesses at the four corners of Middlefield Road & Colorado Avenue.
Middlefield Road traffic that runs parallel to the Midtown shopping center is pretty narrow so don’t rubberneck or have your nose in your Smart-​phone or you might crash in to the car in front of you.
Also pay extra attention because there is a school about ¼ mile north past the shopping center, before and after school hours there are a lot of students riding/​walking past this area.

Another nice outdoor shopping area that spans a few blocks, in South Palo Alto.
Safeway, medium size but redone recently,
Mike’s Café
Walgreens
Peninsula Hardware
Washington Mutual Bank
Midtown Shoe repair
Palo Alto Café
Travel Smith Outffitters Outlet Store
…in addition to other various businesses, clothing, drug stores, coffee shops, video store, banks, etc…
Even though this is a few blocks down Middlefield, I don’t want to forget the Winter Lodge for ice skating,
