Local trivia

Stevens Creek Boulevard divides Santa Clara from San Jose. It's the main drag, and there are car dealerships on either side. What you may not notice, cruising past the rows of attempts to get your attention, is that Santa Clara and San Jose have different signage ordinances. That means, for instance, that dealerships on the San Jose side may display balloons all week long. Dealerships on the Santa Clara side may only display them on weekends.
