The last one to open was the &#8220;Silicon Valley&#8221; ideal, nestled right alongside the freeway and virtually inaccessible. But, it was a big enough building. AND it was close to Google HQ (on the other side of the freeway).  So the grand announcements rang [&#8230;]]]></description>

They must think this is something brilliant as they have a whole campaign based on this slogan&#8230;. But the third one here is jaw-dropping. Taking money from a 10 year old? And promoting it? Tells you how warped one&#8217;s view becomes inside the bubble. That left me [&#8230;]]]></description>
