No, this towel closet is located on california avenue, considered to be a student slum.. No gucci or armani exchanges anywhere near here.

Not the same animal as university avenue and those swanky shops.. Not even the same zoo!

It's the top floor in a 2 story building housing an ethnic take-out and a bar. Probably some of the lowest rent in the whole city, very run down. Wouldn't be surprised if they got it just to have a Palo Alto address. No sign out front, just a name on a door and the peg-board at the bottom of the stairs. I'll have to stop by and see if Jill the webmistress is home.. Oh, I forgot, she cashed out long ago. :)

Besides, I'm sure you both know that gnet's HQ is in downtown Seattle, something like the 50th floor of the Columbia Center building, I believe.

Can you imagine the typical elevator scenario: t-shirt, blue jean and Birkenstock-clad 20-something pushing the 50 button, while Brooks Brothers stuffed shirt pushes 49 and gets off at Merrill Lynch....
