On June 15, 1975, approximately 125 students, excited to pursue
their dreams, marched into the Ravenswood High School
courtyard to the traditional melody of "Pomp & Circumstance "wide-eyed and eager to face the world.
The traditional graduation ceremonies ended with the class theme song, "We've Only Just Begun." Parents and students celebrated
together the milestone accomplishment of graduating from high school.
They were unaware that the very next year their high school doors would be closed forever.

Come and try some at the 7th annual Collard Greens Cultural Festival next Saturday,
June 30th in Bell Street Park

This ultimately led to the creation of Collard Greens Ice Cream.

Festival in 1998 we discussed making collard greens ice cream for the Festival.

Una rebanada de
Michoacán, México
East Palo Alto has a significant community of residents who immigrated from
Michoacan, Mexico together with their food and culture. One of the best ways to
experience a slice of this culture is to eat at El Galope, a restaurant serving
Michoacan-style Mexican food for over fifteen years in East Palo Alto. Owned and operated by
Guillermina González, El Galope is a taqueria/restaurant and a whole lot more.
