Bergmann's Department Store, Palo Alto, CA

I'm sorry, Mr. James Franco, but your childhood memories of Palo Alto, California are VERY different than mine. #paloaltomovie,#paloalto,#jamesfranco

It's the Christmas season at Bergmann's! You've been given a $10 gift card from your aunt Joyce. What are you going to buy?

For all you fans of Bergmann's you may also have enjoyed watching Jeremy Lin's (one of Palo Alto's favorite sons) ascension in the NBA. This great movie, made by a friend of mine, documents his CInderella story... including his humble beginnings at Paly! (Like it, and look for it)

For those of you interested in this upcoming movie, you may want to enter this contest to hang with Mr. Franco on the set of Seth Rogen's new movie. For a good cause. http://igg.me/at/jamesfrancopaloalto/x/3629559

Inside the gym that was Bergmann's.

Bergmann's exterior, as it looks now. The starbucks is to the right.

Thanks for the collective memories folks. This has become a great place to trip out on memory lane.

Amazing. Over 1,000 fans of Bergmann's. Very happy that this page has brought up so many happy memories for so many. Keep posting those memories.

Charlene Kavros Gillihan is Bergmann's 700th fan. It took about a month and a half to go from 600 to 700. Thanks for all the memories, photos, and stories this has been a very fun site to maintain. Charlene, of course, wins a $50 gift certificate to Berg

Congratulations to John Hallesy of Boulder Colorado for becoming Bergmann's official 600th fan! He wins a $50 gift certificate to ... Bergmann's! Where the coffees always fresh and the gift wrapping is free.

Below I meant to say 600 fans.
