New Condo Development - Latitude 88
Looks like a new 1, 2, and 3 bedroom condo building is coming to San Jose at the intersection of Tasman and Zanker (near @First). If you take a good look at the sign it references the www.latitude88.com, but it looks like there is nothing there at the moment. Also googling Latitude 88 didn't yield much either. If anyone has info, please let us know in the comments.
Thanks to Luke for the tip and the photo.

Lots of Posts Coming Up
Usually I try to have one scheduled post every single day, but due the the sheer amount of things going on right now I'm going to have at least 2 scheduled each day over the next week. Just a quick heads up!
New Orchard Supply Opens in South San Jose
Orchard Supply is one of the oldest San Jose companies still around. It was here long before there was even a semblance of Silicon Valley. It looks like they are going back to their roots and are being spun off from their parent, Sears. They are also launching a new concept store right here in South San Jose, at the corner of Meridian and Blossom Hill in Princeton Plaza (formerly a Mervyn's). The 60,000 sqft space will have a new layout, canopy facade, and even clothing.

TechShop Grand Opening Today!
Come out to 300 S. 2nd Street between 10am-6pm to check out the new TechShop Downtown! I have no "handiwork" skills whatsoever but was still fascinated by the tour I got a couple of weeks ago. They have a lot of really cool machines in there like laser cutters, pipe benders, and whatever else you might need to build a physical product. This place should fit in nicely into SoFA and provide an invaluable resource for the Arts organizations there!

Get ready to party in DIY style! TechShop, the first member-based do-it-yourself workshop and fabrication studio, invites you to the grand opening celebration of our new location in San Jose. Come take a tour of our cutting edge facility: Learn how a laser cutter works and watch another machine cut through inches of steel with a stream of water. Take a look at what our members have been up to—from creating popular marketable products, to arts and crafts, to the development of a real working JetPack. Special offers on memberships and classes will be available for a limited time. Moveable Feast San Jose will be rolling through with a variety of their famous gourmet food trucks, so bring your appetite! The opening ribbon—made of cold-rolled steel—will be plasma cut at noon by Carl Bass, President & CEO of Autodesk followed by a keynote address.

Lost San Jose Launches a New Photo Blog!
Lost San Jose is one of, if not my favorite photography site focused on San Jose. What I didn't know until this weekend was that in addition to doing guerrilla photography, Josh Marcotte is also a writer and poet. He's put together a pretty compelling blog for San Joseans and it is being updated regularly.
