Welcome to Pleasanton, CA
Drive east from San Francisco and over the Hayward Hills, and as you descend into the valley below, you will find Pleasanton. What was once a small town has grown into a thriving, affluent community. Its modern business park houses big buildings and big-name companies like Oracle and Robert Half, but the quaint downtown area with his early 20th-century architecture still harks back to an earlier era. Pleasanton's biggest claim to fame today may be as the home of former coach and NFL commentator John Madden, but it also once served as the background for the movie "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm" and silent movies by Charlie Chaplin. We hope you enjoy this lens about Pleasanton.

Lived in Pleasanton a while back. Took the 92 to San Mateo. Gotta say it wasn't as bad as the 101. Posted July 05, 2008 |

I grew up in Livermore, but lived in Pleasanton for a couple of years. The downtown area is my favorite, especially when there's a farmers' market or festival. I always run into people I know. Nicely done, and lensrolled to my Livermore lens. Posted January 28, 2008 |
