We took an evening walk in the Guadalupe River Park along Almaden Avenue in Downtown San Jose. This public art - Genepool is at the River Street Historic District right behind Lowry’s Irish Coffee House. It is a pool with stones inscribed with children ’s first names from various cultures that have enriched San Jose. The River Street Historic District is a nice little area with old Victorian houses converted into business. Back in the 1900, the River Street area was once the home of dozens of Italian Immigrants who came to San Jose to work on farms and orchards. Lowry’s is a nice cafe to hang out for brunch and escape from afternoon heat. It is nice to have the option to sit in a local cafe. It brightens the neighbourhood from the shadow of the monster Starbuck’s coffee! :0)
