About The South Bay Today

The South Bay Today is a daily guide to life across the South Bay — Campbell, Cupertino, Los Altos, Los Gatos, Milpitas, Mountain View, Palo Alto, San Jose, Santa Clara, Saratoga, and Sunnyvale. It answers one question: what should we do today? Day plans, events, summer camps, restaurant openings, city council meetings, and the local tech economy, all in one place.

Where the information comes from

Everything on the site traces back to a primary source. Events come from venue, library, city, and university calendars across 20+ feeds. Restaurant openings come from Santa Clara County environmental-health permit records. Council coverage is built from each city's official agenda and minutes systems, summarized into plain English with links back to the original record on every page. Weather comes from the National Weather Service. Photos come from the venues themselves and Creative Commons contributors, credited where shown.

Pipelines that gather and summarize this run on a mix of scripts and AI tooling, with automated fact-checking passes and human review. When something's wrong anyway — a moved event, a misdated opening — tell us with the Tips & Feedback button in the corner of any page, and it gets fixed fast.

How often it updates

The site rebuilds nightly with fresh data, and event listings refresh through the day. The daily plan is new every morning; the RSS feed and the morning email carry it beyond the site.

Who's behind it

It's an independent project of stanwood.dev — built by a South Bay resident because this guide didn't exist and seemed like it should. There are no ads, no paywall, and no sponsored placements; nothing on the site is paid for by the businesses or venues that appear on it.

Listings link to official sources — always double-check times and prices with the venue before heading out. Privacy policy.
