Posted by Ann, a resident of the Downtown North neighborhood, on Feb 28, 2011 at 2:32 pm Loved the idea of the First Person videos. It would be great to open it so that local video makers and film makers could submit their stories. There are many talented students (high school and college) and professionals that would love to produce small high quality pieces to be published at Palo Alto Online. - Ann
