"Midtown" on Middlefield Road in Palo Alto is a convenient place that is located on a busy street. It is still in the category of "auto"-serving, but there are some important differences that make it nicer for pedestrians along the core 2 blocks of neighborhood serving retail. The services offered include a grocery store, 2 drug stores, a small hardware store, an ATM (the bank turned into something else), a great local coffee shop, an ice cream shop, and dry cleaners. Middlefield is a busy street, consistently 2 lanes in each direction but it narrows through this stretch. There are also mid-block crossings that allow people to cross. The frontage include setbacks for shaded outdoor eating.
