Lee's Sandwiches. Did I mention Lee's Sandwiches? Also a thrift store that I've never been able to figure out how to get into, since Milpitas is really Spanish for "A Freeway Runs Through It" and the place is only visible as one has just gone by at high speed. Gotta be some good deals in there!

However, the only "milpa" in Milpitas is the garbage dump. It smells great in the summertime.

Proof that the house can't sell itself for the price they're asking and indicative of overall bay area insanity.
