It’s clearly an idea who’s time has come. On a beautiful Sunday hundreds of people came to the Palo Alto Repair Cafe with items that needed fixing, from irons to lamps to radios to bicycles.  Dozens of people lined up before the doors opened, and many had to be turned away because the “fixers” were so busy helping others.

Transition Palo Alto co-sponsored this second cafe, and is looking forward to working with the organizers on future Repair Cafes.
