For some reason, DMV keeps sending me to a “Star” station for smog. Palo Alto Shell conveniently offers appointments on their website. They also have a nice discount coupon. When you arrive, don’t expect warm and fuzzy; they’re busy and it’s all business. But the job gets done, the DMV is happy, and it’s all ok until the next time. BTW: You can get a great lunch or snack at the new grocery about half a block north up ECL.
