Menlo Park

My father was a heretical researcher who was banished from the academia on the surface, and he was studying how to use magic as a technology... science? I don't really know anything about that kind of difficult stuff. What do I know? I am just a zombie.

Trivia

• Menlo Park's birthday is the Caltrain's date of the release of their experimental color schemes for the company's locomotives in 1982. Caltrain is a California commuter rail line serving the San Francisco Peninsula and Santa Clara Valley (Silicon Valley) and Menlo Park is one of the stations on this line.
• Menlo Park's name was mentioned earlier on in Columbia and Woking's backstories, before getting an event featuring her in Administrative Society Messiah.
• Menlo Park's elemental colour scheme (blue and orange) coincidentially mirrors her father's Blue-and-Orange Morality.
• Menlo Park and her father is loosely based on Thomas Alva Edison, an American inventor and businessman. His inventions include the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and early versions of the electric light bulb. Edison soon became known as the "Wizard of Menlo Park" because of the miraculous nature of his inventions which so radically changed how people lived.
• Menlo Park draws many clear influences from Frankenstein's monster, particularly his more gentle-hearted and slow-witted movie incarnation. Frankenstein's monster was notably brought to life by electricity, which Thomas Edison helped pioneer the use of.
• She is a unique "half-elf" in that she is partially made of elven body parts, instead of having an elf as a parent.
• Despite Menlo Park's low intelligence, she is still a strong mage - "Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration" is often a quote attributed to Thomas Edison.
• [Recurring Summer Festival] Melon Park's Special Skill animation is a direct reference to Fatal Frame's camera gameplay.

Menlo Park station is a Caltrain station located in Menlo Park, California. Menlo Park Railroad Station was constructed in 1867 by the San Francisco and San Jose Railroad Company (SF&SJ), the first railroad that united these two cities by running the length of the San Francisco Peninsula. SF&SJ incorporated in 1860 and by 1863, had opened the initial segment of its peninsula route. The entire 49.5-mile railroad was completed in 1864 and in 1870, the company merged with Southern Pacific Railroad. In addition to being a State Historic Landmark as well as being listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Menlo Park Railroad Station also holds the record as the oldest, continually operating train station in all of California. It also holds title to being the oldest building still standing in Menlo Park. SiliconValleyAndBeyond

Tracks of the San Francisco and San Jose Railroad reached Menlo Park in 1863, a train stop shelter opened but it had no name, it was just the end of the line, but it needed a designation. A railroad official looked over at the gates and decided that "Menlo Park" would be appropriate, and so the name was officially adopted. This station is now California State Landmark No. 955, the oldest California station in continuous operation. The railroad provided wealthy San Francisco barons faster transportation to their country homes – a round-trip ticket from Menlo Park to San Francisco cost $2.50 and a one-way ride took 80 minutes, compared to the stagecoach, which took four hours from Redwood City to San Francisco.

The railroad known today as "Caltrain" is the oldest passenger railroad in the West in continuous operation. Constructed by the San Francisco & San Jose Railroad, the railroad subsequently was absorbed by the Southern Pacific, which operated the Peninsula Commute Service for more than a century. A transition to public ownership began in the 1980s, first under the state of California, followed by a three-county agency called the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board, which has owned and operated Caltrain since 1992.

There are seven Peninsula rail depots on the National Register of Historic Places. From north to south, they are: Millbrae, Burlingame, San Carlos, Menlo Park, Palo Alto, Santa Clara and San Jose Diridon. Four of them were built in the 1800s. Almanac News

The Thomas Edison Center at Menlo Park, also known as the Menlo Park Museum / Edison Memorial Tower, is a memorial to inventor and businessman Thomas Alva Edison, located in the Menlo Park area of Edison, Middlesex County, New Jersey. The tower was dedicated on February 11, 1938, on what would have been the inventor's 91st birthday.

The tower marks the location of Edison's Menlo Park laboratory, the world's first organized research and development site. He came to Menlo Park in 1876. The area was then known as Raritan Township, and later changed (in 1954) to Edison Township. Menlo Park is known as the Birthplace of Recorded Sound (November 1877), and the site of the world's first practical incandescent lamp-light bulb (October 1879). Edison and his staff would create 400 of his most important inventions here. It was this site that Edison would fondly nickname his 'Invention Factory'.

The original Menlo Park buildings began to deteriorate, and by 1926 most of the buildings had either collapsed or burned, and the only two remaining buildings were later moved to Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan. The Thomas A. Edison Memorial Tower was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 30, 1979 as an important architectural and commemorative landmark. Wikipedia
