forefront of technological innovation. He will also be discussing California’s history from the Gold Rush to how Silicon Valley became the place
for risk-takers.
MacNiven has owned Buck's for nearly three decades, so you can imagine he has seen and heard his fair share. Being in the heart of Silicon Valley, Buck's Restaurant is a place where dreams come true. Netscape, PayPal, and Tesla are only a few start-ups out of many that were conceived at Buck's.
