Hoover Jeopardy

  Tonight's "Final Jeopardy" question, or rather answer, dealt with what 2-word city* the Hoover Tower was located in, and none of the three contenders got it right.  I knew where it was  because I was once stranded at the top of the Hoover Tower.  We were visiting Marilyn, who was teaching a summer youth mathematics course at Stanford.  While she was with her classes, we toured the campus, very large and widespread; it has its own zip code.  We visited the Hoover Tower and took the elevator to the top floor.  I think there were 12 or 15 stories.  I have the ticket stub somewhere so I'll look it up later.  There were probably about a dozen visitors at the top when we were told that the elevator had broken down and we would have to wait for it to be repaired.  They were calling maintenance.  We all waited.  And waited.  We were supposed to meet M for dinner, and time was passing.  Finally, I went to the person at the desk and asked if there was another way down.  Well, yes, she said, but the staircase is locked and we don't have the key here.  If any of us insisted on walking down, they would have to get someone to unlock the staircase, and then we would have to be escorted down.  I said I wanted to walk down the stairs, and as I recall, everybody else did too.  And so we did.  That was years before either of us had any knee issues.  I don't know when they repaired the elevator.
  * The correct response was Loma Linda, but my thought was that the Hoover Tower is in Stanford, which would seem to qualify as a city, though it certainly does not have 2 words in its name.  And I thought Loma Linda was a distance away.  And the site of the Nixon Library?  I'm so confused.
     ****Evidently one of those episodes of "false memory."  The correct Jeopardy answer was Palo Alto.
