The ever-more-popular ferry services into San Francisco are really worth a try either for leisure or for commuting. The high-speed ferries take just 30 minutes to get you from Larkspur to San Francisco (and the older boats taking a leisurely and more ponderous 45 minutes).
 
The ferries provide some of the very best views of The [...]

Over the past few weeks, we have seen the destruction wildfires can bring to communities in the Western States. Those who lived through the fire in the East Bay Hills can attest to the utter destruction and fear wrought by wildfires. Over the past few days, the news has reported suspicious grass fires in Marin. Indeed, there [...]

There are lots of reasons people love Marin County, California—the proximity to San Francisco, the easy commute, the weather, the dedicated open space, the beaches, the Bay, the Golden Gate Bridge, the lack of crime, and the list goes on. But, for many, the biggest reason is the schools. It is well known that Marin schools are outstanding and have tremendous parental [...]

For the first time in 30 years, mandatory water conservation is going into effect in Marin County.  The North Marin Water District (which serves Novato) has enacted some mandatory measures which will remain in place until October 28, 2007.  Many of us recall the extreme water situation of 1976–1977, which required drastic measures in order to prevent Marin from going [...]
