Mill Valley Celebrates 125 – Save the Date for the 125th Anniversary Celebration!!

Our intent for the celebration of the 125th Anniversary of the Incorporation of the City of Mill Valley is to bring our community together for a common awareness and commitment to this special town and surrounding community. As part of that effort, the Mill Valley 125th Anniversary Committee is sponsoring a series of articles by noted local historian and author Joyce Kleiner. These articles are intended to foster understanding, and pride, in Mill Valley’s history, and will focus on some of the people and events that shaped Mill Valley’s spirit of stewardship, volunteerism, and community involvement. Our efforts will culminate in a wide range events on Labor Day, Monday, September 1, 2025, including an historically-themed parade, live music, an ice cream social, screenings of historical videos, and tours of the Old Mill.

Karen Goldberg, Owner of Tamalpie and The Warehouse Consignment Exchange, Passes the Baton to Debbie Loughran

After four wonderful years at this location, the time has come for a new chapter. I’m retiring this space and moving on to pursue new projects and passions. To those we’ve had the joy of helping and inspiring through our unique pieces and finds—thank you. Your support has meant everything. It’s been an honor to have a little part of me and the furnishings I’ve loved become part of your homes, your families, and your lives. I’ve truly had a wonderful time. I’m excited to share that I’ve sold the business to another passionate entrepreneur, Debbie Loughran, who will carry on the spirit of what we’ve built. She’ll be expanding the offerings with additional services such as interior design, design-and-build solutions, and upholstery work.

“The work that we do is absolutely amazing, but the extensiveness of the work and the pressure of the work, it never goes away,” Elton said. “I can’t remember the last time I had an actual vacation.

Marin IJ on the 114th Dipsea Race: On the Heels of Chris Lundy’s Trifecta in 2024, Tiburon’s MacLean Makes History With First Win – Congrats to all Dipsea Finishers!

Her sneakers show the miles, but they held up long enough to carry Audrey MacLean to her first Dipsea victory on Sunday morning. With bloody knees and aching feet, MacLean removed her shoes and socks at the aid station after crossing the finish line, but made sure not to lose track of them. “They’re the same shoes I wore in my junior year in high school,” the Redwood High grad said, recalling the 2021 season when she placed 16th at the CIF State Cross Country Division II Championship. On Sunday, Tiburon’s MacLean, 19, crossed the finish line at Stinson Beach to win the 114th Dipsea and made history in the process. She became the first female runner between the ages of 10 and 33 to win the Dipsea — famous for its handicapping system, which has produced a mix of younger and older winners.

Fox KTVU: Outcry as Tamalpais Union High School District Rejects a Petition and Pleas That Sought to Maintain Services for Black Students at the School at Tam High

Some parents thought it would be deeply harmful to roll back this progress and that their removal would not only send a demoralizing message to Black students and families—it would also contradict the district’s stated commitments to equity and inclusion. At a time when many students are still reeling from the trauma of those incidents, continued investment in their success and well-being is not optional—it is a moral and educational imperative.

Open Kimono: As the Mill Valley Music Fest Heads Toward the Four-Year Mark, It’s a Great Reminder of Why We Created It – It’s Not Just a Big Party, It Matters to Us Deeply, and It Supports ALL of Our Amazing Community, and Beyond!

More than anything, The Mill Valley Music Festival is about continuing to be better neighbors to those within and around our community. Whether it’s our years-long support for the We Are One Marin Campaign highlighting BIPOC-owned businesses or our longstanding coverage of inequity in our town, from historic to much more recent and shining a light on discrimination among us, we’re committed to making our town more equitable. That’s not a heavy ask – it’s just connecting the dots toward opportunity.

We’ll continue to strive for ways to use the power of this lil’ music festival to bring both sonic joy and more opportunity to our friends and neighbors
