Wreckless Strangers Kick off 2025 with a High-Energy Dinner Show at West Marin’s Rancho Nicasio on Saturday, January 11
Wreckless Strangers is a collective of six friends and musicians carrying the torch for San Francisco’s grand rock ‘n’ roll tradition. Their unique stew of “Bay Area Gumbo” melds the contemporary blues stylings of Bonnie Raitt and Boz Scaggs; the songwriting sensibilities of Sons of Champlin and Fleetwood Mac; the swashbuckling Americana of the Lost Planet Airmen and Peter Rowan; and the funk of Sly Stone and Tower of Power with a dash of Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane for flavor and unpredictability.

Read MoreThe Hiker’s Trail Map is Back! With Help From a Group of Dedicated Volunteers, Mill Valley History Society Installed a New & Improved Painted Mt. Tamalpais Hikers Trail Map
The Mill Valley Historical Society installed a new and improved map in the same location as its predecessor on November 15, along with updated historic signage telling its story. The old trail map, painted on redwood siding in 1946, had been protected for approximately 50 years hidden away under siding in its previous location at Clark’s Grocery. When the store was demolished for new development, MVHS procured the map and in 2018, after obtaining agreements from Mill Valley stakeholders, a restored trail map was installed on the wall of 34 Miller. It did not hold up well to weather in its new location, however, and a team of volunteers determined in summer 2024 that it wasn’t feasible to save the original map and replicating the original with new protection was our best choice.

A travel article of what to do in 36 hours in San Francisco, the New York Times wrote that Brandon Jew’s “Chinese-American fast-casual restaurant Mamahuhu is worth a visit for its soft-serve sundaes alone.” Co-founder Ben Moore explains the concept of Mamahuhu as chef Brandon Jew “breathing new life into Chinese-Americans classics we grew up by focusing on creative culinary twists and proud ingredient stories that so many diners value today.” The name “mamahuhu” stems from a Chinese idiom that means “horse horse tiger tiger,” or boiled down to “so-so,” or “just okay” or even “careless,” Moore relates, proving that the restaurant doesn’t take itself too seriously since it’s clearly much better than okay.

At the other end of that Throckmorton Ave. block, there’s also no doubt that another relative newcomer, blockbuster hangout haven for a slightly different clientele is Angela’s Organic Ice Cream, the latest edition in a long line of fantastic ice cream shops in the 94941 (shout out to Baskin Robbins’ incredibly long run ‘til it closed in 2011.) In each case, the lines out the door say it all. Angela’s Organic Ice Cream was originally founded in Petaluma as Lala’s Creamery. Angela Garat and her son, Ignacio, purchased the business and recipes in 2017, and it’s been full speed ahead ever since. There is MUCH more to come, as you’ll read here.
