Calling all Mill Valley Peetniks! Don’t Be Sad – We’re Here for You! Starting November 4th at 7am, Sweetwater Music Hall’s Café Will Be Open & Proudly Pouring Peet’s. Café’s Open 7 days a week, 7am-7pm!
As coffee lovers can attest, there’s been lots of Sturm & Drang in recent months about the future of Peet’s Coffee at 88 Throckmorton in downtown Mill Valley. The Peet’s Coffee store in Mill Valley has been part of the company success that began in 1966. Peet’s opened its first Bay Area store in Berkeley in 1966 and the Mill Valley location was opened in 1987. Peet’s determined in recent months that the size of the 88 Throckmorton space no longer matched the customer experience of the other successful Peet’s shops elsewhere in Marin County. Rather than simply move on, the ever-creative folks, legendary Sweetwater Music Hall saw an opportunity to keep Peet’s in downtown Mill Valley.

Read MoreMarin Voice: Sausalito City Councilmember Melissa Blaustein and Mill Valley City Councilmember Katherine Mindel Jones Say It Best: Coordinated Transit Plan Shouldn’t Leave Southern Marin Behind
As elected officials in Southern Marin, we strongly support the goals of the Marin-Sonoma Coordinated Transit Service plan. Consolidating routes, reducing redundancy along the Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit corridor, reinvesting those savings in Southern Marin transit, and creating a more efficient regional system are all smart, forward-thinking objectives. However, good intentions do not always yield good outcomes, and, as currently proposed, it appears the changes to bus routes 17 and 71 will leave Southern Marin communities worse off, not better.
Read MoreOur November Artist is Kieran Strachan, and His Show Title is ‘Benthic Wind Of the Subconscious Ocean.’ First Tuesday ArtWalk is Tuesday, November 4th, 5:30-7:30 pm.
Inspired by the dichotomy of the beautiful West Marin coast and the chaotic pandora’s box of internet culture, the pollution and dilution from the world of the human and the natural world, Kieran creates portals into times past and prophetic future. His works are a cathartic jesters take on the patterns of medieval feudalism, dystopian science fiction and natural landscapes imbued by the power of wind in the trees litany.

Read MoreOn the Heels of a Successful Measure L to Address Infrastructure Needs, City Pivots to Implement an Extension of the Municipal Service Tax for Another Decade to Continue Repairing Roads & Clearing Flammable Brush
Now the City Council and staff are pivoting to an extension of its Municipal Service Tax for another decade to continue repairing roads and clearing flammable brush. That assessment came after City Manager Todd Cusimano reported on the tax, known as the MST, at the City Council meeting on Oct. 20 as part of a strategic discussion that looked at future street repairs and local revenue streams. “We will have to continue with the MST,” he said. “If we do this right over the next 10 years, we’ll be talking about potentially not having to have one of these taxes.” “This is not a forever tax,” added Councilmember Urban Carmel. “This is really the end game, I think, for the next round.”
