r/Marin

A ton of paramedics, fire trucks, and police, they’ve blocked off the whole street by the elementary school. Seems like an active situation.

Hi Y'all, I'm a spicy girl and a pepper enthusiast. I have an abundance of peppers and am about to make a bunch of different things (sambal ijo, pil nam pla, some serrano hot sauce/salsa, pickled serranos and anaheims). I am not selling anything just wanting to share with my community, mainly because this will be my first time even making the first two items. Anyway, if you're interested in any or all let me know, happy to share! I will be handing some out today and tomorrow. Then making a new batch in a week!

UPDATE! I only was able to do sambal ijo and a chunky serrano chili crisp! The others will happen next week!

We want to move to another home in Marin but don't love the idea of selling, renting temporarily, then buying. Most of our available funds are tied up in the house we currently own. I found Golden Gate Lending Group while researching bridge financing in California. Interested in hearing how others structured a move like this without having two separate moves.

I have a tooth that I think is going to need a root canal and a crown or something along those lines, but I've heard horror stories about dentists that take delta dental charging a crazy amount of money, even with the insurance. Does anybody have a dentist they like that is reasonable with pricing?

I specifically have deltacare, I guess delta dental has a bunch of different plans

Opponents of a fire house closure, who are running for Ross Town Council, wonder if the removal of their campaign signs has [edit] anything to do with their position on the closure. The mayor supported the closure.

[Town Manager Christa] “Johnson, who helped implement the fire station’s closure plan, said at the meeting that Ross was enforcing its 65-year-old sign ordinance consistently. Other nonpolitical signs, including for a Marin Fashion Night, had been recently removed, according to a former Town Council member.”

[Mayor Julie] McMillan insisted that she did not order the removal of any sign, but defended the general policy. 

“We value our rural look,” she said. “We don’t want a bunch of junky signs. We don’t want to be like Novato.”

I work as a barista and I am in my 20s trying to move out. I want to pivot to increase my skills and increase my income. Since I am a barista I am considering bartending, I’ve heard there’s a lot of possible money you could make. But as I have been applying I am overwhelmed with how I communicate my goals and also what’s most likely to land me a job. Should I say I just want to be a server and see overtime if I want to be a bartender at that restaurant? Or should I go immediately to barback? This is my only real food experience. Is the income for bartending vs serving comparable?

Just saw the Tesla gold yellow robo taxi driving down Lucas Valley Road in Marin.
