San Rafael

The San Rafael Thursday-night farmers' market downtown is one of the biggest in California and genuinely fun — food stalls, live music, and Fourth Street closed to cars. Tell your visitor to come hungry and skip dinner plans. The Rafael Film Center a block away if they want to cap it with an indie movie.
The teachers, nurses, line cooks, and shop staff who keep Southern Marin running mostly commute in from Sonoma or the East Bay because they can't afford to live near their jobs. Workforce housing at Tam Junction, tied to actual income limits, would shorten those commutes and keep the local businesses staffed.
