I took a break from this virtual tour to do a real tour again after 3 years due to the COVID pandemic.

Fairfax

In learning about Fairfax I learned that the roots of the hot tub culture may be traced there.
An artist, Al Garvey designed and made a redwood hot tub outside their home in 1966.  He and his wife, Barbara, started inviting guests to join them as they soaked in the hot water. Al and Barbara are know for other things and you may wish to explore for yourself. We owned a hot tub for many years and entertained many visitors, but ours was not redwood.

Lark Theater in Larkspur.
Larkspur has a historic downtown and the theater is part of that.  Originally built in 1936 and renovated in 2004.  It is so good to see this happen.  A local theater in a town near me could not get interest from investors to preserve it and now it is rubble.
