San Rafael Sightems

Litchfield's Sign (San Rafael) - Marin County  2026

Walking around with a Sony RX100 while the Highlander was being serviced.

"Dubbed “California’s Las Vegas,” Litchfield’s Bermuda Palms was the place to be during the ’60s and ’70s. Built in the late 1940s by Irving “Whitey” Litchfield, a millionaire construction mogul, the resort had a luxury swimming pool, color television, nightly dancing and rooms for under $10 a night."

Pigeons (San Rafael) - Marin County  2023

These pigeons like to hang out by the Whole Foods market in San Rafael. They decided to fly off just as I walked by. Just as I walked by with my iPhone ready.

Buckle Up Kidz - Marin County  2022

Hm. That "Z" used to be an "S" 10 years ago

Alas, Terrapin Crossroads has now closed. And I never availed myself of an opportunity to have any draft beer there!

White Truck / Tacos

 

White Truck, Tree - San Rafael  2021

Tacos El Tucan - San Rafael  2021

The taqueria is going into what used to be Pier 15 - one of our favorite hamburger places. Oh well!

[UPDATE: Apparently the new restaurant is going to be a big deal. "Later this year, El Tucán, one of the East Bay’s very best taquerias, will open a new outpost on the San Rafael waterfront that’s larger and even more ambitious than its original Richmond location."]
