Hmmm ... Must have been a lively meeting.
Which slogan to go with?
"Marin: It's Just a Little Out There" or "Marin County: Come to Where the White Folks Are"?

Grew up in Marin during the early sixties. Marinwood, Terra Linda, San Rafael area. Nice middle class bedroom suburbs. Left in 66 and came back in 72 after tours in VN and went to Marin JC for a while. Lived all over the county, Mill Valley, San Anselmo, Novato and the place had turned into a hippy commune. To much was not enough, peacock feathers and hot tubs, not to mention the herbs from further north.
Place got sad and I left in the 80’s.
But whatever happened to Marine City? Large black community near Sausalito just before the Waldo grade? I believe it grew from blacks that came and worked in the boat yards during WWII. Haven't been back in 30 years.
