I'm not from there, but I visited as a kid. My grandfather was a commercial fisherman. He caught crab and salmon out of the San Fransisco Bay. They lived in a Duplex. My great grandmother lived downstairs. She always gave me Toll House cookies and milk, but it always smelled like there was some sort of natural gas leak. 

My grandfather and step-grandmother lived upstairs. It was the coolest house ever.

Mill valley is magical, like a town you would see in a movie.

 I grew up in Whittier, CA. It wasn't as nice. We had gangs. 🤣
