• A-List Movie Star Spotted At Mill Valley Salad Restaurant, Poses With Staff (patch.com) — Tom Holland quietly stopped in for lunch at the MIXT salad restaurant in Mill Valley this week, happily posing for a photo with staff after ordering two of their signature bowls. His visit adds to growing sightings of Holland and Zendaya around Marin, fueling speculation they may now own a local home and could become familiar faces around town.
   

• This Week In Food: Spider-Man In Marin? (sfist.com) — Tom Holland was recently spotted grabbing salads at MIXT on East Blithedale Avenue in Mill Valley, even pausing to take a selfie with staff, adding some Hollywood buzz to a regular weekday. The broader roundup covers new and upcoming restaurant projects in San Francisco and Burlingame, plus a closure near Union Square, but the Mill Valley sighting stands out for locals wondering about rumored celebrity neighbors in nearby Tiburon.
   

• The whitest town in the Bay Area proposed affordable housing. Then some neighbors blocked it as segregation (sfchronicle.com) — Mill Valley's long-debated Bayfront Terrace affordable housing project near Hauke Park is stalled in court, despite unanimous City Council approval and $1 million in committed funding. Supporters say the 45-unit complex is crucial to easing segregation, meeting state housing quotas, and keeping workers in town, while opponents argue it concentrates low-income housing and harms nearby parkland.
