KTIM FM
(Preview)
In the mid 70's KTIM on 5th Ave in San Rafael had album oriented rock that rivaled the best from The City and in the mid 80's it had excellent indie style new age/rock/jazz etc and were called The Wave and then The Tide.
I enjoyed both those incarnations and think Marin deserves it's own media.

I really enjoyed the pics in "Spotlight"
It would be nice to show the location under them for folks who can't remember most of them.
I'm drawing a blank on just three;
Lorenzo's
Mac's, A Restaurant & Bar

Anybody know the exact locations of any of these ?
