Editor’s note: This is part of an occasional series of stories about local holiday shopping options. The annual Christmas market hosted by Raven Lenz Pinson returns this month with a new name and more than 170 vendors. The market, now called Marshall’s Mistletoe Market on Main, is in its sixth year. The family-friendly shopping experience in downtown Marshall is scheduled 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 21. Vendors will be lined up starting on the 300 block of Washington Avenue to the courthouse square near Rüeggenbach Brewing Co. Live music will follow the market from 4 to 6 p.m. at Telegraph Park featuring Pepper Holt, who will make his first appearance in Texas since he moved to California. “It’s grown every year, and I think the more people that find out about it, (the more) we’re pulling vendors from further away, and even other states,” Lenz Pinson said.

This article was originally published by LAist on Nov. 12, 2026. Topline: El Niño is making the California coast much warmer than usual, and scientists are concerned about coastal flooding. Unseasonably warm waters: The ocean temperatures along a stretch of coast from Sonoma County down to Ensenada, Mexico, are 10 degrees warmer than average. In a webinar Thursday, University of California climate scientist Daniel Swain stressed how unusual the current heat wave is, describing it as “mind-boggling” and “record-shattering.” “I’m using all the superlatives in the book because I think they’re appropriate,” Swain said. Exceeding records: The water temperatures in nearly every location are higher than any measured during the cold season in recorded history.

Nearby: Richmond, CAShare Tweet By Kathy Chouteau The Richmond Standard In Richmond, a small cabinet can carry a big message: dinner is here, no questions asked. Richmond Area Mutual Aid (RAMA) has created a map of current Little Free Food Pantries across the city. The neighborhood outposts encourage anyone to take what they need and leave what they can. The map connects residents with pantries that may be as simple as a shelf, box or cabinet outside a home or business. According to RAMA’s website, the spaces can hold shelf-stable groceries and fresh produce that can safely spend some time outside refrigeration. The operating principle is as clear as the group’s motto: “Give what you can, take what you need.” One of the map’s sites is near 34th Street and Roosevelt Avenue, where Achala Jayagoda and her family host a pantry that began as a Little Free Food Table during the pandemic. Her son, Eagle, founded it. The pantry has since grown into a lasting neighborhood resource.
