"Everything is a railway junction 

where past and future are sliding 

over one another, not touching."

                    Timothy Morton

"That’s the place to get to - nowhere. 

One wants to wander away 

from the world’s somewheres, 

into our own nowhere."

             D.H. Lawrence

“Change is like that: you are 

no longer where you were; 

you are not yet where you will get; 

you are nowhere exactly.”

Our Town Novato

A  L  O  H  A !

“All journeys have 

secret destinations

of which the traveler 

is unaware.” 

                   Martin Buber

Novato California's 

first train station 1875

Northwestern Pacific Railroad 

comes to Town!

[and photo at top]

 This first train depot was  the beginning 

of  “New Town”  Novato. 

Many commercial buildings were built 

along Grant Ave. near the station. *

[Previously the town center was closer to the Novato Creek

where the weekly schooner brought visitors in need of

our legendary healthful climate, and took Novato's excellent

produce down to San Francisco to feed the City.]

"Silence is a profound melody, 

for those who can hear it 

above all the noise."

Hands Long Gone Drove These, 

Opening The Road & Future

"Be thankful for the efforts 

of people who worked 

hard to get you 

where you are."
