""There's this coffee shop next to the surf shop next to the taco shop,""
""This is the dream. There is nothing else I would ever need.""
""They lay me off," he said. "And I thought, 'Wow, OK. What are you going to do with your life?' I was sitting over there at the junction by myself outside, you know, it's 7 in the morning, and nobody's there.""
Adam Cohen, a 39-year-old father and U.S. Navy veteran, parlayed a pandemic tech layoff into a local online persona centered on Tam Junction. He moved to Marin in 2018 with his wife and began spending mornings at a quarter-mile stretch of shops and eateries. After the 2021 layoff, Cohen launched a blog called Tam Glad to tell stories about businesses and people around the junction. The project evolved into the viral Marin Dad identity that highlights local coffee shops, surf and taco shops, and turned the neighborhood into a popular social media corner.
