Inspire Me: San Anselmo couple launches Good Vibe Lane

To overcome anxiety caused by COVID-19 and help lift spirits, San Anselmo residents Vanessa Deniston and her partner Kristina Ohlson, transformed Laurel Avenue into Good Vibe Lane — an upbeat and cheery stretch of road with chalk art, welcome signs and positively-messaged posters.

Thanks to the pair’s project, the lane has drawn participants and looky-loos from all over Marin County — folks have arrived by foot, on bikes and in cars, Deniston said, to “soak up all the positive energy” they can “during this dark time.”
