1. BART Board President, Ex-Dublin Mayor Announces Run For Congress (patch.com) — Dublin residents are seeing a familiar face step onto the national stage as former mayor and current BART Board President Melissa Hernandez launches a congressional bid after Eric Swalwell’s decision to run for governor. With more than three decades in Dublin and a record on housing, open space, transportation, and mental health projects, she’s positioning her local experience as a foundation for tackling rising living costs and broader regional challenges.
   

2. Tri-Valley Indoor Gun Shop And Range Closing (patch.com) — A long-running Dublin gun shop and indoor range, Guns, Fishing & Other Stuff on Amador Plaza Road, is preparing to close as its owners retire. After more than a decade serving Tri-Valley shooters and anglers, the shutdown will leave fewer local options for firearms training and outdoor gear, disappointing customers and even competitors.
   

3. Dublin: Single-family residence sells for $1.4 million (mercurynews.com) — A Westport Way home in Dublin just sold for about $1.36 million, offering two bedrooms, three baths, and three parking spots on a 4,326-square-foot lot. Recent nearby sales on Roscommon Way and Belcarra Court show how prices for larger four-bedroom homes have climbed over the past few years, giving residents a clear snapshot of current neighborhood values.
   

4. A prank Hooters sign in Mill Valley sparked outrage, confusion, and memes after the town lost its Whole Foods (sfstandard.com) — A prank sign announcing a new Hooters at a former Mill Valley Whole Foods stirred confusion and jokes, prompting a reporter to investigate whether the chain was really coming. In explaining Hooters’ Bay Area footprint, the story notes that earlier locations in Fisherman’s Wharf, Fremont, and Dublin closed years ago, offering a quirky reminder of a bygone local restaurant.
