So you're looking for something fun to occupy your free time? For those who are new to the area, and if you're looking for culture, old world charm and good coffee, Mar Vista is the place to land. Once there, folks rarely move. Mar Vista is full of beautiful tree lined streets, healthy lawns, and neighbors who have known each other for many, many years. A place to settle and enjoy a history many are clueless to, Mar Vista is located at the corners of three local towns many have heard of, Santa Monica, Venice and Culver City.

As you begin to explore the different sites in Mar Vista, here's a few things to consider checking out:

• Sunday Mar Vista Farmer's Market. www.marvistafarmersmarket.org
• The strip of merchants on Venice Boulevard between Centinela and Grandview.
• Venice Grind. The coffee shop is run by born and bred locals, the Mavromichalis Family. They serve up hot brewed organic coffee; baked goods and is has been reported they have the best tamales you will ever taste. www.venicegrind.com
• Beethoven Market, which was built on the corner of Palms Boulevard and Beethoven Street in 1949.
