Check out SpotMojo  Spotmojo is a place where you can ask for the businesses you want. Is there a business, a restaurant or maybe cafe that you wish was located downtown? Or maybe a good lunch spot or place to get drinks? Spotmojo connects the community with businesses, and businesses with spaces. With the community's feedback it helps businesses know where they're needed and where they can be successful. Spotmojo gives you a voice in the businesses that open in your neighborhood. You can suggest and vote for the things you want. You no longer have to wait and just hope the empty space down the street is filled with something useful for you. Spotmojo is good for the community and the environment
Maybe the shops and restaurants you like do exist, but they're a good drive away in another city. By getting them closer to you, you save gas and the environment. By doing more dining and shopping locally you benefit the city you live in. It all starts with YOU suggesting the things you want in your neighborhood. You can suggest restaurants, shops, other businesses you want where you live, work, or wherever you find yourself regularly. |

Martinez Historical Society
The Martinez Historical Society was created in 1973 to save this 1890 cottage and its site from becoming another parking lot in downtown Martinez. Convinced that our city's history deserved a repository where papers, documents, photographs and artifacts could be housed, we prevailed upon the City of Martinez to join with us in acquiring use of the "Borland House" for our purpose. A lease was obtained from the Contra Costa College District, and we took possession in February, 1974. More...

John Muir National Historic Site 
Fruit Rancher, Family Man, Writer... Father of the National Park Service!
John Muir played many roles in his life, all of which helped him succeed in his role as an advocate for Nature. As America's most famous naturalist and conservationist, Muir fought to protect the wild places he loved, places we can still visit today. Muir's writings convinced the U.S. government to protect Yosemite, Sequoia, Grand Canyon and Mt. Rainier as national parks.
