I love the fact that Santa Monica has so many unique, independent businesses.  I can get everything I need by foot, bike or bus…from amazing fresh produce at the farmers’ markets, locally-made jewelery (BBB bus token earrings are a favorite!), surfboards, green cleaning products, vintage furniture…and even a proper British pint!  And then there’s that lovely beach….I love Santa Monica!
