Santa Cruz is one of my favorite towns around - not only is the surrounding nature beautiful and the town cute as a button, but it has a progressive cultural and political history. Did you know it was the only government in American that attempted to impeach Bush? Those crazy Santa Cruz’ens. And lots o’ lesbos live there too. College kids and queer families alike.

Saturn Cafe is owned by a queer woman and serves some of the best vegetarian fare on the block. Yes, it is decked out in space paraphernalia including floating planets and bright murals. It is frequented by hot people making it one of the best places to cruise. You can start and end your day there - they serve a yummy brunch and stay open after the bars close to save the starving ‘partiers.’ It’s located at 145 Laurel St. on the corner of Pacific.

Keep walking down Pacific and you’ll hit this vintage clothes store called Retro Paradise. They have only been open for two years and I would argue that they have the best selection in town. I talked with one of the owners, Leopoldo A. Santos, who shared with me he is also the buyer and the guy you’ll find working the counter everyday. 1010 C-D Pacific Ave.

This is a picture of my shoe inside of Retro Paradise. They carry nice used boots. But if you are looking for kicks like mine head across the street to my favorite shoe store Old School Shoes. 1017 Pacific Ave.

Keep going along Pacific and you’ll hit one of the town’s Independent Movie theaters the Del Mar. It was actually closed down for years and recently re-opened and is now the home of the Santa Cruz film festival. 1124 Pacific Ave.
