The legal drinking age in Chula Vista is 21 years. Anyone under that age may not go into a bar or night club--unless it also serves food.
This leaves little for young adults to do in the evenings. Just Java is an funky coffeehouse that caters to that in between age group. It is a popular place to meet people and it is also a cyber-cafe.
Just Java 285 3rd Ave. Chula Vista, CA 9191

Chula Vista Nature Center This picture, taken off the web-site, shows the Nature Center building and part of the marsh area. Those who are interested in nature and conservation will enjoy this small section of the Sweetwater Marsh National Wildlife Refuge.
Set at the west end of "E" Street is a parking lot. Parking is free, a CV Bus will pick you up, also without charge and drive you through the marshy area to the Nature Center.
There are interesting exibits, mainly geared for children, a nature trail and my favorite is a petting pool full of examples of the fish found in the area, including small sharks and a friendly stingray that can be petted.
1000 Gunpowder Point Drive

Local Customs: A Gift To Us All

Every year on the 15th of December the residents of Whitney and Mankato Streets cover their houses with the most spectacular display of Christmas lights, scenes and music for all who drive or walk past, to see.
A simple message of Merry Christmas, Peace on Earth and Good Will Toward Man.
If ever in Chula Vista at Christmas time, take a tour and enjoy the gift.
Whitney and Mankato Streets are between First and Second Avenues in the older residential section of the downtown area of Chula Vista.

Local Customs: Farmer's Market

Every Thursday a section just off Third Avenue is closed to traffic and the Farmer's Market opens up. It's not like the olden days farmers market, more like a street fair with fresh vegetables, fruits, flowers and plants directly from the farmers. Also delicious food and crafted items.
Weekly on Thursday, from 3-6 pm.

Local Customs: Historic Homes in Chula Vista!

Touring ancient cities in Europe and standing in structures built as long ago as the 1400's is more impressive than seeing the home that is pictured here and thinking of it as an historic building. However, each bit of history we save and point out, helps to understand the past and it is interesting to me.
Every year Chula Vista offers us their Historic Home Tour that ends with Tea in the Garden of one of these lovely places. Tickets can be purchased at the Chula Vista Heritage Museum, 360 Third Avenue.
If the date for the tour does not coincide with your visit, check the website for the addresses of houses listed and make your own tour. I grew-up in a Craftman house in CV--which is not on the list--and there are quite a few of them around as well as other styles to see.
