This article is about our home for the last 4 years, we used to live in nearby Concord for 12 long years [1987-1999] since coming to America on Sept. 7, 1987.
Anyway, Martinez is not quite the world-famous "Beverly Hills 90210" near Hollywood, but it's a quaint little town by the water with some nice sites, as you're about to see in this article.
Hope you like the pics & this article, cheers!!!
