••• The redevelopment of 335 S. Milpas Street is on the May 26 agenda of the Architectural Board of Review, and I vaguely recall that we knew the Tri-County Produce building would be spared (“with a new 4,071-square-foot addition, new 1,047-square-foot outdoor patio, and reconfiguration and expansion of the existing parking lot to include a total of 45 automobile parking spaces”), but I can’t find any record of that, so here are the latest renderings (courtesy Cearnal Collective). To the east will be “a new 45-unit (including three very-low-income units and one moderate-income unit), four-story residential building with a roof deck and ground-level parking garage containing 47 automobile parking spaces.” The rounded corners are a nice touch.
••• The Eddy and Favorites have partnered on a version of the classic souvenir T-shirt. It’s available at both shops.
••• The Barber Shop will be moving into 429 State Street (Haley/Gutierrez)—owner Jorge Salgado bought the building.
••• “Those tile Ns are found throughout town,” commented J. about last weekend’s Where in Santa Barbara…? “One is on the end of the La Cumbre Road overpass on the Hope Ranch side. For a decade I’ve wondered who put them there and what do they mean?” Anyone know more about it?
••• I’m thinking of going to Paris San Luis Obispo this summer. Anything I shouldn’t miss?
••• From R.: “I was walking from Cabrillo to Butterfly Beach and I thought I saw the top of the infamous Red Freeway Stiletto. It was on the lawn of the house at Channel Drive and Fairway Road. I attached a badly zoomed-in picture so you’ll have to see it for yourself in person or take my word for it.” I went over and applied my tall-person skills to the problem. (I wouldn’t normally shoot over a fence into someone’s yard, but perhaps this qualifies as an asking-for-it situation?) A friend who knows the homeowner, however, says the shoe is actually a replica of the famous Highway 101 stiletto (stolen last year), made as a gift for the man who apparently has everything, and it has been there for quite a while.
