WALK WITH ME
As with most neighborhoods around here, West Mesa is undergoing change. But the spirit of old Santa Barbara isn’t giving up the ghost just yet.

HOT PROPERTY
Last week’s sales: Hotel-like Hope Ranch house for $18.15 million; Hope Ranch house with a jumbo hot tub; an unbuilt house in Summerland for $9 million; midcentury project on the old Knapp estate; and more. See what sold—and for how much.

ODDS & ENDS
••• La Casa de Maria’s rebuilding appears to be stalled.
••• A possible explanation for the inactivity at Vons in Montecito.
••• New art show in the Funk Zone.
••• Book of Mormon and other shows in Broadway Santa Barbara’s 2022-2023 season.
••• The grim new outbuildings at Montecito Union School (above).
