Not often that I get time to relax, but sitting on such a charming bench, made from love and devotion to dogs and their guardians, is a satisfying thing. Thank you Mr. Jared for your time and commitment to us all.
Duly noted, thanks!
They did fix the builders remedy: https://www.hklaw.com/en/insights/publications/2024/09/california-legislature-passes-major-reforms-for
However… things already started are grandfathered in
Congratulations Gene and team Lucky's!
I was upset that the Butterfly beach bench went missing ... didn't know if the City / County was involved. I used to sit on that bench almost daily with my dogs. Those benches are lovely . Thank you Jared Darlington .... you and your dog benches are much appreciated.
I didn’t think we had any royal people in Montecito being that they broke ties with the royal family and insulted and mocked the queen.
@KSBY is the only on air local news worth watching- their employees can actually have a conversation on air that makes sense, and they ask questions with purpose vs stare blankly after misreading cue card/rolling script. KEYT is pathetic! I listen to my scanner, that way I am up to date on crime✔️
The Lucky's empire keeps on growing: Did you report that a second location of Tre Lune opened in Hollywood on N Sycamore?
I want to know what donation might be required for one Dog Bench. There is a small possibility that one could be placed in Carpinteria.
Palm seems to post most frequently on Facebook (dunno about Insta). Another site is Reddit r/santabarbara It's about the same not-quite-live timeframe as NextDoor, but has more of a "enjoy living your life in SB" and less "get off my lawn" vibe than ND.
Ha! Best comment I've ever read! Not just because it's hilarious, but also incredibly accurate. I forgot about Nextdoor, I thought it had held hands with LinkedIn and walked off into the sunset.
ST, you are freaking hilarious! Keep it coming!
For breaking news there is no other source than the Palm.
When a car flips, he's there. When a bike rides outside the lanes, he's there. When a bartender retires, he's there. When the Mission comes alive and the old men are dressed like boys, he's there. John covers it all and offers a locals' only flavor. He even pronounces Ree Phooff Eeeee Oooo correctly!
John Palminteri is a local gem and a member of a dying breed - the local newsman. Cherish him for when he's gone, there will be no other to replace him.
For last weeks news and gossip from the same 8 people go to EdHat, especially its comment section. For news that reads like a press release written by a PR intern, go to Noozhawk. For ad sponsored content and neo-liberal editorials, go to the Independent. For gossip, The Montecito Journal. For fires and weather related events, KEYT. For a dose of actual news, KCLU / KCRW do a decent job for SoCal related events. And if Nextdoor is on your phone or in your thoughts, bless your heart.
I agree. Also, it is easily available to listen to on your phone through many streaming services (I use tune-in) ; you only need the free version since, with public radio, you don't have to tolerate endless commercials (do donate to them if you value their invaluable service)
KCLU (102.3) is my source for local, breaking news. I listen when I drive and through the NPR website.
Thank you for this lovely article
yes I had noticed this too! Glad that you mentioned it; I was beginning to think I had imagined it.
I lived four blocks from a grade crossing. Quiet during the day, but the first night was a revelation. Every hour every night, a freight train would pass through blowing its horn (long long short long = Morse code for Q “here comes the queen”, a railroad tradition). It was ridiculous.
That's nice that Marisa will be closer to her dad Michael Haskell's longtime amazing Montecito antique emporium of native american and spanish colonial goodies in the Upper Village/SY Rd. Love these locals! Good luck with the move Marisa! xo
Priced to bring in customers but probably increase after a few months
Hayley it sounds like you’re ordering a pizza. Are you serious?? Do you know how difficult it is for restaurant owners to put everything on the line? And along come people like yourself asking for the moon and the sky. I have an idea… why don’t you invest your money and open up a place just like you want? Let’s see what happens
Good info Tina, thanks
While the hedge may benefit from a hard pruning, culturally there probably is another problem causing it to be infested by a disease. Is it the red leaf Eugenia hedge?
Those by default get psyllid And my 30 years of experience, they are more likely to get it if they are water stressed. Quite often plants are water stressed. You have to check what the irrigation is gardeners quite often. Do not check it.
Agriturf can spray
There’s also green worms, aphids, mealy bugs, and if there is a black sticky substance it is called sooty mold, and that is a result of insects, sucking sugar out of the plant and the sugar excreting on leaves, causing the mold. It is a secondary issue but not the actual disease.
Feel free to ask any questions
Ditto!
Unrelated, but the winery in Summerland is closing :( Any idea what might be going in next? I live in Summerland and am hoping it's another wine and/or beer spot - extra points the food is good and it's open past 5 pm. Would love to have another evening hangout on the main drag!!
