The masses are allowing the loud mouth minority to destroy Old Santa Barbara piece by piece. It's a real shame. It will never become better than it was.
The egg’s function seems to be to densify and compress free-floating gaseous BS into a dense, solid object.
I saw the photo and thought the same thing.
Good eye! That was indeed a dragonfly.
The photo labeled "1508 and 1510 E Mountain Drive by Siteline, Item 3 of 15" has a VERY interesting rust colored flying object 2/3rds up along the left edge! We all see them and I'm guessing, dragon fly.
In the UK, they have fields of rape. Seriously.
I don't think it's a horrible thing to relabel.
Meanwhile, we love organic Sunflower oils, Seasame oils, and (of course) olive oil! It's all about the temperature you cook it at.
So how do you order these bagels if they're always "out of stock" online?
Another question could be why were the RR lights and crossing guards down in the Funk Zone on State & Montecito streets from Friday night to noon on Saturday?
I have seen a thousand staged houses in my lifetime and I have never seen a more creepy situation than that baby carriage. Holy shite!
Truly impressive how the Harmonic Egg manages to incorporate so many different fields of woo woo mathematics into one small space.
Agree, he also changed the historic Montecito Country Club or at least parts of it w/tacky bordello style interiors. Used to be so charming, a slice of old California but no more.
You might be interested in taking a walk out las canoas rd. or mission canyon . If you write about Las Canoas rd.there is a book called Canyon Voices which gives a lot of background stories
The historic Casa de Sevilla restaurant space to be apartments? Another piece of old Santa Barbara going buhbye.
Sad to hear “Covet” has come and gone so quickly from that adorable cottage on Anacapa. I didn’t even know they were there! I would have frequented it! I don’t think the community knew about it.
Erik -
there is a big difference between the WarnerGroup and Warner & Gray.
WarnerGroup formed after 2000. Now Cung is assuming design credit for many of Warner & Gray’s designs which is unethical.
TRU DAT!! I started going to “the Bilge Water” as it was commonly known as by many of us old local peeps about 35 year’s ago before the big remodel! Krista was only maybe 19/20 back then and yes, her braid was almost longer than she was! Fast forward to around 1998 when I started working at the Chandlery . Breakwater was my favorite lunch spot; usually either a tuna melt or just a big bowl of my very favorite Clam Chowder in town! I was there when Eddie asked her to marry him. A bazillion year’s later, Eddie works in the Boatyard alongside my nephew @SBSTAINLESS and Eddie and Krista are living happily ever after!
I was in Lompoc today- gorgeous launch with frightening sonic boom upon return to barge offshore! Great lunch at Happy Mediterranean on East Ocean next to Mobil station- huge vegan menu along side of reg menu- had a tandoor falafel wrap- crunchy pickled turnips, pickled celery and lots of fresh flavor!
I walk through there weekly and it’s still pretty thriving. Lots of plant life.
Vandenberg started an alert system a while back. You can sign up at https://public.govdelivery.com/accounts/USDODSFVANDENBERG/signup/41755
Is anyone at Vandenberg talking about a way to alert residents before a launch (via text or email)? Am I the only one who has a small heart attack every time they do a launch?
Aren’t you busy in Colombia?
How tragic. How on earth does that happen? That is a disgrace. Destroying our beautiful park. Who is in charge?
Ty does have that kind of power. Several years back, maybe 10 by now, he completely shut down two historical public trail easements that had been used since at least the 1940's on the top of East Mtn. Drive to access the McMenemy trail. Fences were put up, security installed, and access is now completely gone at its former locations.
Now, he with the with MTF, is moving the McMenemy trail away from its historical location and away from the SYR's new garden space. The USFS representative who does maintenance on the trail, is completely against moving the trail to its proposed location, due to the consistency to slides during wet weather events. There has been consistent push back by trail users in general, however the plans continue to be implemented for the trails relocation.
After a a visit to SYR last weekend for dinner and seeing in person what has been done to the Plow and Angel, I’m worried about what Ty Warner has in store for the beautiful iconic Biltmore. Outrageous that he has kept it closed for years and now turning it into a Las Vegas style resort is depressing.
We live near these trails and it was confusing what to call them when we moved here. Love the views from near the top. Mira Vista home owner put a coded gate on the entrance during Covid but city was called and it was immediately removed and reopened. If you buy a house on one of the trails you need to accept the foot traffic. Another house on APS with path that goes down to Oramas rd just sold for 5 million so I guess it doesn’t effect sales price too much.
Ok… Ray I am certain you have no business experience and if you do please correct me. Other wise what the heck are you talking about.
Please keep your uneducated opinions to yourself.
Thanks
