Hey Ellen & Portia,
How about buying the TeeTime property on the Carpinteria Bluffs and give it to the people as Open Space! We'll name it after you. Otherwise it is destined to become a resort which nobody in the area wants, except the developer. Be heroes!
Afraid not....
The moxi?
My goodness, Ellen. That's certainly the oddest transaction I think I've ever heard of. Hope it makes the next memoir (I hope to ghostwrite for you one day). There's gotta be a tale there, right?
Let me know if you're interested in a property on the Mesa that's not yet on the market? The one-storied, 3 bed/2 bath teardowns that are being rebuilt on the original 1959 floorplans are selling for well over FOUR million now. That may be pennies on your dollar, but half the fun is saying, "There's no way that's going to sell for that––OMG––it just SOLD."
Hope to see y'all a bit more around town and it's fun having you local.
Some nasty landlord behavior going on it seems. The more things change the more they remain the same unfortunately.
Devastated at the news about Stella Mare. A lovely restaurant with great food and service. If the lease holders are keeping the building why on earth are they booting Stella Mare out ????
That’s extremely unlikely. The owner will almost certainly find another tenant for it.
What will become of Stella Mare’s building? Is it to be tore down?
Not another nugget!!! :(
Thanks for the great updates Erik!
Nope, but thanks for guessing!
SBCC?
I’ve heard La cantina is opening next month! From Dave’s dogs himself
Thank you for the kind words! Just to be clear, however, I don't sell real estate. I do sell ads, many of which are for real estate.
Great news round up. I really, really hope Chaucer’s changes their book shelves setup and makes it a more open air space. Also, SCE closing the trail to fix its own damage oh la la
Yeah, I saw the OZEMPIC one as well (@ Alta Ortho) and thought that was pretty bold. ????
My girlfriend and I saw TESLA (@ Chuck's) and were surprised that Elon hadn't bought all those up in the 50 States! ????
Erik, I wanted to say how much I appreciate and enjoy all of the local news and antidotes you post in your newsletter and website. I hear about things here that I often haven't seen or heard elsewhere. The rise and fall of local businesses is full of its own delights and disappointments, but it's always good to know.
I know you're here to sell real estate, but I appreciate that you're also doing a public service.
Thank you and keep up the good work! ????????
Refugio has lost it's ring of palms- they have been sawed off
So much fun!
A friend works for Oracle. ELCARO
Seen around SB; The Nag
My favorite so far in SB has been a black Subaru (I think?): GOTHDAD
This afternoon in front of the Solvang business I work at- white tesla SLVANG EV
Every once in a while, you'll see a Tesla where the owner is clearly able to poke a little fun at themselves or the car - behold, one of my all time favorites, PNLGAPS

These are great! I have an ongoing game with my husband and friends called Tesla D****ebags and the rule is the vanity plate has to reference that it is a Tesla, it is electric or that is is eco friendly. We have seen a shocking amount in Santa Barbara alone, over 35 of these plates! Some favorites are: TESLA SB, THX A WAT, EV WHIP, 0 CARBZ, JA VOLT, MUSK and simply, TESLA.
Keep your eye out for them! It’s a fun and dumb scavenger hunt.
2 are Michelin bib restaurants and third window does smashburgers and pizza. All excellent.
my fav: TUBERIDR for Channel Islands finest, of course
