This are Majestic Buildings. Doesn't the public get any rights to enjoy the heritage of these wonderful buildings? Couldn't the people mandate they don't allow these buildings to be destroyed and have public access to learn and share the history?
Devastated by this news, always a must stop when coming through SB
That is real bad news. Homeowners insurance will treat it a lot like a flood, your homeowners insurance will not cover it. It as a non-covered event. Taking back by nature and excluded on your policy.Santa Barbara county may look at it the same too. you just lost your property. SOL. very sad, but a very clear and obvious risk of placing a home on the side of a big hill.
Extremely thorough. Thank you for the work you do!
Just saw the shoe for the first time!!! Headed home (Monterey county) from Vacation in San Diego.
I went to the Building Department and asked to see the plans. I think it's in a pre-application phase, so it hasn't shown up on any agendas yet.
I also cannot understand this. It really seems like an odd choice all around.
Seven stories tall next to the Mission?! Erik, would you be so kind as to share where you’re following the latest on that project? I’ve googled the address but am not getting much. Is someone else reporting on it or are you accessing information through one of the city building / permitting portals? Thanks!
The Sperling family through their charitable San Roque school Trust has lost interest in education once their children finished school. Now instead of being charitable and doing something for the community they are looking to make a profit.
I’m so excited about Little Alex’s rebirth. I used to eat lunch at their Montecito location often. Can’t wait to grab a bite at Five Points!
Would someone please ask the relevant city official to explain why they decided to locate it such as to require closing Carrillo St, a busy crosstown street, instead of putting the entire market above or below Carrillo where its impact on traffic flow would be much less?
The Santa Barbara Police Department is building a new headquarters on the parking lot that's currently the site of the Saturday farmers' market.
I agree. There is nothing wrong with where the farmers market is now. Why is it moving?
In the funk zone at the Love marketplace, near Mony’s
Wow, back in the day my Grandma built the house at 1131 Las Alturas road, hope it's okay.
Cagami Ramen responded to a comment on their Instagram saying they'll be in the Hollister Center! ????????????????????
I'm happy to pay for quality but what I can't understand is how people can even eat it. It's so salty it literally makes people ill. I love salt. I liberally salt my food. I've been known to drink dumpling dipping sauce like a shot. I think fish sauce is liquid gold. But Revolver is so sodium-loaded I cannot even get through one piece. It's in everything, even the dough. I thought it might be a one-off but after trying it maybe 3-4 times in the last few years I gave up. We recently had dinner with friends and the topic came up and they mentioned the exact same thing completely unprompted by us. I really don't get it. I don't like to disparage a local business but the food is literally inedible. It's a shame because everything else about it is delicious and their caesar is killer. It boggles the mind how they have so many positive reviews. I thought I liked salt more than the average person but apparently I was wrong.
Revolver must be some of the most expensive pizza in the US.
A margherita is $25, which is $6 more than Bettina.
I have never understood the reasons for moving the Farmer's Market to Carrillo Street instead of using the Tuesday State Street market area that is already in place. Using a large street with a lot of traffic just doesn't make sense. I can't recall seeing any explanation for not using State Street.
Oh - she absolutely did own MSG - since the ‘20’s. Did own the entire building at 905 5th & both penthouses + front half of 8th floor - her Mothers apartment. She hired the founder of Santa Barbara Solstice Michael Gonzalez to take care of her Art is why his name was on 12E. She loved her house in Hawaii, her favourite - ‘30’s Hawaiian style! I visited her there in the eighties, many times at Bellosguardo from 1977 to 2007, and at her penthouses in 1983. She also rebuilt her house outside Denver in 1994 and still had the apartment in Paris where she grew up. They couldn’t go back there after her Sister died - “too painful, all her school Art hanging on the walls,,,”. Everyone who knew her knew she was the richest girl in America for many decades, and they included all the people at the Top ~ like Dina, Zuckerman, and tragically, th IRS who ignored her True Will she was decades long verifying. She fired Jon Douglas in 2007 for ignoring her specific instructions, the crooked lawyers brought him back after her stroke saying”tough, she can’t do anything about it now!” and then the California lawyer gets himself on the board of this bogus Foundation. Her Mother, Sister, and cousin are buried across the wall in the cemetery, where she told me “there are two spaces left, one for me & one for you.” They are in an almost straight line from the barn at the cemetery edge. Instead they stuck her in the Bronx w/ his first family ~ whom she had nothing to do with as she said they had been really mean to her & worse to her Mother. These are the True Facts as some of her real friends & of course GOD know!
In the late 90s a friend's rental house on the Riviera began to slide and crack, and FEMA came in and helped them out. Sorry for these folks, it must have been scary. Makes me want to find some solid bedrock to build on.
Tad, your slandering of Jon Douglas is offensive.
Tad darling--sources please. You clearly have inside information that NOBODY can corroborate.
Love that idea. Have been to Park Guell in Barcelona and it was lovely.
who are you talking to??
