Yay for Alo!
I agree major disappointment. Not needed.

Oh my a mortuary, the HOA will appreciate that one.
The EllPort Bluffs? The Degeneres Preserve?
Michael Douglas already beat you to the old Wilcox Property, but there are plenty more you could immortalize.
Hopefully, before Ty Warner does? <––(since emojis are not supported here)
Are we talking about Pizza Mizza in the former (it will always be) Acapulco space? Or Mizza the Italian restaurant on State? Are they the same company? I’m confused!
Gelsons 3305 State.
The sign at the former “Mizza” now reads Santa Barbara Courthouse Distillery and Events. So it looks like Sb restaurant guy and his readers were right. There’s still a mizza menu there but mizza, as a restaurant, has gone under.
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!
