Now imagine when they take that same approach for the State St. pedestrian promenade.
Re: rent freeze. City council should consult with the city attorney and brush up on state law before wasting city staff time on a measure that violates state law. Will they also freeze insurance rates? No. Will the freeze utility rates? No. Will they freeze property taxes? No. Will they freeze the rates plumbers/electricians charge to make repairs? No.
Re the Goleta Library. Why does this happen so often. There’s such a hurry to close things to the public (or cut down trees) for projects that are nowhere near ready to start
The same thing is happening at Dwight Murphy baseball field. Kids lost the entire summer and it’s been eight months there too. Nothing has happened at the baseball field except putting up a fence to close it off. I don’t understand why construction can’t be staged to reduce downtime and public resources are allowed to sit idle for so long. Not sure who benefits from this approach but it’s not the public. Why not wait to close stuff until it’s ready to go?
“A heavy/super-heavy launch capability at VSFB offers a strategic advantage to the USSF, enabling the deployment of larger, more capable military satellites and facilitating rapid response missions during national security emergencies. Adding heavy/super-heavy launch capabilities at VSFB enhances resilience, diversifies the government’s portfolio, and accelerates satellite constellation reconstitution due to increased lift capacity,” according to the solicitation
WOW! This obviously has been the plan, all along- confusing Salud Carbajal- someone needs to tell him we see thru his comical “hatred” of Elon Musk- he knows, as we know- the future lies in space and big BOOMS get us there! GO ELON GO!
Ellen is COMING HOME! TDS be damned!
Well said thank you for eloquent comments
Erik: In your last post, you mentioned thoughts of 'how to proceed' or 'add to' your business. With your extensive knowledge of viewing properties and your good sense of what sells and why a property commands an upper or lower price; I would think you could easily add a great service at a very good price as a 'finish design coordinator' working with sellers and agents to perfectly prepare a home for sale. I did this as an independent Designer/Broker for my own listings which I am proud to say always sold quickly and at great prices!!! I had other agents ask me for assistance and input so I know there could be a market for you. Yes, there are stagers but this is having more knowledge of the market to know preparation for the right pricing. Happy to discuss further and might be fun to include Lee.
Lee has my vote for the most amazing 'spiffer-uppers' ever done in Montectio. We can all learn from her design genius!!!
Himalayan Kitchen 400 block of State has closed . Nepali owners moved out of state.
Your promoting donuts and fried chicken! Wow..... Bubba's is awesome. Liberal tunnel vision is bizarre. Go Trump, Go!
Far West guns has been like this for I think over a year? What I've heard was the owner went out of town (possibly for some kind of family emergency?) and just never returned. I live nearby and they've had notices, missed deliveries, etc. posted on their door forever all the while the inside stays untouched. It comes up from time to time on Reddit where I have read people placed orders and were charged for merchandise they never received since the owner went MIA. Customers seemed to think he was a helpful, good guy prior to all of this so it's unclear exactly what happened.

Curious about the Ventura location of Muni. You say The Avenue but...???
If Bubba Gump is thinking about opening there, it's clear they haven't done any market research. I can't imagine it would last long if they actually opened. At least I hope not.
Erik, you are most welcome..... I've been know to do a few of my own"spiffer-uppers".
Interesting- Zookers in Carp is doing a fantastic job with their meat market. Best sandwiches in the area as well.
Be nice if Siteline did some sleuthing on whether Rudy's in Carp is going to re-open after the fire.
Manifuttura has a several week wait so enjoy Apertivo until you can get a reservation. It is a wonderful group of people.
Agree it’s a disaster. The service started going downhill during the pandemic and it never came back. The new owners should either shut it down to reorganize or start managing the place asap. Otherwise it is going to be a failure for them.
Why has Aperitivo stopped serving pasta???
This wasn't about you or your fantasy business
Really enjoy all the great info you provide, Erik. I very much hope you will keep it going!
Bubba Gump? Oh, god, no.
Another disappointing and last visit to El Encanto. We recently went for a meal and were finally able to use our gift certificate after several phone calls with concierge. (On a previous visit we'd be told ahead of time that "yes" we'll honor it" only to be declined once dining). The meal was okay, sadly understaffed and more sad was the morale of the staff. It's obvious that they are not enjoying or taking pride in their work as they once did. This is because they don't have a relationship with the management, because the new owners obviously don't care. We were assured that we would be able to use the balance of our gift certificate up until mid-January. Today upon being seated we were told we would be unable to order two things because of broken equipment. Once the bill arrived once again the new management wouldn't honor our gift certificate! We miss the once lovely, elegant and classy El Encanto. A real gem in our town has been lost.
Also Anchor Rose is selling all furniture and equipment on Facebook marketplace
That grill has been hanging off the cliff like that for a few years. The homeowner refuses to do anything about it. But if you look at old listing photos, it’s clear that there has been a tremendous amount of erosion in the last 10-15 years.
5297 Austin recently sold at auction at a massive discount due to the geological concerns. There was a fair amount of disclosure about the issue in the listing, if you’re curious.
