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
My favorite ever: brand new Mercedes sedan: NAGNAG
Jule Hus, the christmas store in Solvang, is a treasure! One of my top 5 questions is, “where is the christmas store?”
Seeing this is like hearing someone is pregnant = hope for the future
I agree!
End of the harbor?
Great, more coffee, pizza, and Mexican food. How refreshing. Totally don’t have way too much of all of that in SB already. The boring trifecta of food keeps spreading. It’s like a virus.
Gazebo at Alice Keck?
I know, some of our favorites for sure!
Bettina’s, Corazon, third Window and Dart coffee all together!? I may need to move down to Carp.
I’m with you, Jill. From this point forward, “The Good Cougar” will be its unofficial official name.
Where is the Hot Springs video!
Zaca Lake has some crazy juju running thru it- while beautiful, there is a force to be reckoned with blowing thru the trees. Beautiful stellar jays will steal your lunch crumbs! I need to hear the road has been fixed and is passable- no bus or trash truck has been back there in years
With regards to the Rosewood Miramar, the authors comment about the ritzy, high end shops reminding him of Tom Bradley international terminal at LAX, the planned addition of Chanel & Loro Piano bring me visions of armed “Smash-n-Grab” type burglaries. Easy off, easy on, freeway access as an added bonus.
909 Park Lane is the house where the 2022 homicide occurred. Proceeds from the sale supposedly go to a charity.
