Cool, but doubtful this town like giant meat sandwiches enough to keep this afloat.
21 W. Montecito is a few blocks from me. Interesting site for a hotel, the 101 on one side and the train station on the other.
Yes- but a casino in Solvang? Considering the NO VACANCY signs all auto up on Thur/Fri, it just seems a bit…..much.
Good call!
Mary, I agree with you and I am not old (I also lived in Samarkand for years). The Lemon Tree would be considered San Roque and is not directly attached to a quaint little neighborhood. That Quality Inn is a great little, affordable hotel, I hope it doesn't change too much.
Oh I know! I am walk past this location frequently... and while I am sure there are permits and such they're waiting on... I see no signs of life over there. Do you know what the latest delay is? It also is such a good/welcome spot!
Regarding Hotel 21 West, perhaps 21 West Montecito Street?
Es Cochero, the old Mackenzie Market is going to become a coffeehouse/restaurant. The owners are planning on making this location a destination for all of Santa Barbara county. I just read an article in carpinteria magazine about the couple that owns teddy’s seafood & brass bird coffee in carpinteria they also own several other businesses and own the Mackenzie market and are planning on doing a dual concept of their places in Carpinteria.
You should check out the article.
Many hotels hire out a chain to help with managing day to day operations and also to provide a greater outreach to potential clientele. This is standard in the industry.
Must have pipeye truck at big brand after 7 pm every day except monday i think. Delicious, Well 7-Eleven now is closed and joins the abandon buildings. It just makes Milpas look more dilapidated. I think it's going to be the future sight of a mix Hotel and Apartments, joining the four-story at Capitol hardware to fully impact the area. Tobacco store opened up across from Super Rica conveniently located to all the schools. Nice picture it makes me sad to see the current state of the neighborhood. So much potential being run down chronically on the east side
appreciate the descriptions & your review!

I just noticed your ad for Broad Street Oyster Co so thought I would share my recent experience. My sister was visiting and loves lobster so thought we would try a lobster roll from Broad Street and I have to say it was delicious! We tried the cold with mayo version... it was served on a warm roll with a very light mayo dressing which didn't overpower the lobster flavor. I was also pleasantly suprised by the shaded and spacious back patio. I recommend giving it a try!
ROOAAAAR! You tell ‘em Mary
can you please look further into this hidden oaks golf course thing? I am not buying the BS statement they put out. If you actually walk the course, the only parts that are being maintained are those visible from the street/bike path/rental house. There are wide swaths that they have let fallen into an overgrown apocalyptic disaster. It’s on Airbnb and being marketed as an event venue. Is it zoned for that? What is the timeline to open the golf course to the public (if that’s even REALLY the plan still)?! Are we really going to let something that was open to the public for over 50 years just slip away? Totally ridiculous and I am surprised this is just being written about.
Thanks ES!
Running a shop for ten years out of 150 sq feet is no small feat. We hope you’ll be pleased shopping in a normal sized store! There will be no shortage of charm.
And running two stores during a pandemic was not feasible (gulp).

The 'Arrive' line done by Pali/house/society/whatever are really nice in other spots, and am happy to see their interest in this area of Santa Barbara. My hope is that this will also bring new food and drink options in this section of town. (I know there are several things planned further up State, like Lama Sama Dog or whatever we are collectively calling it)... but would love to see a little more fill in on De La Vina itself.
(I don't have much love for the Starbucks and would really love to see this become a dining location, but I won't hold my breath).
So Hilton is a cover operation? Why did Chumash sell it, and when did they recover it?
Another Warren Butler signature F-up? He was the managing partner.
Thank you for your reply. Actually, this hotel is on de la vina and Samarkand Drive. So, not across the street. And, appreciate you thinking I'm 'old'. Sorry that your assumptions are incorrect.
They own it.
Why is the Chumash handling Hadsten hiring? They have several posts looking for kitchen staff
Um, Hey Mary. The upper part of the Lemon Tree / Crocodile across the street from this place is painted purple... has been for a very long time. Did you ever notice this color in your "neighborhood"?
This town.
Anything that differs from the same old, sure makes the old people very, very testy.
SB is one of the only cities in the world where a dilapidated pile of festering junk is considered "historic" because some old lady remembers the people who lived there in 1960... The worst part? There are thousands such buildings in our little town. Thousands!
There is an image of a door painted this purple shade. Seems most folks use it as an accent wall. This is going to look awful on that corner which is in my neighborhood. Also, so not the 'Santa Barbara' vibe. I'm sure the clientele will be changing also along with the price. Maybe the purple is for the doggies in the dog park right next door to this place
Does SB really want Barney’s purple dream hotel? I couldn’t even find a pic of that color on an Exterior wall on google images. Let’s hope the review board agrees with my sentiment.
