Really? Not sure how anyone could have missed it, but Google Elon Musk and watch some clips from the last 2 months. It will be obvious.
Completely agree. Please contact this parking person from the city reviewing the policy and do the survey. I've done both and hope other tax paying citizens of Santa Barbara will do the same
Permit and fee cost out of control
"because I would like to see Twitter/X die" wow, sounds like you have some issues you need to work on.
Why the hostility towards X?
Whoa! The freeway work at Cabrillo and Coast Village/Hot Springs is gonna be an absolute mess — wonder how long they expect construction to happen. Also what happens when all that is closed to rebuild? Beyond all that future uggggh... the proposed double roundabout in a relative close distance to each other feels like a bit of a mess, considering the existing one backs up (often unnecessarily). I hope they have done their homework and figure out the flow. I gotta say, the on and off ramps to Cabrillo finally will make more sense (versus the Los Patos exit which never made any sense to me), but I will deeply miss the northbound Carbillo/Hot Springs "zoom" lane to the 101. Its had a good run and has been insanely useful when late to the airport, or annoyed by middle lane-huggers driving 50mph.
For years it was on the corner and then moved about 10 years ago.
Agreed!
My guess is greed!
In & Out at the suggested location was idiotic! Grateful logic was used in deciding to keep McMurray useable. The obvious place for the fast food giant is north on McMurray at 3 way stop- putting it on the NW lot allows a traffic dream situation w/access coming from 2 off ramps at bridge over 101 exits , as well as traffic from McMurray. Go walk it Erik- I drive that exact route 4 times a week, lots of walkers!
Strange Family Wines- Chef Maili Halme did a wonderful job resurrecting Mattei’s Tavern for the Strange Family- and they pulled the rug out from under her. They are pure LA.
No one ever moved in and the buyer only visited a few times. Wondering how 4 months later with no work they anticipate getting $400K more?
Dating myself, but oh, the wonderful days of the upscale, romantic Harbor Restaurant with its grand piano. I was there on a blind date the night the restaurant burned down--I think it was 1971. So tragic and sad for all of us. Fingers crossed this group can get it close to the glory days.
It is on the wall of the little building on a tiny little street, 812 Presidio Avenue. It used to be the law firm of Weldon U. Howell, not sure what it is now. There is a little elephant fountain in the courtyard....one of my favorite little places in town.
FYI: The following message is on the Baked Goods page of jewishsantabarbara.org/store:
“Online ordering for baked goods is no longer available.
Etty's Jewish Deli & Bakery
We look forward to welcoming you to our new deli in spring 2024.”
I agree that it's awesome that locals will be in control of this great landmark. I worked at the Harbor for 6 years back in the 90's and it was one of the best jobs I ever had (valet.) Thrilled for Katie Really too.
Can't wait to see what the future holds!
My understanding is that the seller found something he/she liked more.
Any idea what happened with the house at 1905 Mission Ridge? It sold in August, just 4 months ago. Was it a flip? I drive past it several times a week and never saw any obvious renovations happening. Did the buyers decide they didn't like living next to a short term rental?
Me, too! I never go to the overpriced restaurants, but do go to coffee shops — and, especially, to the art museum. They, the museum, should agitate for the free 75 (90 was better); without it, the museum will lose some local members, including probably me. As for the library, the present admin. there has made it clear they do not care about local adult and homed patrons.

Is 17 acres on Romero Canyon worth 25mm? Not sure but please factor in the cost of tearing down the nightmare of an existing house.
Fantastic! You go Katie!
It will certainly keep me from downtown
A coffee shop like the brass bird in carpinteria would be amazing. Those folks really know what they are doing.
The people pushing to eliminate free parking seem to think that retail browsing and fancy restaurants are the only reasons folks go downtown. This is not true!
Raise the rates if you must, but PLEASE keep free 75-minute access--these things matter to families and folks that use the (free!) library or visit the art museum (often free!), pick up a prescription at CVS or run other quick errands, view community performances (often free!) ... folks shouldn't have every time they go downtown.
Took the words right out of my mouth.
