Streamlined TSA? A guided walk to the gate? I fly out of SBA upwards of 80x a year. I have never waited more than 10min to get through security. Why would you pay extra to streamline the easiest TSA in the nation?
What SBA needs is a drinking fountain with a filter. Like they have in every other airport in the US. We're supposed to be environmentally conscious city yet they sell $8 bottled water in plastic instead of adding a water filter that removes the need to purchase bottled water. Let's be serious. Our water is not great.
Sometimes I wonder about these people who are paid $100's of thousands to manage the airport, but then I remember, this is a city that spent $100mm on the building and forgot to put in a clock. Ehh, who needs a clock at an airport anyway?
The pedestrian crossings at Junipero, Anapamu, and Ortega seem to be fine. Do those have the problems you’re referring to?
Auguri Andrea and Brian, wishing you every success. Keep it simple, honest and authentic. No need to show off like the ex-boss by the sea. That’s what makes you guys different and charming.
Rising property values do not prove that a negative contributory factor does not exist. If you cannot understand the idea of magnitude behind vectors I'm wasting my time trying to reason with you.
Local property values have continued to rise without abatement as the cannabis industry set up shop and started growing. That simply is not an argument.
I completely support the legitimacy of cannabis as a crop. But there are times when I drive on Foothill and the odor is so noxious that it makes me feel physically ill. Denying that people have this experience is arguing in bad faith. Understand and respect that there are legitimate concerns, not unique to cannabis. The same can be said about slaughterhouses or chemical factories. It is further undeniable that these odors can (and do) suppress property value.
With these things in mind, let's recognize that there must be a solution that keeps the cannabis crop in place and does not do outsized harm to the community, and find it together.
Carpinteria does not reek of anything but ill will toward a legitimate and successful industry. The group of people who don't like the odor is very small but very vocal. Many of us actually enjoy what little aroma remains because it represents victory over decades of reefer madness mentality and the evil, counterproductive war on drugs. CARP Growers have been excellent stewards in trying to appease a small group of complainers who, despite their claims, are trying to go back to the bad old days of the drug war. Cannabis isn't going anywhere and the city would do well to capitalize on it instead of joining in the demonizing. If you live in Gilroy, you're going to smell garlic, and those farmers aren't forced to spend millions of dollars in odor abatement systems, thereby making their product that much more profitable. In this instance, it's long past time to stop fighting the inevitable.
There is not enough information to assess the bike and pedestrian crossing yet. A question I have is as it is mentioned to pass over the railroad tracks, would be to provide reasonable security for trains from silly people tossing things at the locomotives or rail cars and the longer term situation that sea level rise has been elsewhere documented as a threat for this area, one longer term solution would be a trestle to raise the rails above threat. I doubt this concept will be high enough, which will limit its lifespan. I am not declaring the current right of way would be underwater constantly, but a number of projects for this coastal area are not doing smart planning. 101 Garden has its underground parking garage entry on the flood plane, raising it a bit could with avoid that error. What I ask for basically is smart long range planning.
What are the guys at aperitivo thinking.?? Maybe they are not! Opening up a second location around the corner.??! I don’t understand it’s not like they always had a wait. Maybe they will crush it…… then again maybe they won’t and will severely bird their first business.

Having grown up in the Phoenix area I'm familiar with Castle Hot Springs, mostly because of the fire that destroyed a lot of it in the 1970's. Also my father retired to Wickenburg which is another 30 minutes up the road. . . the paved road, that is! This was a great write-up and I had a couple lol's.
I agree! LOVE Bossie’s!
Bossie’s is such a gem, wish more people knew about their amazing food !
When is Wexlers gonna be open? What’s the hold up? We’re salivating with anticipation.
Looks like a beautiful place, can't wait to see it. My daughter
Is fascinated by both the story about and the pictures of Bello Seguado and we are looking forward to seeing it.

Seems like the whole Linden Hall thing was mostly wishing and hoping.
two suggestions for King Cakes
www.KingKingCakes.com
and
O&H Danish Bakery
I've used them both and they are great!
Happy Mardi Gras!

I was told it was painted as a clock tower for a movie many years ago and the owners liked it, so they kept the painted clock.
The house and property were a bit of a mess when I was in it some dozen years ago. This was around the same time the cell tower went up in that small parcel. No idea what's happening with it now. It's a spectacular piece of property. The views are incredible and now that the reservoir is covered, the crows that were once a murderous annoyance are gone and peace and quiet is now the norm.
FYI - I do believe the road and area is private property, so tread lightly. There is a trail up to the ridge via the MTF route that runs from the west side of ORR and the Valley Club and then up the backside of the hill near 192. There is also a recently installed fire camera right there that you can view on the web. If one is interested in seeing the view in real time.
Good things to come Aperitivo, can't wait to see what evolves. Congratulations!!
I would be thrilled to work here. I am recently retired and can’t think of anything better than working in my hometown.
Aperitivo 2.0 -> Secondi!
Good luck gentlemen. If I were you I would close down first location and focus solely on the ne location. It’s not going to be easy to pay rent and management and everything that comes along with operating a business.

Congratulations Andrea, Brian. and the Aperitivo staff.
A monopine! I feel a little bit smarter after finding out what this is called. Thank you Erik for the fun read this morning.
Crushcakes Goleta is making scratchmade King Cakes! They are delicious and you just might find the baby :)
Renaud’s makes a classic French king cake (Galette de Rois) this time of year and it’s delicious! However it’s not the colorful Mardi Gras one.
