Nope (although of course it’s possible there a similar sign there).

Autocorrect is not my friend. First sentence should read “kind of development” not mind.
This is the mind of development I would expect to see from Runyon here, and one I welcome. It looks great and hopefully we’ll get some nice new shops and dining establishments to look forward to. I’m somewhat skeptical this project will engage with anything “local” but whatever. I like stuff that isn’t local, too. When they brought Platform to LA it was largely populated with stuff like: an outpost of Roberta’s from Brooklyn, Blue Bottle Coffee, Sweetgreen, Saturdays from NYC, etc. I’m not opposed to any of that, in fact I’d love a Blue Bottle and a previous comment thread here has people clamoring for a Sweetgreen. Just pointing out the claims of working with local businesses may or may not be legit. This is very different from what is going on at Las Aves which still irks me to my core. It’s a big, and questionable, play to go for adding so much premium retail in such a small geographic area. I’m skeptical both projects will be successful long term as far as the retail components go. I think this might fare better than Las Aves. Runyon have partnered with Caruso on previous projects. I’ve got to wonder whether he’s involved as a backer, especially with the Las Aves redevelopment.
Afraid not!

Bank of America?
From a reliable source, I was told that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issued written consent for the rock wall to be repaired/replaced as that agency takes the lead for waterways . Additional forms have been filed with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
Bif, Thank you for your comments. Buffy and those who support her are Karens and worst. If not, why would they include Harry and Meghan when the issue is concerning Oprah.
Bif, don’t be mean to Buffy!
Oh Buffy. What in life has made you so bitter? Perhaps you should leave Montecito so the rest of us can enjoy living here without Karen's like you.....
Take down that wall. She is relying on "better to ask forgiveness than permission ". She will not let it happen. You will not be able to take down the wall. She thinks she is God almost. Take down the wall. While you're at it, take out the trash, the commoner, and the fake royal.
$2k per ft for 12x12 bedrooms, 7'6" ceilings, mini-closets sans view... Seems low :-
When is delta bringing back the direct SB to Salt Lake City?!?!
Me too!!!!
Thanks for sharing the Bettina pavlova recipe! My wife has been talking about making this since we ordered it. Guess you know your audience.
Wow Very Sad Hollywood Go Away
Please bring back Read & Post. It was a wonderful, place run by great people and you could often see you local friends there too.
Go poke around Funk Zone between Garden & 100 blk SB st...it's all wetlands. Doesn't Dario own 112 SB street? Is this project a Wright Family Project, a follow-up to the rejected aquarium idea?
This DryBar news makes my hair happy!
MNF has been a place where many elderly long time Montecito residents went not only to get advice on supplements, but to connect with the community. It's a damn shame. I worked for Jim at the Von's Shopping Center (it will never be the Montecito Country Mart) and he is completely out of touch with the locals.
I agree. Few of the retail replacements in that center, and others in town, have much meaning to the majority of us. It's been trending that way for well over a decade now.
My father was the paint contractor for Montjoie in the 90s. It had fallen into major disrepair and was a sad gray color. The owners were set on painting it all white, but my father convinced them to paint it canary yellow with white trim -- because in his eyes, it resembled the buttery Von Trapp Family estate in the Sound of Music! The family loved it so much they even wallpapered a powder room with edelweiss print!
Oh yeah- those planters really bring a flag pole vibe to the strip mall. Can always count on Eye of the Day for a barrier to reality????️‍????️
They're for the 250-room hotel at 101 Garden Street (on the west side of Garden, between E. Yanonali Street and the railroad tracks), as described at https://www.sitelinesb.com/the-250-room-funk-zone-hotel-is-taking-shape/.
Hi maybe I missed it but what are all those story poles for on Garden Street right before the railroad tracks starting on Yanonali. Looks like the shipping containers are finally giving way to something….but what?
