Bring back the Lobster House
I lived in the neighborhood for 53 years and remember taking a book down there and sitting on the stone bench. Occasionally someone would put flowers in the nook and it was a lovely place for reflection. Then the “frogers” started and the publicity started and it became a complete mess. I remember going down there with a garbage can and pulled out the soggy wet frogs and paper notes and cleaned it up but alas publicity continued to make it a real mess. Frog Shrine? No, never. Just silly people continuing to mess up a lovely simple place to sit and read.

I make the coffee cake for Old Town Coffee, and can make for a group 😊 Check me out on Instagram Messy the Baker
The staff at Bluewater Grill stood out for their attentiveness and laid back charm.
The Awkward Baker is located in Ventura but they do pop ups at The Eddy sometimes. Their Streusel Crumb Coffee Cake is the best.
Any update on the Sweetgreens in Goleta?
Season's greetings -
Lest any newcomers to this site see the comments here and surmise that most readers of Siteline are right wing hawks (or fanatics) - I'm chiming in to say that's decidedly not the case...
Go Sable? Hardly --
Let them drill in other places that don't happen to be among the most beautiful and unspoiled places on the continent.
Go Environmental Defense Center! Let's bring this situation up to date --

You might want to taper off the gummies.
Yippppeeeee. Finally, the people who feel the need at every meeting to reduce the amount of business in Santa Barbara. In order to live their dream life at the cost of the impact it has on the working class have lost. The working poor and santa, barbara society in general side from the santa barbara liberals that want to do everything they can to act anti business the . results inls the price of electricity, water gasoline, sales tax, state tax go up and up in order to fund, dear neo ecology dreams.
Good for Sable. Let's use the infrastructure that already in place (we need the oil) and run if safe! I'd rather have a well managed pipeline than tankers onloading out there.
I'm an environmentalist, but the EDC and GOO has no grasp on reality. Love my EV and solar system, but we still need oil.
Waiving all permits and fees for residential development is a sure way to bring costs down and then rents can come down.
It’s criminal how much city permits and fees add to a project
Let’s go Sable! TOOT TOOT!
It’s about time, the frogs placed were trashy, cheap throwaway items that should have been cleaned up years ago.
Noleta is a contraction of “Not Goleta” which makes sense because it’s not Goleta.
Noloeta? Can we stop? It is Goleta. We don't call south Goleta, Soleta. Is Nanta Barbara coming next. Uncle...
I see what you mean by "displaced by an interior designer." I can remember twenty, thirty years ago when the alcove and bench had hundreds of small frogs. Obviously placed by hand by individuals. So let's do it again.
It looks really good. Big improvement
I see this a new chapter that feels more like a fun opportunity: Bring on new frogs, new memories and more wonderful quirkiness.
Julie, I was thinking the same thing. Organic ingredients will be a big draw for many of us, as well as organic/biodynamic wine choices!
As a neighborhood resident with kids, seeing how much has been removed is sad. The claims of soggy frogs is overstated. 90% of the frogs removed were durable and plastic, maybe faded and weathered by seasons, but ones added by the community over the years. Hopefully the homeowner recognizes it's not "theirs" to control – it's a community destination that many people love. Allow the frog wall to grow organically as it did in the past.
Yes! My parents live nearby and we got the scoop. The frog wall frontage had to have some trees replaced, and the owner had to individually move all the frogs. They put many of them back, but a lot of them (especially the soft ones) had become soggy and too friendly for rats - they were nesting in them. Yuck. So those got the heave-ho, but we heard the homeowner kept some of the other frogs so they can cycle them out throughout the year. Super thoughtful.
I had heard complaints from someone that lived on Dover about what a mess it had become and I know they cleared out stuff that was on paper and would disintegrate in the rain. It is kind of sad that it’s become a little bit too cleaned up and sterile, but people may start adding frogs to it again.
A nod to CVR row to identify as Summerland 🤷♀️. … less expensive rent rates. Who doesn’t love the vibe of Summerland?
