Maybe do an interview with Karl? I'd love to know how he knows where all these obscure things are in SB!
1014 Santa Barbara St.
Oh NO!!! Say it ain’t so!! Since the opening of the Metropolis I’ve been an avid patron, a promoter of “Thee sandwich shop” in town. I have taken so, so many people the Metropolis that they were stunned that the Metropolis was even there in the Funk Zone. Unfortunately now, I’ve retired out of town but the Metropolis is/was always my sandwich stop when in Santa Barbara. This is truly a sad day for my tastebuds! Why do great things/places have to come to an end? ???? Break-a-leg in your next endeavor. Peace, love, food!
Sorry- my mistake, wrong property
That is the front yard- all the way to Refugio rd. Please do attend the open house so you can update your fear mongering!
The house on Grand was extensively redone by This OId House back in about 2000. More can be found here:

I want to change all of the finishes on Shepherd Mesa but wow, that view is to die for! Will be going to the open house. My concerns would be what might happen with the undeveloped ag land right below the property. If the state has its way it’s not an exaggeration to say that could end up an apartment building in the long term.
That house must be the home of the late Anthony Mozilo of Countrywide infamy. He filed suit against the Montecito Club and while changes were made the pickleball noise will be constant and if you've heard it essentially a deal breaker. Perhaps that is reflected in the price already. We will see...
Excellent reporting! This is a lot of work to collect. While there is always a lot of conjecture (food is fickle), this is a great baseline of what's what in the area. Nice one.
One of the most interesting ones in this series for me. Impressive what he has accomplished and his ongoing interest in the broader questions of humanity. Attempting to reckon with the dichotomous, sometimes demoralizing dynamics of resource contention and our sometimes-rational behavior in a hopeful way. When even a guy this smart can't figure out a solution, you know it's not easy... but respect the thoughtful meditation on the problem.
Tiffany! Hi, I would love to get your contact/ the shoe owner who owns the property. I am a photographer who would love to get access to shoot it.
And now the property is for sale. Wonder if that issue will be disclosed (as it should). Gorgeous estate ruined by pickleball.
The adobe on Cliff is really charming with potential to be even nicer. Hadn’t seen that listing. Hope no one plans to tear it down to build a contemporary box.
Wow! A lot of Food for thought today! Thank you Siteline ! My go to for the inside scoop ????
Well, Ramon of Corazon at the helm in the old Alex space in the Mart sounds hopeful if you can find a parking space. Otherwise the list sounds like just more mediocre Purgatory in Paradise.
We miss you both, you sweet smiling faces, your delicious food, your ability to do that crazy thing you did!
If ya’ll need a break and a walk I. The woods we would love to have you both up to Mill Valley sometime.
Lots of love,
Ron and Eileen Avolio
Fixed it, thanks. All three storefronts in the building are labeled "1230 State" in my database....
The sign at Lilac Montecito is actually for a job fair. The restaurant expects to open at the end of the month.
Your photo is still incorrect for 1230 State Street
Had a Ojai local come in- Rory’s wall fire has also (and obviously) damaged the adjoining business which is a theater- and its going to be a while for everything to be fixed to both standards…
The plug got pulled a while ago: https://www.sitelinesb.com/fairview-gardens-has-closed-for-a-major-redesign/
Any updates on that "Kitchen 530" community kitchen on State Street?
I stopped asking because they were never forthcoming with information, and no progress seems to be getting made. There's a dormant Instagram account for it at (@sunstoneinthefunkzone).
Thanks for the great list! Do you know anything about the rooftop Sunstone Winery spot that’s supposed to open in the Funk Zone?
Yes, that's right. This is a closeup of a larger mural, created in 2014 by a non-profit called Youth Interactive. I was the lead, or mentor/facilitator of the project. I worked with 10 + kids ranging from 12 - 20 for this project. The moon and the stars as well as the waves were definitely my favorite part of the giant painting. I am shocked it has lasted outdoors up until now. X Colette
