Sad. I agree, the secret of Montecito and SB for that matter is out…. and the “element” which has infiltrated is exactly what many long time residents of this area were escaping. It’s such a joke to now see women walking around with designer “status symbols “ all over their clothing announcing they have zero creativity other than wear someone else’s initials . This was never seen in SB previously. Sadly we are be infiltrated by those who don’t GET it about SB. Sad RH heading into the old Firehouse are more initials we don’t need to see.

You are right about Olive St., the B/W exterior is too severe for a nice little bungalow like that. Same with the all-white interior, but they got the flow right, took a walkthrough yesterday and was surprised at how nice it felt.
The menu is sort of similar to Lucky’s, but I bet the quality will be 25x better. Might force Lucky’s to stop serving disgusting food that looks like it fell off a Sysco truck 3 weeks ago. Remember when Sly was the chef and it was actually good? My thoughts echo Bruce, but I also accept that the secret is out on Montecito and what we knew it as is already a distant memory. RIP. If we must submit to new overlords, at least we can hope they will bring fresh produce with them.
That's not where this one is....
I also await more info about how this clean-up could be avoided.
The Sansum building at Foothill/Cieneguitas was built after "remediation" that was done -- so poorly it had to be restarted and continues. Forget about living on the property there, we go to the doctor there to get healthy...? https://www.ourair.org/110620-pub-notice/
Santa Barbara Fraternal Order of Eagles on Bath near Carrillo. I still don’t know what/who they are but every time I walk by the front door’s open and people are drinking at the bar.
Restoration Hardware, the national furniture chain is not a fit amongst the local owned shops of Montecito’s upper village: it’s a complete violation of our lifestyle. We don’t need more traffic. We don’t need more tourist. And besides, what’s cool about dinning in a furniture store amongst furnishings, fabrics and accessories made by Chinese, Indonesian and East Indian laborers?
Keep in mind that this is from a "source" and the article indicates that St. Vincent's has been contacted to see "how much of it is accurate." It is highly doubtful that they would receive a waiver for cleanup. Hazmat cleanup requirements are not based on a site being affordable. It's based on the type of use, type of contamination, whether soils will be exposed, etc.
In another hypocritical maneuver, the County gets a variance for hazardous waste where they are to build housing, because ”who cares? It’s just for the homeless!” ? Speaking from experience, mere mortals (tax paying citizens) would pay dearly for that kind of diagnosis and clean up.
This is wonderful news! I have been to restaurants in Marin & Yountville. The food and service were outstanding. Wish they were moving into the Sears building.
The menu posted on the wall at the restaurant said "piña jengibre"—I guess changed it to match what they're serving!
The drink you tried was the agua fresca “Piña Pepino”- that means pineapple and cucumber, not ginger. That’s why it tasted a lot like cucumber!
Lucca's L.A. showroom is still open, and the company recently launched online sales.
Where did the Lucca people go?
Wow, thanks for sharing this. I owned the "A frame" house on Sherwood dr. for 22 years and loved the neighborhood. Your tour brought back some fond memories.
There could be one on an RV, too, but that's not where this one is.
On an rv
OMG we can see the “house” on Garcia from our street above and it is a shambles. Looks like it should have been condemned years ago. It’s basically a lot and $ 2.9 seems outrageous.
So happy about this!!! Visited the Yountville restaurant many times. Upper Montecito Village needs this.
