Are there any updated plans for De La Guerra plaza that were actually approved?
Here’s a link, regarding Potter Hotel/Burton’s Mound hot springs & cold springs. I would swear that I had heard somewhere that the Castillo Underpass water problems are related to these springs. Maybe Neal Graffy knows…

Exactly! It boggles my mind how anyone in the city/state would have thought building this road below sea level would not constantly need to be re-done. Someone, some where is thrilled by the constant source of revenue this road creates.
The only way to keep the underpass dry is a bridge over the 101, or raising the 101 bridge so the underpass would be at a higher point. That's been the case since the underpass was built. Of course, the people who could have made that decision way back when wouldn't think of putting a bridge over the 101, or raising the 101 bridge. This is the result.
FWIW, from what I understand, there’s a natural hot spring/seepage near the Castillo underpass which is what causes the constant moisture there.
It's still happening; these things take time.
Whatever happened to redoing the pedestrian walkway under the freeway on state street? It desperately needs it.
What?! Government agencies arguing over responsibility for failure? ??
Azul is still not open for business. I called for Valentine's Day reservations and was told they are still waiting for City permits. Hopefully they'll open soon!
The liquor license for Santo Mezcal lists David Back and Carlos Luna as the two owners.
I’m sorry Eric, but I was under the impression that carlos the owner of los agaves was the owner of santo mezcal.? I’m confused. Can you please shed some light?
Ah! I missed that, thank you.
I'm sure there are options for seniors or the disabled. Even Erik's comment says, "...Unless you have directly contacted our office to implement ‘non-curbside’ service...".

A person who cannot physically move their cans should call MarBorg to arrange for accommodation at 805-963-1852.
Anyone may want to update their contact info with MarBorg to receive future notifications: https://marborg.com/update-contact-information/
New Marborg policy doesn’t seem fair to seniors or for people with disabilities. They shouldn’t have to pay more.
Looks lovely! Congratulation! Not to be obnoxious, but the brunch menu says 9pm - 3pm...fyi to the new owners, if you're reading this.
Thank you for the answer on the other post. I double checked my service account charges. Looks like this change isn't happening in my service area
Bummer.
Thank you! I appreciate it. So far no word here in SB. ? We are in a unique location and our trash cans are actually up some stairs. It’s never been a problem before, but who knows what will happen. And what a joke about “state mandated” colors for trash cans?! I see our politicians have been busy with the important issues. Eye roll.
The chickens have moved to Voulgaris's home.
There was an email I don't have anymore, followed by the one below (which didn't totally make sense to me so I ignored it). Then last week we received notes attached to our containers. We're in Montecito, so this may not affect people within city limits.
The email: "During the month of January, MarBorg Industries will be swapping all trash and green waste cans (containers without wheels) for wheeled carts on your service day. As previously communicated, we are transitioning to 'curbside' wheeled cart service as the default collection method in your area. Unless you have directly contacted our office to implement 'non-curbside' service, ALL CARTS MUST BE PLACED AT THE CURBSIDE by 6AM on your service day moving forward. If you currently have personal cans that you would like us to recycle, please place them at the curbside on any service day, and we will remove them. TRASH carts will now be a GRAY color as mandated by California’s SB 1383 container uniformity requirements." (Why on earth does the state care what color containers are?! All the old tan ones just got tossed? Oy.)
Hi. Could you advise how Marborg contacted you about the incredible increase in garbage collection services ? I haven't received anything and have regular trash cans beside my garage but always put them on my driveway for pickup. Thank you
Hey Erik. Can I ask you how Marborg made you aware of that fee change? We are in Santa Barbara and I’m wondering if this is going to apply to us as well. It would double our bill. Haven’t heard anything yet…
I had the exact same thought. The chickens are so charming. That back garden feels like being in New York or London! I don’t know that the new location will accommodate the chickens. Have you seen the silkie chickens at Garde?
Are they going to have their chickens in the new location? I loved going in the back to visit them.
Just screenshot it, save it and then you can enlarge. Takes a second. Easy workaround.
