I am not a fan of removing trees but you are completely clueless in lumping rail mass transit in with freeway building. Such a NIMBY argument. We need less freeway construction and more train improvement. BUILD THE EXTRA TRACK!
Justifiable homicide - was that the ruling? His ex-wife’s boyfriend was not charged with murder although the boyfriend stabbed Lester 17 times with the knife he was using to open boxes (in self-defense). Interesting
Please say that Gelson’s will be serving Thrifty’s Ice Cream with one of those cylindrical scoopers…
The boomers will not be content, nor will the MAGAfication of montecito be complete, until every tree is replaced with a freeway lane, bike path, or rail line (or dirt sidewalk)
The Edgecliff Estate sold for $29.99M (93108)
I was Caretaker when Lester died,
July 14, '92.
I met Fay Dunaway there. Jack did a scean for
'The Two Jakes' at Edgecliff. Alotta stars hung out.
I was on Current Affair & Inside Edition when Lester got justifiable homicide'd.
Village Service Station in Montecito's Upper Village in Santa Barbara.
Short answer, because it's not 2007 any more.
Long answer, based on US BLS statistics, prepared salads have increased in price approximately in line with inflation, approximately 2.5% a year over the past 20 years or about a 60% total increase since 2007.
Why is a basic salad over $12?
How about “a no-body hotel”?
alleyway entrance to Drippin' Chicken off lower State Street
Good morning. On State St., pointing to the restaurant WAY in the back around the 400 block of State St. I think to the Broad Street Oyster Bar 418 State St.
Tal Avitsar opened his workshop, home gallery, and garden during an open studio tour last month. Stepping behind those gates lies a truly cool, whimsical retreat that feels like a hidden gem.
Not sure about the fire insurance costs at Park Lane, but Ingrid in Casablanca in the Home Theater?
Winner!
Yes exactly right. The Grand Jury report gives an example where employees can use two days of leave for Monday and Tuesday and then work five days Wednesday to Sunday, which counts as a 60 hour week so two of the days worked are at time and a half. Then "overtime" work also accrues additional leave which gets cycled back into use and generates more overtime. The GJ points out that they aren't blaming the employees for taking advantage but rather it falls on management for allowing it to happen.
Thats's a quirky area. Used to live up there. Monte Vista School is on Hope and Hope school on La Colina.
It's more complicated than that. From the report by the county Auditor-Controller’s Office: “A recurring pattern was identified in which sheriff employees used leave balances (vacation, sick or other leave) to complete ‘time worked’ hours requirements associated with their standard FLSA work period while simultaneously coding overtime hours in the same period. This practice seems to effectively increase total overtime hours and was identified in 6,913, or 35.7%, of all timesheets, resulting in an estimated $5.9 million in FY 2024-25 overtime costs.” You can read more about in this Noozhawk article from last December: https://www.noozhawk.com/auditor-controllers-memo-digs-into-sheriffs-office-overtime-staffing-costs/
Regarding the SB County Sheriff’s Overtime: We don’t have enough SB County Sheriff Officers to work and cover shifts. The ones that are working, are forced to work overtime and the physical area they have to patrol while on duty is insane! It cannot be that difficult for someone to figure this out.
The majority of city council just wants to throw a band-aid on a gunshot wound and kick the actual fixes down the road.
Why would anyone want to put money into housing right now in the City when the powers that be want to limit what a landlord can rent units for? Sadly we’re going to see more projects NOT go the housing route because of it.
That church should've been housing. Can't imagine anyone living around there would want a hotel
Speaking of Tondi: I miss those gelatos especially his vegan fruit flavors but more than that I miss the friendly and talented owner. Does anyone know anything about where he is and if he intends to open a new place. Too bad the property owners raised his rent. When we talk about downtown Santa Barbara’s lackluster vitality I always think that the « elephant in the room are the rents
So great to see the Brewhouse adding the coffee shop in the secondary bar area! What a cute place and a nice complement to the other 'brews' served (which are consistently outstanding!) Nice job, Grant and Kathy!
I recall about 20 years ago being called to that address by a homeowner to take a look at some sheet metal needs. The owner had disheveled hair, but was very nice and well spoken. Eventually I saw his picture in the independent and realized he was not a trust fund burn out, but instead one of the most successful writers of our times.
Fun fact- TC Boyle owns that FLW house, or at least did.
and you are assuming I am Tom Bolton, lol
