No comments on 670 Hot Springs?!
The comments regarding Puesta Del Sol are really disrespectful to the home, home owner, and the hard working agents that are bringing this home to market. Since almost your entire site seems to be real estate ads, I would really consider a more respectful tone. There are many an older home here in SB, as you well know, many that come with areas that need attention. Please consider the human beings and their hard work when making comments such as “buy frabreeze”.
Cafe Stella is closing?! What a bummer! That’s a been a great place for so long! ?
Still owned and resided in by the Smock family.
The county approved it, not the city. The description is that way for legal reasons.
As always, I love your writing and willingness to take us along on your adventures. Thank you.
Our favorite smash burger at Third Window is the avocado jalapeño. Just delicious.
I find it sad that a landlord would kick out a successful business to put a new concept in its place. I wish 7 Bar & Kitchen all the best! Hope they can find a new location.
Houses at that price point ($20-$100 million) take a lot longer to sell, even in a hot market.
There are a number of very expensive homes listed on Padero Lane that don’t appear to be moving. Is there an issue with that street or with the pricing?

I find it disturbing that you would post this article with an address. Shame on you!
Beautiful restoration on Hot Springs. No awful can lights puncturing the ceilings, lovely appropriate light fixtures throughout. Modernized with keeping the classic architecture and finishes. An example of taste and respect fora beautiful masterpiece. I hope others will follow this successful example of a restoration.
Thanks Erik, this is interesting! Cannot remember if I went there to eat but do remember going to the Antique store.
Santa Cruz Market, 324 W Montecito St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101
But MLS says it's approximately 10 acres...?
4621 via Roblada is about 7 acres or so. The vacant lots on either side (neither has an address) are both a little over three acres.
No, but good try!
Chapala Market
Afraid not….
Original Sambo's on the blvd.
Nope, but thanks for guessing!
Trader Joe’s.
Looks just like Ventura’s revamp. Why do we want to copy Ventura? If developers take state funds for housing then SB locals will not income qualify and we’ll be mandated to import low income residents. Exactly what happened in Truckee. Beware of false promises folks.
Excellent virtual walk for those of us in NYC.
