I know where it is, but I’d also love to know if there’s a story there. Looks like it could be a family crest or logo…is it anything noteworthy or historical?
I work on this house on the construction team and it’s pretty nuts. The total build price is $200,000,000. Definitely not my cup of tea for that price tag but it does have some incredible features.
That Riteaid space would be a good location for a high end grocery store.
That’s on the walking path parallel to Miramar beach. Near Bonnymede.
It may be time for you to move. I also live in the neighborhood and I like the rooster. Makes me remember that we all matter.
Roosters aren't allowed within the Montecito community plan area. Montecito Land Use & Development Code §35.442.040.F.1.f: No rooster or peacock shall be kept or raised on the lot.
Regarding the utility pole on Cedar Lane. My parents paid to have a similar eyesore moved underground out of their view on the Upper Riviera. It was $20k, 20-something years ago.
Pretty surprised that one rooster is allowed per property. Seems like something that was out of date about a century ago. I’d certainly vote to change that.
I happen to like Lighthouse Coffee (on the Mesa) and they have the best avocado toast too!
I love it! The privileged griping about the privileged. Look in the mirror, people, we are all privileged just living here.
100% agree
First world problems.
I am sure a Urkainian would love to have a backyard to laze around in.
It is just a freakin' rooster. So tired of the privileged griping.
We had a couple of peacocks in our neighborhood for awhile when I was a kid. They are even worse than roosters with their cacophony.
Might be worth a neighborly chat if that hasn’t happened yet. It’s difficult to tell gender in chicks. People can end up with a rooster inadvertently. Or they might not have realized just how very noisy it was going to be…all day long. They might not want a rooster themselves but they can’t motivate to do something about it. Knowing it’s bothering others can be the push they need (this from experience).
Reads like tax shelter is #1 here; quality, people, and Santa Barbara are tied for a distant last place.
Thanks for the heads-up on Beans. Great spot, real BBQ!!!
El Fureidis, specifically-sorry.
A story from Edhat regarding the same property.

I had to stop going to Lighthouse. They were always out of everything - milk, tops, napkins, etc. And the coffee never tasted good. Maybe it's a front for something else....
Hurray for LaPoMoMuPa, but, my god that took a long time to get done. Now lets run it up Cliff Drive, or ClfDrMuPa
Lighthouse + Mesa Burger + Corner Tap + that kitchen concept on State Street are one company, with many investors. Same setup as Sherry Villanueva & her Acme group... profitability is unknown (/irrelevant, lol) as they pursue rapid expansion with investor money.
You got it!
I believe this is one of the benches in the small park area at the corner of Cottage Hospital.
The absolute worst & will probably get even more worse as they expand.
Lighthouse has the worst coffee. How are they expanding so much??
