So it is beneath you to pick your own produce? Note to self- some real winners here
Hope they start by editing out nail biters who think telling others "you can't comment" is a good idea
What is the downside to cars back on State? There'd still plenty of room pedestrians, there'd still be bike lanes, les out of control e-bikes, all while bringing back people who still rely heavily on cars (the elderly, the disable, the lazy, and the tourists) as well as bringing back parades. All this talk recently of "activating" State Street while ignoring that the most active State Street has even been was during parades.
What "overbuilding" in Santa Barbara? Next to nothing has been built in the last 5 years.
Yes, this! I'm also a resident downtown and support just building more housing. Luxury units make sense for new development, which in turn puts downward pressure on the prices for existing housing, making those units more affordable. And FWIW, more affordable housing is also in the pipeline nearby with the Presidio Springs redevelopment project.
The last thing the city needs is cars back on State Street.
I hope the new owners remove the fire pits located between the main structure and the pool. They may have been expensive to install but they look cheap and tacky. Visual clutter distracting from the real star of the show; El Encanto’s beautiful natural environment.
They did a big remodel not so long ago so hopefully it wouldn’t shut down. They have weddings around the very beautiful pond but it doesn’t hold many people. It’s a great location and the grounds are beautiful and they’re nice about letting locals walk through on daily dog walks.
Been obsessed with Porta frozen pepperoni pizza. You can find it at Bristol Farms and Sprouts. Hopefully, that's not the one you had and were disappointed in, ha!
As a resident of downtown, I believe we need all housing types downtown. We need all income people living downtown to make the businesses viable and the overall community vibrant. At a cost of $1M per affordable unit, the city/county don’t have the resources (taxpayers) to build enough affordable housing and private builders of housing don’t work for free.
Okay Linden Square report - - The BEST item I've had so far (and the mole taco IS tasty) Eric at Cocina Corizon Sur are the aquachiles - only served here and much better than the ones i had in Mexico's costa allegre...the music IS too loud.. some of us don't want music ALL the time.. take note Linden Square. Some mellow but good jazz or even calming classical would be nice from time to time..for whoever is programming the music.
Well, according to this recent grand jury report it cost $1M to build an affordable unit in this city. The city has created such a restrictive and regulated building environment luxury housing is the only type of housing that can be built. https://www.noozhawk.com/grand-jury-calls-for-urgent-action-on-south-coast-housing-crisis/
The last thing the City needs is luxury housing downtown.
Why can't they launch rockets out in the desert or mountains, away from towns and homes? It's rather disturbing to hear those loud crashing sounds and having all the windows rattling. It sounds like an earthquake or a gunshot and it scares the crap out of the animals.
Question: How is this shaking and rattling affecting the San Andreas fault line?
The Win-Dow has this as well. I just visited Portland and several restaurants there added this charge. I also find it irritating and would rather it was rolled into the price.
I really hate the unbundling of prices, like the 3.5% benefit charge at Marisella. Just roll your expenses into the published price like most respectable businesses. Saying you can ask it to be removed is not much of an out, as I would probably not do that. Rather, I would just leave irritated and not return, or never visit to begin with.
Check out Little Bird Kitchen in the Public Market. Burger is as close to perfect as it gets!
Wylde Works has been the subject of some...drama recently. There's a Reddit thread "What's going on with Wylde Works?" that sheds a bit more light.
Agreed!
😂
Friends of mine (with whom I just consulted) who are absolute pizza freaks recommend using GoldBelly for frozen pizza: Pizzeria Bianco or Defiina for thin crust and Prince Street for Sicilian.
Yes! What happened to Kitchenette? Would love more options for frozen pizza AND healthy prepared food like they had
Nestled between the mountains and the ocean, I can think of far worse places to stand in the beautiful sunshine and wait for a burger.....
“Let your kids play farmworkers for a day! It’s a taste of what life will be like when there’s no one left to do it.”
Bravo for the satire and truth-telling, and thank you to the people who work hard to make sure we have food in our grocery stores, farmer’s markets, and restaurants. It is hard, honest, underappreciated work that makes up a big portion of our county’s economy.
Linden Square is firing on all cylinders, food, vibe and drink-wise, but the live music is WAY too loud so we avoid going there when there's a band playing. I almost always prefer recorded music when dining unless it's something mellow like a guitarist.
Grace Austin is also one of the owners of Gracie’s which is where the name of the restaurant comes from. I can’t wait for it to open. I love all their other restaurants as well!
