In my humble opinion, removing the majestic eucalyptus trees seems diabolical! Why on earth would someone want to remove them??
I hate "sando" too but it's a national trend, I don't think we can blame this one on the "new arrivals"....
Very
Eating dead cooked animals is so weird, not to mention how terrible it is for one's health and the environment. Why is this still the norm? So over all these new restaurants opening that don't offer anything truly healthy, ethical, creative or high quality. Ah well... missed opportunities.
'Sandos' grates for me too. California burrito not withstanding, how's the CA burger not have avocado? Why call it a CA burger? How about jalapeño burger? I'm starting to sound crazy to myself, but isn't it shorthand for avocado at this point?
I just returned from a business trip to North Carolina and was told in no uncertain terms that to be authentic NC BBQ, the sauce must be see-through. Can’t wait to try out this new place.
Maybe something about the Chinese & Japanese laborers & the discovery of sea urchins, creating a market in Asia that continues today?
There is a small place beyond glenorchy named Kinloch. It’s near the trailhead of one of the treks. Hope that place never gets developed. We were also in the other Kinloch on Lake Taupo. Yes. A busy little town.
Sorry Joy, but I laughed. Telling someone to not be negative is in fact being negative.
When we rode bikes around the town of Kinloch, at the shore of Lake Taupo, we saw houses under construction all over.
Might a 125 yearold railroad bridge with two 56-foot riveted steel deck girder spans be at or approaching the end of its safe lifespan?
Kim please stop being such a negative person.
😊
Like “ Cito” Nauseating affectation of new arrivals trying to be cool while they work to turn it into LA
We have been to NZ 4 times as independent travelers. We were surprised that you mention Kinloch as a place where there's a lot of development. We went there each time just on a day ride drive from Frankton (where we stay at a timeshare place up on the hill with fabulous views). In Kinloch, we loved the scenery and the little cafe at their 'lodge". Had no black flies our first stay but they were out in force the next 3 times we went. Where is the development going on? It seemed fairly remote to us.
How fortunate you are. I did not realize one could visit there. I have only visited Santa Cruz. A great trip a long while ago.
It's in the item that starts, "While waiting in line at Marley Confections in Montecito...."
I was thinking the same thing about "sando" - when did we stop using the whole word. It just bugs me when words are co-opted to be "cool". AI def = "Sando" can refer to several things, most commonly a Japanese-style sandwich, a path leading to a Shinto shrine, or a sleeveless undershirt in the Philippines.
You mention a 'new' Summerland Cafe on today's description of today's post, but there was no mention of the cafe? Can you please share or correct the omission in the post? Thank you
No shade on their menu - looks nice - but where and when did everyone decide it was great to call 'em "Sandos"?
Maybe I will consult with my "Besties" and find out?!
I brought four on Nov. 1st. So amazing! Run…don’t walk! (Just leave some more for me!).
HaHa! Great comeback, Mark. Actually laughed out loud.
Yes, the city takes them down after the meeting.
FYI - the plans you linked to related to the Sears lot at La Cumbre Plaza is now returning a Page Not Found error.
Glass factory?
Thank you so much for this great information. The SB Historical Museum is one of our community's treasures. Dacia and the team at the Museum are to be commended for their dedication to preserving and highlighting Santa Barbara's remarkable history.
