Love this Erik! Looking forward to seeing you and Adam next month!
Erik,
Love all the interesting information you dig up.
Keep it up!
Thanks for all the hard work, Erik. It’s helped me discover a lot around town. A short list: many great shops I hadn’t been in for Christmas shopping. One of my favorite restaurants, Little Mountain. That’s just in the last month. And I love reading the Get Out of Town series.
There are so many! We asked Erik to spotlight a worthy benefit (aren’t they all?!) and he replied with the same. He has to draw the line somewhere, and I appreciate that. Of he changes track, though, the watershed commences!!
Sarah, so well said! I look forward to every email (can’t keep up visiting every site daily, so husk hugely appreciate the recaps). I use the restaurant updates and general news often in my professional life. More research than I could ever undertake! Erik, you are appreciated, admired and undoubtedly under compensated for the value you provide to your audience. We thank you. If only adoration bought groceries.
Thank you to everyone for the truly lovely comments.
Crossroads was our fave food experience as well!
Dear Ken
I moved from Montecito a year ago and treasure getting my Siteline newsletter. Thank you so much for giving me some SB to still hold on to. And in such an entertaining and informative package.
Would you mind sharing, for fun, some of the "fun Vegas activities for teens" that you refused to do?
You and Adam (and Barbara!!) are welcome over anytime. The hubby and I are weird, fun and not afraid of being judged. Thanks for all you do!
You're filling a niche Erik, and doing it so well; thank you for that.
Barbara sounds like a lot of fun!
Happy New Year Eric!! I LOVE Siteline and look forward to reading it every week. Being a major foodie I really enjoy the restaurant updates. Thanks for all you do to keep us informed!!
Haters hate because they are jealous. Keep on doing your amazing work with Siteline. It’s my entire go-to for anything Santa Barbara and I’m always telling people about it! Your hard work is appreciate by many!!
Erik! I love siteline and look forward to reading it whenever I get it…keep up the good work and a big thank you !
We were turned onto your website shortly after moving here in 2021. Thank you for so much for having it and we do rely on it for restaurant recommendations, etc..
Love your food stuff. Please never stop making this!
Honestly, ramp up the honesty more if only to piss off the Montecito right wing NIMBYs.
Thank you for the virtual road trip. What a wild ride. So much great information about Vegas. I will use it on my next visit. Bravo!
Jamie
Comment section is definitely a plus. Please keep it.
Ditto. It’s a pleasure to read the Siteline. Thanks for your care.
Good idea LE! For lesser known local events it would help them with exposure while providing the SB community something we could be missing out on. I'm sure we'd all appreciate it.
Totally agree!
Your publication and approach is useful, interesting and candid. I love it. Today’s news is either so slanted or too bland ( save NPR). Your real estate reviews are my favorite, especially in this town, where so much celebrity and realtor hype is misleading. My “ideas” per your request are 1) Guide/ratings mini publications on local restaurants, real estate, hotels, entertainment , beaches, surrounding towns. Do them with your personal style and comments. It would be fun, a bit challenging for all, and a must read. Subscription. Siteline for explorers. $50 year or $10 each
2) Offer your past articles, posts, comments by year and category. A subscription. Get one per year $15
3) Siteline forum. Quarterly town hall ( via zoom or chat) on key issues in town ( pipeline, housing, state street, harbour/ cruise boats, et). Start with survey, do forum , Publish results
Yes, I started as a journalist at 14 ( sports for local papers) , MS journalism Northwestern Medill, PR, then MBA , Business , then CEO several large consumer corporations. Moved five times. Then author “ ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO COMMIT TO MAYBE” . WSJ/USA TODAY best seller. Love your stuff, keep going, be yourself, it’s fun. No more maybes!
