I think that’s a great idea, I’m going to get my buddy Morgan and some friends and saddle up a ride our horses to the Ospi /Post and tie them up down there, we will see how the towing company does with that…
Giovannis, Rusty’s, & Little Caesars are to pizza what McDonalds is to steak (and I’m a vegetarian).
RE: 5399 Baseline: This from Sub Zero/Wolf: Red knobs are a traditional and distinctive feature of Wolf ranges. They are often associated with the brand's high-quality, professional-style cooking ranges. While other knob colors like black or stainless steel are available, the iconic red knobs are a key identifier of a Wolf range.
11 anacapa st, outside of the parking lot of the bier garden
Or behind Flor de maiz
Killer place but no real attempt to provide bike parking.
This is basically to draw tourist and has similar restaurants already in town with 4 pizza places (now 5). I hope it is able to thrive and sustain itself during the off tourist season times. Bring back a restaurant and setting like the Palms!!!
I stopped by yesterday and could not find parking. They have a total of 6 spaces in the back. How is that even possible?? How was this project approved with only a few parking spaces??

Are you forced to be here ? No. I don't go to sites that post things I don't like. And I don't feel the need to post on their sites. Plenty of other places for you to go
Agree 100%. It's so simple and disarming to say, if you're the author, 'this person is my friend' or 'I work for this person'. And then reader keeps reading anyway, puts the article in a slightly different category/genre, enjoys and likely believers most of what is written. There is no downside to disclosure, no penalty for honesty. And in the end the reader doesn't feel deceived afterward, doesn't recast what he/read with a suspicious spin, nor care that the people involved know each other! It would still be an article of a bored billionaire (as someone mentioned) looking to find herself, but most people can relate to that, LOL. I wish her well in her art endeavor. Many people find meaning in art, a sub-category of 'beauty' which is Divine.

Great spot, but why beach towns ignore parking beats me. Ridiculous.
It’s a conflict of interest because Roger reports to Lynda at SBIFF, and depends on her for his paycheck. That’s not real journalism, it’s soft power fundraising, pay-to-play, false advertising and fake PR. By doing this, it protects his position, boosts her image as a “talented artist” worthy of museum placement, and shuts out true artists without insider access or financial privilege. This article damaged his credibility even more as a cultural leader and hers as a credible artist. This kind of closed-loop favoritism is exactly what’s wrong with Santa Barbara’s arts scene, and damages public trust for local news. Roger thinks he’s famous because he shakes hands with celebs and exploits this opportunity by being a “tastemaker” when he’s really catering to these bored and irrelevant aging billionaires and trust funders. Roger needs a clearer view on who he really is. And this woman needs to really sell her art along the crafty shoreline on Sundays.
In journalism, if you can't be objective, no matter the subject, you should be upfront about it, and the article in question was not. The relationship between Durling and Weinman should have been mentioned in the display type (headline, etc.) and the lede. And while it's true that I do have occasion to mention people with whom I'm friends, and/or their businesses, they're not profile-length cover stories in an outlet that purports to be playing by the longstanding rules of traditional journalism. Context definitely matters: Siteline is a subjective blog, through and through.
Referring to your post questioning the Independent articulate on Lynda Weinman. Why is it a conflict to have her friend Rodger Durling write it? She is not running for political office.
Writing an article about a friend is a common everyday occurrence and I am sure your publication has may examples. And by the your comment made me read the article which I thought was great

For me the real parking issue are the towing fees which are, I believe, over $400 now. It's excessive. Towing is a super regulated business, for obvious reasons, but the fees seem untether to reality and not incongruent to the offense. It's a very blunt instrument. Whether you made a mistake or were intentional, whether you parked for 10 minutes or 10 hours in the wrong place, you're paying big time. From a legal perspective I suppose people are trespassing and deserve what they get. From a human perspective people make mistakes and do stupid stuff when suddenly confronted with bad or no parking options and they are in a 4,000 lb contraption on wheels with no where to put it. If we still had horses someone could move your horse over to another post if you goof. Progress can be expensive, if convenient. I suppose all these places with parking problems will b go away once the robo-taxi arrives.
I believe there was split in the marriage....
It’s all great for now that it’s summertime let’s see how things are in the winter. I wish all these establishments luck because they will need it come November.

We were there this morning. It looks great and has a really buzzy atmosphere. I hope this continues.
Lantern Tree Books was supposed to be in there too, I wonder what happened
Please show me where it says rebuttal is not welcome? Please also don't overlook the reason I responded- it wasn't about the FOOD BANK, it was about the petty snide remark about President Trump- which has NO PLACE ON A FOOD BLOG POST....... "which does not believe that keeping its citizens from going hungry should be a priority." . President Trump is anti abortion, not anti kids eat healthy. VIVA POLITICS FREE SITELINE
Def didn't intend for my comment to read as angry. But not sure why upper village not wanted RH to park in their lot is "just gross"
Selfawarewolf says what?
Used to enjoy the comments section but they’ve been taken over by angry peevish keyboard warriors who need to calm down. Or stick to next door or political blogs/social media. Food bank donation gives us anti Biden tirade? Give me a break. Anyway, hope everyone is enjoying the warm weather and living in a beautiful place.
“J” has anger issues clearly.
The owners of upper village have generously subsidized local mom and pop businesses for the past few decades, and successfully resisted redevelopment bids from outside investors. Their stewardship of that property is a big reason that upper montecito has retained its charm. The CEO of RH bombs in and out of SB airport in his beige colored (obviously) “RH 1” private jet to make his tv appearances, yet can’t find the time to sort a parking solution for the restaurant that he required be built within close proximity to his house. Which one is gross, Dan?
