I love the Savoy Cafe. I hope it does t change too much.
I have watched the fence being constructed from day one, it is spectacular, and at the end of the day or in this case, …at the end of the fence “to each his own”. Creativity and artistry is a beautiful thing!

I was up on the trail below the Hot Springs on road from hotel towards saddle rock/San Ysidro and I saw like 40 people walking, none of them speaking English sounded like maybe German and they were going the wrong way from the Hot Springs. I wonder if this was the bus. Some were mighty red in the face from the heat.
I too love the fence and shrubbery! Thank you to the owner for investing so much care in something that can't be seen from her house. It would be such a shame if the county forced its removal for a sidewalk (the other side of sycamore canyon is much less developed, why not put the sidewalk there?)
I attended SBCC 67-68 when the campus was way smaller. Even as a distracted college student I marveled at the amazing location. They had just installed those prefab classrooms and they were known as “The Temporary” rooms. Lol

I love the Malkin's fence ! I loved watching the construction from the beginning of the project and thought how amazing it was to have a person/people create a work of art on their property for everyone to enjoy.
Lovely post, as usual. It's wonderful to see all the details you notice.
Why does a name change bother you so much? Chill out buddy.
Dario is waiting for approval of the pony ride and petting zoo here before he can open.
Dario's hotel has taken what seems like a bazillion years to construct. Will it ever open?
that's what I thought when I saw the photo, what's up with the wall?
I wonder if the politics of Montecito with regards to sanctuary jurisdictions (and California as a sanctuary state) will now — that celebrities and wealthy athletes are being harmed — change.
I wish you’d quit changing the name now it’s called Mission Inn
So excited for corazon cocina in Ventura!!!
Rolld ice cream appears to be a riff on the Cold Stone concept. Very hard to overcome the labor input and time interval between order and served. A personal bias, but black gloves just appear garage mechanic, not foodservice to me.

Congratulations on this huge endeavor! I am a somatic-based yoga teacher and Thai Massage practitioner in the Santa Ynez Valley. I am very interested in learning how we can work together. Thank you!
I'm afraid not.

Seems like a very unwelcoming space as you walk in to Mission City Sandwich Shop. You enter to a big wall wrapped around the sandwich making space. You have to walk towards the back of the room to a small register/ordering area. After looking over the menu on their back wall, we walked down to the register/order area only to be ignored by those working behind "the wall." Several of them looked towards us but didn't actually walk over to see what we'd like to order until I actually waved my hand to them. After being ignored and noticing behind us several people waiting for their order, we decided to exit to visit one of the surrounding restaurants. Hoping this sandwich shop can become welcoming, or at least teach their staff to acknowledge those of us who are there to purchase food. Thank you.
The Maxwell’s on Lomita and El Roblar in Mainers Oaks had a Tortoise Reserve. They were in their 80’s when I first met them. I was with Steve Chase from Supervisor Lacy’s office. I was the County Building Inspector and unusual flooding caused major problems for their property. Did many of the turtles and tortoises come from the Maxwell’s?
