free refills, of course, right??
Lots and lots of hotel expansion and new hotel approvals all over Santa Barbara.
Also SB spending a fortune tracking down citizens who use their rentals on a short term basis (like hotels). In fact, most of Santa Barbara is zoned to eliminate short term rentals; yet new hotels can go in the same areas.
I would say they can’t have it both ways — but they clearly can.
The Post should focus on a lot of things. Also lock the restrooms properly so the homeless aren't sleeping in there overnight (this is even with the existing code lock). Lock in a better outdoor playlist (and please turn the volume down - this is not an outdoor Miami mall). Lock in a LOCAL property manager instead of showing up whenever she wants to from LA to walk her dog around the courtyard and then leave. Lock in an arborist to manage the palm fronds constantly falling on cars in the parking lot. Lock your wallet in the car because there are only expensive shops and nothing local/reasonable/reflection of SB lifestyle. And get those (hair) locks ready to choose from 20+ hairstylists coming soon to the upstairs ?? Renovation looks nice despite termite mess in most stores, but the store choices are not that useful in my opinion.
We trumpnuts.
The Post better focus on a bike lock area.
Exactly. We are tired of DEI being shoved down our throats. What a novel ( & fiscal) concept… to book the most talented regardless of their gender.
Traditional should be thin but bending down the middle will hold up.
Worked at Michael Anthonys back in the day and eaten a lot of pizza in NY.
Of course if the flavor is there really doesn't matter.
I visited the harbor restaurant over mothers day weekend. What a joke! who are the new owners of this place $435.00 for 4 people will never go back. Terrible service and the food was 2 stars. What a waste of money.

Valet is gone from the wharf
Same, actually. I’ll be there too.
IMO, the strange thing is the Hilton just spent $$$ to convert the tennis courts into pickleball courts, only to erect story poles, so they can’t be used. I don’t think they were ever used. These courts will now be a casualty of this proposed construction. Odd.
As a Carpinterian i am so excited for new places opening up in Carp. Every since we lost Fosters, The Palms, Beach liquor, etc. I wouldnt mind some more options in town. Looking forward to the Nugget as well.
Btw, a regular cup of coffee is $3.25. Not bad!
Last week an opportunity presented itself to visit the Starbucks on Milpas Street and Gutierrez. What a nice shop! Highly recommend.
Try Bristol Farms. They have roast turkey daily
They do this at the Harbor restaurant for Sunday brunch. Takes up 1/2 the parking on the harbor for like 3 cars. I won’t eat there until they share the lot.
That's in today's Odds & Ends post, which will run in the email newsletter that comes out on Wednesday.
No one in SB is going to pay $15 for valet parking. Agree with other comment; money grab from out of touch LA based owner/operator and bad 1st impression.
Hi. Looking for aplace where I can pick up roasted turkey -- not a sandwich, just a take out. Many years ago used to pick this up at a HofBrau.
thanks for your help

Unless I missed it, I guess the Anacapa/Gutierrez road modification near REI made IG but not the newsletter. I feel it’s one of the more fantastic and no brainer mods in years for so many reasons.
NY or not I’m so stoked to see what appears to be a legit slice joint on that side of State St. I’m highly critical of pizza and that photo and the ones online look fantastic.

The sad truth about being a public school teacher in CA is that your employment contract is only for one school year. So, every spring, teachers go through the stress and angst of wondering whether or not they will get a contract for the following school year.
Teachers are shuffled around all the time -- to a different subject, a different grade -- depending on the needs of the district. It's like a big chess game & the teachers are pawns.
I taught for 15 years (10 years in CA) and I know firsthand how incredibly stressful this is. On top of that, spring is when you are handling CA standardized testing, field trips, IEP meetings, conferences, wrapping up the school year and making sure students are well prepared for the next school year.
From the looks of it so far, dammit you’re right.
I get why some places have valet parking, but not small shopping areas (like the Post) where valet parking does not really shorten the walk and actually wastes time. It’s just a blatant money grab from the landlord, and I would expect the owners of the many businesses there that want people to walk in and browse are not going to be happy. I recently ordered takeout from Ospi and had to grab the last space in the bird refuge lot (the street parking was full). Doubtful I will do that again.
