sounds great to me!
The Santa Barbara City Council's proposed "rent stabilization ordinance" should be called a "rent reduction ordinance" since it mandates that rent increases will be well below the annual percentage increase in the CPI.
Bodega Flower Girl has the best prepared food-so fresh and healthy!!
But does this bodega have a cat?
Did Zaca Lake get new owners? A new fictitious business statement says an llc out of Torrance / a Mr Damir Pevec on the llc
The locked green pole thing is a municipal water testing station.
Interesting how all these kitchens look dated, even the ones that seem to have been done recently (though once the rage, the all black cabinet trend was never a good idea since they absorb light and show fingerprints).
JRMarks, I couldn't agree with you more! That building is a hot mess.
I walked the Miramar the other day and the shower and restrooms are still there, next to Caruso's.
So- something tells me that you have never been to Santa Ynez nor visited the Maverick? The cowboys weren't put off by the dancing- they and we were put off by the foul attitude of the women, and their insitence that their show overrode our show- they took it so much further....
Talking is inexcusable at any show.
But fyi, people stand and dance at Sturgill concerts. It’s a country rock concert, not a symphony.
I’ve seen him all over the country and the SB show last year was the stiffest and lamest crowd. The “cowboys” were clearly feeling threatened by anyone who moves to music.
Brass Bird is delicious! What a great addition to the San Roque area. If you like a good sticky bun, they have one of the best IMO.
Incredibly hyped for Sturgill Simpson 👏
The previous concert w/ Sturgill Simpson at @sbbowl was my worst concert experience in 40 yrs at the venue- the crowd was chatty, inebriated and entitled. The group behind us was discussing a parent/teacher disagreement for the entire show while the row in front of us (separated by a concrete walkway), let us know they’d be standing the entire show and we could suck it. My $400 tickets got me a view of 4 large gals- the cowboy couple next to us were seething enough to unload 4 beers on the gals- which started a drunk whirling dervish of threats and non action to any of the 6 by staff.
I will stick to The Siren in Morro Bay and The Fremont in SLO- and am excited to see a show at The Libby this summer in Ojai- have fun at the LA invaded Bowl ya’ll
The SB Courthouse!
The trip reviews are all terrific - especially loved the Vietnam reveiws...
Pershing Park
The Flock cameras are not new. They have been there for many months. I charge my car at the resort and have seen them at least since the fall of last year.
I understand the owners of this new cafe live in our beloved San Roque neighborhood.? I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart. I have been in to the brass bird every day since they opened and I am so impressed with the quality of food and coffee not to mention the beautiful space they created. .
. Thank you for this wonderful establishment. I can’t wait to visit your other location in carpinteria.
Love

Agree with you about Ha Long Bay. Found it disgustingly dirty and overcrowded. Plus the commute to get there and the forced shopping stop.
We live in the neighborhood and like to take walks along the beach and through the property. One time we approached the Miramar via the beach and were denied access by a guard who said it was closed for a private event. When the Biltmore was open they closed to the public for private events too.
Don’t forget the Miramar is also required to provide beach access public toilets and a shower located to the left of Caruso’s. Somehow it’s evolved into a dog shower. So now you and your dog can park in front, walk through the grounds to the beach and afterwards, shower your dog on the way home. Good deal.
I was also trying to make a joke…
In Carpinteria, is there
-- a fresh bakery to buy fresh baked breads, pastries and or cookies muffins?
-- a healthy salad take out not a brewery? Zookers has good salads but th environment is horrible? The new Linden Square is a bit disappointing for these types of items.
-- a sandwich on fresh baked bread not PBJ's like Montesano Gourmet
Who knew Mike and Carol Brady moved to Las Canoas? (I can see the kids' talent shows coming down that impressive staircase while Alice smiles approvingly.)
Lots of diamonds in the rough in today's post!
