Love that!
In re: "...describe a flip that’s more about getting out (ideally whole) than trying to make a quick dime."
May I suggest a "floops" ?
You can tell that Ellens messages is so true from this news, it's all about love and treating each other with kindness.
What I find interesting about the re-striping is that “sales tax from businesses like restaurants, hotels, food, drugs, building, and construction were up 3-7 percent in Old Town”
It’s literally just the auto dealerships and shops struggling.
I'm still trying to figure out if "Wedgie Salad" is a typo or not.
They are all local brews that cost $9 at the breweries. That’s a pretty standard price…also who goes to cutlers and gets a beer? But if you do want one he’s sourced the best!
We’ve gone to Cutlers now 2-3 times and have been very impressed. The burnt ends broccoli is incredible.
11$ for a draft beer what a joke!
Cutler’s is selling their locally produced, premium alcohol, and prices reflect such…
If he likes them, they just released tall boys (19.2oz/568ml) on their website for general order.
I thought the same thing as City@SB. The Ellwood has ocean views, Cutler is very much in the industrial area of town. Not in this Drunk Zone you speak of.
My husband couldn’t drink for awhile (medication) and really liked the Athletic Free Wave IPA. It’s got .05 alcohol content so less then you wanted. He’s still drinking it and enjoying it!
Topa Topa did 2% IPA in the fall of 2021 as a limited release but I'm not aware of any local breweries that have one on tap currently. It seems like the focus have shifted to releasing non-alcoholic options in parallel (i.e. Firestone 805 Zero, Fig Mountain now have a few options).
And you are amazed at that....why? Are you under the mistaken impression that rents in The Drunk Zone are cheap....?
Always amazes me how some eating establishments in the industrial parts of Santa Barbara can charge the same prices or more than the high end restaurants on Coast Village Road.
There's a mobile security camera on a construction site near me, and when it senses an intruder it has a loud speaker that says "Your presence has been noted and law enforcement has been contacted". (So far I haven't seen any law enforcement show up, but don't tell anyone).
"We appreciate your PATIENT during this process" should have been a giveaway." LOL
There seems to be one at Ralph's on Carrillo, too

I have never been — and fully appreciate your travel journal. What an enjoyable read of morning coffee. I admire the details and approach you take to life and have a better understanding of Phoenix because of it. Thank you.
Terrific story on Phoenix
Enjoyed your report a lot
In La Arcada
I can’t believe a pug growled at you. The cool thing about solo travel is that you get complete agenda control. Sounds like the type of trip that I might have enjoyed.
Since in many cases, on many sites, it is unaffordable to even build unaffordable ('market') housing, how could it be affordable for a developer to build affordable housing? It's not. Let the Housing authority build the affordables. And let developers build the unaffordables. Maybe if we get enough unaffordable units built they will be more affordable, LOL! Everyone hates the greedy developers. It's understandable. But we kind of need them. They do take big risks and so at times there are big rewards. I think it takes a lot of guts and ambition to pull these things off. Profit is their scorecard and that is what motivates them. Perhaps we can teach community ethics in business school. Maybe not worshipping money, talent, success, fame as a society is a better start than name calling or shaming. We need to create people who just want to be part of a community, rather than simply use it - or be on top of it. I heard it's lonely at the top so that's better for them as well. I think we need to come together on this and meet in the middle, rather than stay in our silos or stuck in the corners.
