Happy New Year Eric!! I LOVE Siteline and look forward to reading it every week. Being a major foodie I really enjoy the restaurant updates. Thanks for all you do to keep us informed!!
Haters hate because they are jealous. Keep on doing your amazing work with Siteline. It’s my entire go-to for anything Santa Barbara and I’m always telling people about it! Your hard work is appreciate by many!!
Erik! I love siteline and look forward to reading it whenever I get it…keep up the good work and a big thank you !
We were turned onto your website shortly after moving here in 2021. Thank you for so much for having it and we do rely on it for restaurant recommendations, etc..
Love your food stuff. Please never stop making this!
Honestly, ramp up the honesty more if only to piss off the Montecito right wing NIMBYs.
Thank you for the virtual road trip. What a wild ride. So much great information about Vegas. I will use it on my next visit. Bravo!

Comment section is definitely a plus. Please keep it.
Ditto. It’s a pleasure to read the Siteline. Thanks for your care.
Good idea LE! For lesser known local events it would help them with exposure while providing the SB community something we could be missing out on. I'm sure we'd all appreciate it.
Totally agree!
Your publication and approach is useful, interesting and candid. I love it. Today’s news is either so slanted or too bland ( save NPR). Your real estate reviews are my favorite, especially in this town, where so much celebrity and realtor hype is misleading. My “ideas” per your request are 1) Guide/ratings mini publications on local restaurants, real estate, hotels, entertainment , beaches, surrounding towns. Do them with your personal style and comments. It would be fun, a bit challenging for all, and a must read. Subscription. Siteline for explorers. $50 year or $10 each
2) Offer your past articles, posts, comments by year and category. A subscription. Get one per year $15
3) Siteline forum. Quarterly town hall ( via zoom or chat) on key issues in town ( pipeline, housing, state street, harbour/ cruise boats, et). Start with survey, do forum , Publish results
Yes, I started as a journalist at 14 ( sports for local papers) , MS journalism Northwestern Medill, PR, then MBA , Business , then CEO several large consumer corporations. Moved five times. Then author “ ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO COMMIT TO MAYBE” . WSJ/USA TODAY best seller. Love your stuff, keep going, be yourself, it’s fun. No more maybes!

Erik, I love your newsletter just as it is, and always recommend it to everyone. The information about local news, events, and real estate is great. We’ve gotten some great ideas about travel, local restaurants, and I have followed your steps in “Walk with Me”. Your writing style, humor, and snark are so fun and engaging - please don’t change a thing!
Thank you so much for this helpful article. My husband is taking his mom next week and was looking for some fun activities. I am expecting they will get similar looks about seniors on the thrill rides.
How about “musings from staring at the black line at 6AM”? Or maybe a “mind-numbing to mind-blowing” scale for the main sets? JK!!! Everyone at the pool loves Siteline!!!
Love Siteline...thank you!
Siteline is invaluable! We appreciate your point of view. Santa Barbara is better for your takes and observations. Your thoughtful writing is honest and true. Please keep it up!
You are a treasure and I love your aesthetics!
I’d pay for a subscription. And I don’t mind the marketing emails. Please keep up the good work. The complaints come from people who need Metamucil.
Happy Cat Eats doesn’t allow the public to use the handicap spot anyways. The owner parks her Telsa in the spot illegally daily
Our family loves, and reads your posts all the time. My daughters from out of town read it, so then know where to go when they visit. You are a fabulous resource!! I would be willing to support in anyway I can. Thank you!
Love your wit, honesty, and ability to stay on top of new retail/restaurants. We look forward to all
Your posts, and emails. I know it can be a grind, but keep grinding cuz you are making a difference !!
