••• The Veronica Beard boutique at 1269 Coast Village Road has opened. It’s the brand’s tenth shop.
••• According the the Hayes Commercial Group‘s third-quarter report, Elysium Strength & Wellness has opened at 187 S. Patterson Avenue in Goleta, and Mighty Pilates is coming to 1014 State Street (Carrillo/Figueroa), which will be the company’s 12th location. UPDATE: Mighty Pilates has apparently opened.
••• Up till now, I had yet to hear of someone I actually know having his or her house burgled. “They went in by breaking a panel out of a sliding glass door—a messy but quick way in,” says my friend R. “Our alarm system was armed thankfully and worked perfectly. They were apparently after cash or jewelry. The event happened at 5:52 p.m. so it seems these guys get an early start with the time change! The SBPD has been great throughout this event by the way.” I’m not sure what the takeaway here is other than to be vigilant—turn your alarm on when you leave and perhaps invest in some cameras.
••• You know how organizations like Arts & Lectures and the Music Academy of the West sell subscriptions to themed groups of shows? The Santa Barbara Bowl should consider following suit. It could have one called Still At It that combines the many shows by legacy acts, like the one Train and Barenaked Ladies play at the venue on August 22.
••• One for the calendar: the inaugural Santa Barbara Literary Festival on May 2 and 3.
••• The Historic Landmarks Commission’s November 19 agenda includes the interpretive display to commemorate the railroad bridge that will get torn down as part of the Los Patos Way project. These kinds of markers can’t but strike a weird note: there used to be something special here, before we removed it.

Still At It!! Perfect.

For the robberies definitely set up cameras that alert you, these organized South American gangs are going in through natural areas to backyards all throughout affluent Southern California communities.
If you back up to a natural area, definitely put cameras out on the perimeter as well. Unfortunately, these guys walk through the natural areas completely masked up so even if you can catch them on camera, unlikely that they will actually catch them.
Hopefully they will.
Be smart with your valuables. When consequences are taken away for criminals, like they have been in California, people get very brazen protect your families and your loved ones while our state and local government do not.
Might a 125 yearold railroad bridge with two 56-foot riveted steel deck girder spans be at or approaching the end of its safe lifespan?
Maybe something about the Chinese & Japanese laborers & the discovery of sea urchins, creating a market in Asia that continues today?
