The state of State: What Would it Take to Rescue Santa Barbara’s State Street?
Just returned from a great 3 nights in Santa Barbara, all of which was spent either on Stae Street or at the Wharf and Harbor. Excellent amount of crowds all over. Best I have seen it since prior to the pandemic. Best of all, the sidewalks were packed with people shopping. The restaurants were buzzing all along Stae, not just the 500 block, but all the way up to Victoria. Paseo Nuevo, many people in there and business was thriving. The new ryles governing the size and colors of the outside dining along with the pushing them back toward the cubs, made the street look tidy, neat and looked clean The lines for bikers are better dilineated keeping them apart from the street pedestrian strollers. The regular homeless unfortunates , who never bother anyone, were there but sparser and the element that was more aggressive, was gone. There are now beat cops on State Street. Saw them on the 500 block and a few cruisers parked right off State higher up. Stae was doing an incredible Memorial day business, both below the overpass where vehicles are allowed, and 500 and up where it is closed to traffic. Found that interesting. Overall we were just elated. Great weekend. Weather was amazing....as usual . Hit all our haunts. Staek at Holdrens. Great new England Clam Chowder and Shrimp and chips at the Fishhouse. Pizza at Olio Pizzaria...delicious, and being half Italian from NY...I am a pizza snob....LOL and last but not least, plenty of stops at Joes Cafe! Ever have a prime rib sandwich there? To die for! Sat night, the other streets were buzzing too. We were on Santa Barbara St and heard this great music coming from a dark side path. Wound up it was a charity event for a Hospice and the old group 'Public Enemy' was playing at the event. Man were they good.

Duh.... It's THE ECONOMY...! Have any of you gone out to local restaurants and seen the price increases...? Breakwater, $22 bucks for an omelet, Joe's, 30% increase in every item on the menu.... The economy SUCKS!

Looks beautiful! There is another book about growing up in I.V. called The Goat Lady's Son by J.C. Scales. Not for the faint of heart but worth the read.

Ask a business owner, not an Edhat armchair “expert” or anyone from City Hall who’s never owned a business. Then go with that.
The state of State: What Would it Take to Rescue Santa Barbara’s State Street?
Because they eschew rational thought. People that are crying about opening up State St. to cars have one position; "it was better before". Why? How? What has changed? Is everything now as it was five years ago other than the car closure? But no. tHInkINg Is hARd. IT WAS JUST BETTER BEFORE THAT'S ALL!
The state of State: What Would it Take to Rescue Santa Barbara’s State Street?
It seems even this has somehow become political. Among the folks I know and the comments on Facebook I've seen, it's pretty much along party lines - conservatives generally seem to want cars back, liberals generally don't. Again, this is just anecdotal and of my observation, so take it or leave it. But, I started wondering, why? Covid? Could it be that the conservative outrage over Covid closures is fueling it? I keep reading comments like "covid is over, open it back up." Is that why many support re-opening State to cars? Is it that nostalgia for how things were before the "liberal elite" closed down our country? Is it more a hatred of "closures" and what that stood for than a true economic-driven support for cars on State? Despite the lack of any real meaningful evidence, study, prediction, etc showing cars equals better business, so many are clamoring to "open it up." Maybe that's why? Still haven't seen a single credible argument that cars will help while there's sky high rents, online competition, city red tape, etc. Maybe there's not.

Heaps of Dead Fish at Leadbetter Beach
Absolutely no self awareness. According to him, one of our best and brightest, yet still absolutely no clue. Oh wait, I forgot he lied about all that stuff. Yeah, sounds about right for this one.

Dave; thank you for sharing your "art therapy" with us. It's always great with the wording aligned with the photographs. After verifying my "download" from the RC 2024 post, I was reminded of another gem I'd saved & labeled "henry artwork" (you called it "edhat_5_4") gleaning that from here: https://www.edhat.com/news/special-wednesdays-with-henry/ I guess what I'm trying to express is how much I feel, YOU are appreciated here. Never hesitate to "Go to your happy place.” !
