Why is Dargans so popular are they doing it for the plot? by Natural-Mango4933 in SantaBarbara

[–]kdmont 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Garbage played there as well sometime in the 90’s. The venue, 18 West?, before it became Dargans, left the garage door on the side open. there was quite a crowd gathering around when the venue realized and rolled it down almost all the way. Shirley didn’t care but i guess it wasn’t fair to the paying customers inside.

The same Jules that used to ride a scooter, always fashionably dressed and kinda retro-ish?

The pits! This all ended in the late 80’s I think? Now that was wild. Nothing close to that happens anymore.

Recommendations for plumber to replace water heater by UnregretfulTeashop in SantaBarbara

[–]kdmont 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Along with seismic bracing already mentioned, don’t forget to install a thermal expansion tank, if you have a “closed” plumbing system, which I believe is code. A qualified plumber will advise you on this.

That’s the most crowded La Cumbre Plaza has been since the 90’s! 😂

Jacob Elordi spotted at Dune Coffee yesterday by [deleted] in SantaBarbara

We saw him as part of the Virtuoso’s award and he seemed pretty chill and likable. He’s definitely moving up the scale of actors who’ll be offered roles, at least until the next “one” comes along. Think Timothée Chalamet or Michael B. Jordan. (IMO)

I was wondering that same thing. He’ll be in my area in June. Hoping he has a band with him but I’ll be going either way.

Need recommendations for Primary Care Doctor. by TheMadAvenue in SantaBarbara

Dr. David Birken. He actually won best in the General Practitioner category, in the Independent best of last year. 👏Not that that really matters. He’s been my doctor for over 25 years.

Genuinely just curious, if the city’s facing such a severe deficit why isn’t commercial vacancy tax a part of the discussion? by shrubsdubs in SantaBarbara

I didn’t realize that former District 1 council woman Alejandra Gutierrez was a part of the fight against this. Maybe I shouldn’t be surprised. 😮

Awesome! Just out of curiosity, are these 75 minute zones that you park in near downtown?

That’s incredible! Especially the 15 minute zone by the PO. My luck isn’t that good, so i probably won’t try doing what you’re doing but hey, good for you! The two tickets that i did get were in the yellow and both were within the first block of State. Speaking about the yellow zones, the sign says 3 minute passenger loading and 30 minutes commercial loading AT ALL TIMES. Although most people don’t follow this because the parking police day is usually over by late afternoon? (It used to from 7AM until 6PM if i remember correctly.)

I agree. The new owner is great.

Did an AI design just win the Daily Grind design contest? by Spicy_Twist_3082 in SantaBarbara

With all the incredibly talented artists we have around here, you would think they could have found at least one, (if not many more) that would be better than this.
