California Dreaming.....

I was downtown checking out some things and wandered over to Jimmy's Oriental Gardens..it's long since closed of course, but as I walked on a little more I noticed these beautiful food aromas wafting over the sidewalk..the sub sandwich place..I'll be back there soon! Then past Sojourner's Cafe..mmm good..then I was hit with the most lovely, strong bouquet that was a wonderfully sensual experience.....C'est Cheese... cool little store with more cheese than a Louisiana brothel....C'est bon!

Ah...the French! this is good ol' Santa Barbara!!

thank god they saved Jimmy's....

City of Santa Monica to Cut Down 40 Ficus Trees

KCAL 9 News reports that Santa Monica plans to cut down 40 ficus trees to make a more inviting shopping experience! Apparently, some business owners say the trees lining the business district streets make it too dark and scary for shoppers! Talk about stupid!!

BOYCOTT MESA SHOPPING CENTER!!

Now, the Mesa Shopping Center is doing the same thing..cutting down pines and eucs to get a modernized look.... the clueless Marilynn Leafdale of Investec, who owns the property, said the new look will be more appealing to Santa Barbara shoppers..another southern transplant with no respect for nature telling you what SB should look like! DISGUSTING!! Look, you can update buildings and inject botox into your silly face, but you can't update trees..these were healthy specimens should not have been cut down for such ridiculous reasons!

Less trees, more shoppers!?!?

All they need to do is PRUNE them! Who ARE these people??
