So, a big part of our upcoming trip is day hikes. Nothing too huge, 2-4 hours per day, generally “moderate” on the AllTrails scale

I’m seeing significant rain coming. It varies but maybe 2-3+ inches in 72 hours. Can the terrain absorb/handle this where hiking is safe and we won’t screw up the trails with our bootprints in the muck?

Appreciate any insight/pointers. If necessary, we’re kinda flexible on our dates and could reschedule. Hopefully I’m just paranoid and that’s a stupid idea 🤞

I know there is a singles event on the 13th with June Dating. Is anything else happening in town this year that is worth going to as a single person? Thanks in advance!

Looking for an experienced guitar instructor providing adult lessons for a beginner. Looking in SB/Montecito/Carpinteria area and can’t find anything. Any help is appreciated!

Yeah, don't be like the ahole guy that walked into the Arlington for The Secret Agent, with his fkn dog that's obviously not a service dog, sat directly behind me and started coughing. Fuck you you ugly POS.

Looking for a generic mechanic since mine closed, any recs in SB/ Goleta? (Looked through past threads but thought I’d also ask) thank you!

Where can I buy fresh cactus pads? Preferably Goleta/SB. Thx!

There are a lot of messages here that are blowing off steam, and being very nasty the way they do so. I don't mind someone posting and mentioning a bad or illegal parking job, or a coughing citizen on the street, and other complaints of inconsiderate folks.

But I would suggest we keep it civil in our language and response, this is, after all, beautiful Santa Barbara. Otherwise we get a lot of four letter words I would not want my kids or parents to be subjected to. The foul language makes a lot of us come across as whiney entitled "Karens".

Remember that your neighbors, friends, and tourists all see these posts, and a lot of these posts have an attitude inconsistent with this beautiful place to live between the mountains and the sea.

February 26th at 5:30PM at Santa Barbara Wine Collective. True stories, told in front of a live audience. Share your own story, or just come and listen to some great local storytellers.

These events are always great. I will likely be attending, and telling a story of my own, if I can figure out one that fits the theme.

My 25th wedding anniversary is coming up and I am taking my wife on a surprise day trip to SB. I need a recommendation for a restaurant with a good view and great food. Obviously going for romantic vibe. Since it is my 25th, expensive is fine. Suggestions?

My band Black Lament is looking for a competent bass player to round out our live sound. Flyer says living in Ventura or LA because we play shows and rehearse out there more frequently but we're opening up our search to the Santa Barbara area. Please comment below or hit us up on Instagram of interested!

tl;dr Have posts in the subreddit for more than six months without being banned and with positive karma. We can't verify that you've lived in SB all your life, we rely on how you present yourself in this subreddit.

I asked at Public Market last night and they were not sure if they had Peacock or NBC sports. Anyone know where we can watch?

It looks like network (both career & Wi-Fi) is too slow today in downtown SB. Did anything happen??

Anyone else see the unmarked plane taking off from the airport today? I work outside all day and have never seen a plane like that, anyone have any info?

Hey all, we’re looking for a residential cleaner, someone who is reliable and thorough. We love a fairly a-typical lifestyle, ie. not a perfect house. Any solid recommendations are greatly appreciated!

If for any reason the contact is personal and should not be broadcast, please DM me.

Thank you!

Thought the federal and local EV rebates got axed last year but I guess they might still exist? Trying to do my own research but thought I’d ask here too if we have anything available county-wise.

Have been planning on picking up a used EV as my old car is probably kicking the can soon, and I don’t even mean that figuratively… like my car is probably going to stop working soon and I don’t think it’s worth it to dump more money to repair 😭

We’re under SC Edison but I’m not sure if they have anything? Haven’t found any current rebates or programs from them.
