We want to thank our local community for your support and patronage through these ever changing times. It is because of YOU that we had so much success in the 36 long years of business. We share an ethereal love for our customers and have memories that we will cherish forever. We will continue to be open for takeout roughly until the end of January till inventories last.

Southwest Airlines announced which cities it’ll service from Santa Barbara starting on April 12: “three daily departures to Las Vegas, one daily flight to Denver and one daily flight to Oakland.” There’s hope the airline will add more as air travel recovers.

In November, I reported that Corazón Cocina‘s Ramon Velazquez had taken over the former Ca’Dario Pizzeria space at 29 E. Victoria Street, but that was all I knew—and given the proximity to Corazón Cocina’s outpost in the Santa Barbara Public Market, I wondered whether this was a relocation rather than a new establishment. Well, it is indeed a new endeavor.

Other area hotels have joined the Rosewood Miramar Beach in signing up with ResortPass, so you can pay a day-use fee to hang out by the pool: Belmond El Encanto (from $50, above), Mar Monte Hotel (from $45), the Hotel Californian (from $40), and the Kimpton Goodland (from $10). None of the hotels are offering the passes at this time, and those rates are presumably for Monday through Thursday, and much higher Friday through Sunday.
