Awesome show. That guy is gnarly. Swimming with giant fish zooming around, bullsharks below, while pushing around a shopping cart sized camera. Very alarming with the section on the slaughter going on down in Chile makes the point that if you cannot get the world as a whole to sign up for conservation, many species may perish. The show gives you new respect for those giant stuffed plastic fish that you see on the wall of a bar or resort. Kind of sad too.

Thanks binky, I was uninformed.
But I am not sure we are out of the woods with that one yet from the sounds of the rest of the article. It sounds like someone else can take it over, and do whatever the #!@$%@#$ they want with it? (Wendy's EX was mentioned) As long as they have the cash! Makes you wonder with such a HUGELY visible and important area of down town, and the current state of economy/real estate, is that area just going to be another Miramar and sit there for another 5 or so years, half torn down and empty? I think Fess should take over! Daniel Boone to the rescue?

So does that mean we can remove the big ones on Chapala? The bummer about these decisions/compromises is that they are too late and then we all have to live with the eternal damnation (of the sun hitting the west side of Chapala Street). Why were those projects not scrutinized further before they were approved? Just wait till Levy's La Entrails project gets completed. Make a mess, get your cash, and then SPLIT! The new American way?

I want to know who the people with the lemon badges are going to support so I can vote for the opposite. Finally the Costal Commission to the rescue? Hmmm. I hope this is so, but we will see. That Bacara is a slippery, slimy fish. What about when Arnold or some other "special" people show up and they take it upon them selves to shut down the whole area? Whatever candidate gets in, I hope someone gets some nads to stand up to these people. Eminent domain!!!!!

Have you ever seen the Bargain Network Employment adds run on TV? Sort of a combination of a really tacky Carl’s Junior add (a chick shoving a burger in her face while riding a mechanical bull), and a late night hoochie text messaging/calling social networking service. Terrible. We need to have an all-star awards ceremony of crappiest entities in SB/Goleta. This entity would get most shady business award or maybe cheesiest local TV ad award? In the words of Wayne and Garth, "I think I'm gonna hurl!"

A shining example of business ethics: ripping off old ladies for information that is free anyway? Then working their credit cards over after? Shame on you! Easier for kids to sit on their asses and lie to people than to actually work? There has got to be a better way to keep people around here gainfully employed. Don't let the door hit you in the ass to hard.

II think she should go to court and write about it! Betcha that would be another good column. Nice work.
I live near Las Positas, and also have a 2-1/2 year old. Seriously I have heard cars/motorcycles ROAR past my house doing 80+ mph at night. Days are not quite as bad, but still, I’ve had a couple car accidents wind up in the yard. My little one was a real eye opener for me on driving. Every morning when I see the motorcycle cops with their radar guns on the way to work, I throw them the thumbs up and say thanks and good work. I have offered coffee and doughnuts, but they say no strangely enough.

Wait till Wendy McCaw’s EX Craig, builds his pad right next door. Then it's REALLY going to suck trying to go to the beach. There will be security geeks everywhere. Too funny as you watch the Miramar sit there in ruins for how many years? I think to myself, wouldn't these people have been more comfortable out in Montecito instead on a tar filled beach (that is disappearing) next to an oil/natural gas facility?

So the language is protecting my right to rent/own a timeshare at the Bacara? That is AWESOME! Now I can sleep easier tonight in my lemon badge pajamas. It is truly sad that neither this city, nor its leadership has the nads to stand up to these bullies. They treat us with disrespect, and we reward them with what they want. All because they give you money regardless of what is right and wrong. Hmmm, isn't there another profession like that?

Yes everyone PLEASE GO VOTE. Note the Willie Chamberlin debacle. Because of him, we got the Bacara. 2 votes! Then he was dethroned. Too bad the health spa next to an oil refinery could not be removed as well or at least be forced to obey the law. One other point of interest: Andy Caldwell, WHAT A TOOL. Doesn't even live in the third district, talks of wasted this and that, yet how much of our taxpayer money does he waste as he has the council sit there and listen to his useless self promoting banter?
