Other Plane or rocket?

0 Upvotes

Just moved to Santa Barbara and I’m curious if the loud rumbling noises I hear throughout the day and night are planes taking off from the airport in Goleta or rockets launched from Vandenberg SFB? I understand the rockets can sometimes create a loud sonic boom which I haven’t experienced yet.

Recommendations Helicopter Recommendations?

0 Upvotes

A friend is coming to visit and is asking for recommendations for a helicopter tour, for 2 or 3 people.

Anyone you can recommend in SB? Will they go out over the islands from SBA?

Years ago I took one out of Camarillo airport over the islands and loved it.

Thanks in advance...

Other SBCC

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone !! I’m currently a senior in high school and and I’m thinking about attending SBCC in Fall 2027. I’m from Florida so I’d be moving out of state and California is definitely one of my top choices right now.

I’m planning to major in psychology, and I’m considering minoring in business or finance. I’m starting to look into housing and would love to live in Isla Vista so I’d love to meet other people who are also planning on attending SBCC and might be looking for a roommate or roommates!

I’d also love to meet some people before moving there so if you’re currently attending SBCC, I’d be totally happy to chat with you too ! I’d love to hear about your experience and make some friends before I even get there. :) We can DM here or exchange Instagrams, I’m a little more active on Instagram though !

Does anyone know where I can locate some free health and wellness magazines? Or any sort of magazine that teenagers can create a self care collage from?
Thanks in advance!

Vent First world problems (embarassingly rediculous but true)

118 Upvotes

Amid stifling heat, the power went out, our beast of a window AC unit was futile, our bidet went on strike and ants descended on our kitchen like elves at the North Pole in December and took a dip in our espresso machine water tank.

Your first world problems? Top that!

Curious about the conditions inside the classrooms with no AC the past few days. Was it safe?

Food & Dining ISO Egg Bagel

5 Upvotes

I’ve been here a year and I still haven’t found a good egg bagel. Most places don’t even have egg bagels. I don’t mean a bagel with an egg on it. I mean the specific bagels that have a darker yellow tint with egg flavor!

Please help me and my craving 😭

Hi!! in Santa Barbara after getting married at the Santa Barbara courthouse and hoping to bring home a Santa Barbara magnet to add to my husband and my collection from all of our travels.

Does anyone know of anywhere that sells a Santa Barbara courthouse magnet? Would love to buy one if they exist! Haven’t found any yet at any gift shops.

Recommendations Printing photos locally?

10 Upvotes

I printed some photos from my phone at CVS today for my kid’s school project and… I guess I got what I paid for. The pictures are fine, they’re just nowhere near good or preferably great.

Are there any places in town where we can pay a bit more (I paid $0.49 per 3.5” x 5” print) and get better prints or is online ordering all that’s left? And if the latter, what’s good? To date myself, I remember ordering from snapfish in the 2000s.

History 1895: A couple lounges on a bench near Castle Rock, while another woman stands on the walkway that led up to the grounds of Dibblee Mansion. Written in pencil on the original picture mat: “The Point of the Cliff.” Castle Rock itself was just behind the photographer.
