How clever! And THANK YOU for the 99 cent store, I love them and they save me so much money! Not only the homeless will be there, the Ventura stores attract everyone, they even offer gift certificates that one friend I know was ecstatic to receive. In the years I lived east, families would shop there first and then go to the grocery store needing to stretch the take home pay which, in Santa Barbara, is barely in line with the cost of housing and fuel.

There are plenty of other places in California to live where you don't have to complain about the cost of housing and fuel. Please investigate these places where your dollar will go so much further. Self-serving wails are getting very old. No one is interested in helping you out. You chose to come here. Live with it.

I'm not sure what the intent of the OP was but with the onerous price increases at TJs and the other grocery store chains little 99ยข Store is bound to make a splash in this town, regardless of the signage.

048 - kinda harsh but I agree. Pro 99 Store/ Target lovers etc are always talking about how great Ventura is - it too has beaches, farmer's markets, a Mission, better parking, better mass transit, bigger malls, lots more car dealerships, hospitals, people, schools etc etc and it does cost a lot less to live there...why not consider a move south and leave those of us who are very happy not having a Target or a 99cent store around the corner to our own devices.....

If the city is open today the .99 cent store will be getting their welcome to SB from the sign enforcement folks.
They should have saved their balloon budget and spent a little more on the in store prints, take a look at the above shelf stock images. It looks like someone pulled a jpg preview off the internet and printed it 6'x6' kind of sad but strangely fitting for their line of tat

The balloon will come down soon enough, and the improved paseo is nice, but what is tragic is the closed State Street door.

Get ready, food prices are about to raise like you have never seen before. The weather is creating loss of crops. The only way to beat the prices is to grow your own. I think there is a need for the 99 store, I'm just not sure it belongs on State Street. I prefere to support the local growers and buy at yard and estate sales. Our home is completely furnished this way. We have no debt, by choice. It is possible to live here, own your home and have a very successful life. When possible buy locale and support the local businesses.

who really cares about the 99 Cent Store when we have something infinitely more evil on the horizon. let's start worrying about how the new openly hateful Chick-Fil-A will make our city look. let's get some perspective.

@048 None of you cried when us poor underpaid laborers were serving the Rich and if you continue the whine well just use you all as food when the time scums..

If everyone who wanted/needed to live somewhere less expensive moved "south" or anywhere else, every store on State Street would shut down for lack of workers, and the remaining rich would have no one to serve them their food and wine, or clean their beaches. Every business would go under for lack of workers too. I suspect 048 is a nonworking, beach lazying trustafarian living off others hard labor.

I wish State Street had held out for something classier -- if they want to be utilitarian, SB could, for instance, solicit something at the level of The Container Store. Also worry that a Dollar Store will be an additional hit to Milpas Street, where, except for the restaurants, the 3-4 eclectic Mexican-type dollar-store-priced bodegas are about all there left is of the attractive Eastside sub-culture, when the Fiesta is not going, to attract tourists away from the wharf and State Street. It would be nice if the business types would consider the impacts, on neighborhoods and established stores, of bringing in new stores that just duplicate goods.

This store may have wonderful prices etc. which most people would welcome, but it is SOOO out of place. Where is the parking? Do they have grocery carts that you get to take home with you like all the other stores do and leave on the sidewalk till the truck hired by the store comes and picks them up?

The well marked free 99 cent store customer parking lot is right next to the store accessible from Gutierrez St.
