	March Ed-Ness Entries 2006 - March Ed-Ness Entries 2006:		NA
	Ed and the Giant Fig Tree - Ed and the Giant Fig Tree: There once was a time when one of the biggest tourist attractions in Santa Barbara was a tree. A big fig tree you could see from the freeway. The tree is still there, presumably even bigger than it was before. And many people still know about it. Its common name around town is The Fig Tree.	26616	add
	March Ed-Ness 2006 Final Pictures - March Ed-Ness 2006 Final Pictures: All the pictures from March Edness 2006	18187	add

	Ed Finds The Park - Ed Finds The Park: It really is a great park! And, it’s an even better park because most of the time there’s no one there. In fact, it’s so obscure, that it was featured for two days on the Edhat Where Is It, and only a handful of people were able to identify it! Last Tuesday was a beautiful day. But when we were there taking pictures, we had the entire park to ourselves.	8263	add
	Flying Ed Studios - Flying Ed Studios: The corner of Mission and State is right in the middle of Santa Barbara. There are two gas stations – the Arco with low prices, short pump hoses, and no credit cards, and the Mobil with high prices on every day but Wednesday when they sell gas “at cost”. The two other corners are filled with a nondescript office building, and Garrett’s Restaurant. And, yes that was a picture of Garrett’s in yesterday’s Wednesday Where Is It (WWII) contest.	8211	add
	Ed Quixote - Ed Quixote: In 2005, Edhat wrote about the Don Quixote statue at the corner of State and Micheltorena. Back then, we called Ed an idealist, hoping to build community and build a business.	8175	3
	Million Dollar Secret - Million Dollar Secret: The Santa Barbara Contemporary Arts Forum is holding their Third Annual million dollar Santa Barbara Home Giveaway.

	This Old House - This Old House: The dedicated staff of edhat.com was at Franceschi Park to see just where Ed took that picture for the Wednesday Where Is It contest. It turns out that the picture was taken on the patio behind the Franceschi House, that sits in the corner of the park. The house is a multimillion dollar Santa Barbara fixer. Originally built by the famous horticulturist, Dr. Francesco Franceschi, the house was last remodeled in the 1920s. The real estate ad would say, Quaint cottage, beautiful views, large lot, needs TLC, imagine the potential.	7833	1
	March Ed-Ness Standings 2006 - March Ed-Ness Standings 2006:	7696	add
	The Plazas of Santa Barbara - The Plazas of Santa Barbara: There are plenty of Plazas in Santa Barbara. But, there is only one plaza named, "The Plaza".	7521	add
	The Sign at Mel's - The Sign at Mel's: Most subscribers figured out that the photo we showed you yesterday in the Wednesday Where Is It (WWII) contest was a representation of a cocktail glass. Most people guessed that the picture was of a bar. Rocks got the most votes. But, the actual location was right around the corner from Rocks. It was the bottom square on the old Mels sign.	7516	add
	The New APCD Building - The new APCD Building: The new building between the freeway and the County Jail is built to be green and occupied by the APCD, SBCAG, and County Social Services.	7336	add
	“This Could Be Heaven Or This Could Be Hell” - “This Could Be Heaven Or This Could Be Hell”: This particular tile mosaic is found on State Street in front of the entrance to the old Hotel Californian. The Hotel, built in Spanish Colonial Revival style, had the misfortune of being completed only four days before the big Santa Barbara Earthquake of 1925.	7278	add

	Back Door Facade - Back Door Facade: The crisscross, green facade shown on last week's Wednesday Where Is It was on the backside of a building that people might not have been able to identify if they had seen a picture of the front side of the building.	6728	add
	Ed Takes the Stairs - Ed Takes the Stairs: Yesterday, the dedicated staff of edhat.com decided to find out more about the historic Granada Building. We checked the archives and with our friends at the Historical Society.	6625	add
	Garden of Ed - Garden of Ed: The dedicated staff of edhat.com got to tour the back forty of Yanonali Garden with Ricardo Venegas from the Franklin Center. Ricardo was great - he knew every plant and every gardener like they were family, and he was happy to share.	6590	add
	Ed Takes a Walk - Ed Takes a Walk: The bridge in our picture is located in Stevens Park in San Roque. It is a kid-friendly park hidden away at the end of Canon Drive. The bridge crosses San Roque Creek, connecting a large grassy field to an oak shaded picnic area.	6548	add
	Pooled Resources - Pooled Resources: Once upon a time there was an old swimming pool in Santa Barbara that no longer served its purpose. The people of the town wanted to rebuild it, but there was not enough money to do so. However, the community rallied around the cause, the money was secured and the plans for construction were drafted. Ah, those were the days!	6377	add
	The Lion, the Trough, and Ed - The Lion, the Trough, and Ed: While everyone cool calls our trough the Lions Head, its real name is the Charles Caldwell Park Memorial Trough. Yes, thats right. Santa Barbara has a memorial trough. How cool is that?	6351	add
	Goleta Beach - Goleta Beach: On a sunny, almost summer-like day this week, the dedicated staff of edhat.com went to Goleta Beach to take pictures and view the awesome effects the recent storms have had on the beach. There is a wire fence running along the edge of the grassy area, and the sandy beach is mostly gone.	6313	add
	Arrow Ed - Arrow Ed: Yesterdays Wednesday Where Is It was definitely a trick question. Ed thought it was a trick that everyone knew about like, What is a Henway? or playing The White Album backwards. Actually, the secret to yesterday’s WWII was revealed on 60 Minutes a couple of years ago. Everyone watches 60 Minutes, right?	6274	add
	Steel-Ed Trout - Steel-Ed Trout: A long time ago, when the rivers ran cool and clear, rainbow trout jumped and played in the creeks and streams of Santa Barbara County. Every year, they migrated down the rivers and tributaries to the ocean in order to mature. After a couple of years, they would make their way back up their original home to spawn. But as the population of people grew, the need to collect water behind dams caused the water flow to become more sporadic, roads and culverts were constructed, and pretty soon the fish’s passage was impeded. Over time, trout populations grew sparse and they found themselves where no self-respecting animal wants to be found – in Edhat’s Endangered Species of the Month article	6274	add
	Carlos and the p-ED-estal - Carlos and the p-ED-estal: For a couple of years, the pedestal and fountain that supported the statue remained as a testament to the political correctness movement of the early 1990’s. There had been plans to put up another statue on the existing pedestal, but in the end, the whole thing was taken down and a sandstone compass was put on the ground where the pedestal had been.	6245	add
	Ed Comes Clean - Ed Comes Clean: In 1970, the oil companies operating in the Santa Barbara Channel got together to form an oil spill response organization (OSRO) capable of reacting to offshore spills and providing clean up. It was called Clean Seas.	6197	add
	Ed, White, and Blue - Ed, White, and Blue: The blue cups shown here are on a fence on the ocean side of the road where Shoreline Drive turns the corner and changes its name to Meigs Road. Anyone who runs the Nite Moves course should know the place well. On the other side of the fence are the old Santa Barbara Lighthouse and a U. S. Coast Guard housing compound. The blue cups combine with red and white cups to create an American flag.	6137	add
	Urn Go Braugh - Urn Go Braugh: decorative urns can be found all over Santa Barbara. They seem to be very in – you see them on a lot of the really new buildings. They’re on the new Gelson’s on State Street, a new office building by Garden Street and 101, lots of new houses, among others. But they’re also on a lot of the really old buildings including La Cumbre Junior High, where our WWII picture was taken, and Santa Barbara Jr. High.	6128	add
	Greek and Italian Deli Art - Greek and Italian Deli Art: The history of the roof line art at the Greek and Italian Deli.	6113	add

	Ed Warms the Bench - Ed Warms the Bench: After the rain-rain went away, the dedicated staff of edhat.com spent some time photographing the benches and the other tile that adorns the bank building. A fountain in the ATM Plaza has a tile backdrop for the lion head that spits water from the top. Almost all of the stair risers are adorned with tile. Each step has a different tile pattern. just like the famous staircase at Paseo Nuevo.	5797	add
	Mystery of the Hawaiian Tile - Mystery of the Hawaiian Tile: We attempted to discover a connection between identical Hawaiian tiles that appear on buildings at La Cumbre Mall and downtown on State Street.	5711	add
	On-A-Bridge-Ed - On-A-Bridge-Ed: Harding School was built in 1927. The Golden Gate Bridge was completed in San Francisco in 1937. In 1993, the School District built a bridge over Robbins Street, connecting one side of Harding School to the other.	5705	add
	Past Gas ... Station - Past Gas ... Station: back in the olden days of nineteen-eighty-something, there was a Mobil Station right at the foot of the Pass, on the corner of Foothill Road and Highway 154. For a brief period in 1997, the gas station was converted into a hippie grocery store whose only marketing effort appeared to be giant flags with coffee mugs on them. Ed actually made his way through the weeds to try a cup of coffee there once. He remembers it with a grimace.	5585	1
	The Slough Lagoon - The Slough Lagoon: Devereux Slough, pronounced Dev Er Oh Slew, is not the name of a famous racehorse. Coal Oil Point Reserve is not a type of a wine. And, the picture shown in yesterdays Wednesday Where Is It is not of Goleta Slough and not of Lake Los Carneros. The picture is of the Devereux Slough just west of UCSB.	5544	1
	Ed Has A Bowl - Ed Has A Bowl: The dedicated staff of edhat.com spent some time with Santa Barbara’s retired population. On a spectacular spring morning, we were at the Mackenzie Park Lawn Bowling Club, where the view of the mountains is as spectacular as any place in town. We were watching the bowling action and chatting with some folks who were enjoying a very happy retirement.	5521	add
	The Chicken Or the Ed? - The Chicken Or the Ed?: The dedicated staff of edhat.com has often wondered exactly what Killer Chicken really is. We were curious why it was the Killer Chicken, and not just Killer Chicken. Is there only one chicken? Does he live there? Is he a dangerous chicken with big pointy teeth?	5495	add
	Tile Totem - Tile Totem: A phoenix is a bird that is reborn from the ashes of its death. Dumbledore had one in his office. It was prominent in the second book of Harry Potter, saving Harrys life after the basilisk put him on deaths doorstep. In Santa Barbara there is a phoenix totem pole on Micheltorena Street just east of Anacapa Street.	5483	add
	Ed takes the High Road - Ed takes the High Road: For those of you who dont ride your bikes behind the Riviera, or run the Pier to Peak race, you might not be familar with Mountain Drive - one of the most beautiful roads in town.	5417	add
	12 More Days of Festival - 12 More Days of Festival: Yesterdays Wednesday Where Is It picture was of some turtles relaxing on a rock, no shadows, but plenty of shell. Actually a shell game, one played by Ed on our dedicated subscribers. We received over two hundred entries identifying the picture location as Alice Keck Park Park. Dont you just love saying Park Park? But, those entries were wrong.	5411	add
	Chumash Island - Chumash Island: When they built the new 154 101 interchange a couple of years back, it looks like they had a little leftover cash. They used that money to put in some attractive tile mosaics on two traffic islands, one on each side of THE 101. And yes, for all you east coast folks who email in about the curiosities of California lingo ... it is THE 101.	5384	add
	Ed Shows Us The Door - Ed Shows Us The Door: It turns out that these double doors were once the main entrance to the Santa Barbara Main Public Library. Today, the main entrance is through glass doors and a lobby that contains a seldom-used drinking fountain.	5305	add
	Run By Numbers - Run By Numbers: The ten in the road is not the only mile marker along the race route. All the numbers from one to eleven are represented. Thats correct, there is a fourk in the road as well. For number mile twelve there is no number, just a line on the curb. There is no thirteen, but that is an unlucky number anyway. Besides, if you are a runner and you make thirteen, the finish line is in sight.	5303	add
	Tile M for Map - Tile M for Map: A cool mosaic tile map is on the sidewalk at Hendry's Beach in front of the Water Resources Center.	5292	add
	New Lot in Life - New Lot in Life: For those of you who have not seen the balloons, or the live web cam on the Granada Garage website, the garage is open for business. If you are looking for some space, or a place to rest your weary tires, check out the newest lot in town. Right now, there is plenty of room at the inn. Even though 2, 3, and R are not car-ready, B1 and B2 are as empty as neighborhood streets during winter break.	5267	add
	What's Up Mo-Doc? - What's Up Mo-Doc?: The sign at the Modoc Inn is made of two sheets of metal, painted with a single-feathered Indian in front of a rustic Native American scene.	5215	3
	Ed and the Giant Crane - Ed and the Giant Crane: We looked at the construction project underway at the Carrillo and Chapala intersection. The new luxury hotel sure will look nice, thanks to that BIG crane.	5167	add
	Ed Takes A Lickin' - Ed Takes A Lickin': Green Stamps were around before Greenspan and before green homes. They were around before Green Acres and the Green Berets. But today, even though the Santa Cruz Market in Old Town Goleta still has a cool S and H Green Stamps sign on the top of their building, the stamps have stopped.	5084	3
	Where is Club Ed? - Where is Club Ed?: Cellar 205, at 205 Anacapa Street, not only blends in with the Funk Zone, but with the Santa Barbara wine community as well. Its a multivineyard, multivarietal, cooperative of local winemakers who sell from their small batches of Pinot Noir, Syrah, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay and eclectic Rhone varietals. They sell everything but Merlo. In case you dont remember, Miles from Sideways didnt like Merlot.	5064	add
	Double Dolphin Day - Double Dolphin Day: Santa Barbara is digby over dolphins. There are statues and fountains all over the place, depicting our friends who live in a world full of wonder, flying there under, under the sea.	5040	add
	Haunted House - Haunted House: Yesterday, looking for the location of the Where Is It pictures became a lot like looking for a ghost.	5025	add
	March Edness 2008 - March Edness 2008: March Edness 2008 is over, but the locations remain. Do you know where these pictures were taken now?	4856	add
	Old Shoes - Old Shoes: There was a time when State and Carrillo was the home to many local shoe stores. One of those stores was Rodenbecks at 1019 State Street. And it still says the name of the store on the pavement by the front entrance. That is where we took yesterdays WWII picture.	4847	add
	A Poem For Ed - A Poem For Ed: There is a poem on a plaque, on a boulder, by the side of a private Mission Oaks Lane, off of Foothill, next to the Mission Canyon fire station. The dedicated staff of edhat.com set out to discover who wrote this poem, why it was posted on a boulder, and if anyone in town knew about it.	4843	add
	3 Plaques You're Out - 3 Plaques You're Out: The dedicated staff of edhat.com has often complained about plaques in town. Now, here is another anomaly in the placement of plaques, three identical plaques in the same shopping mall.	4834	add
	Ed Sees More - Ed Sees More: On the Mesa, things were spectacular. Being in the middle of such a large amount of open space is not an experience we get to have very often in these parts, especially land that is so flat. But more impressive than the openness, are the views of the mountains and the ocean.	4827	add
	The Fish In The Wall - The Fish In The Wall: The playground is shaped like a boat with whales and other sea animals around it. One of the sea animals is a beautiful fish swimming out of the side of a wall. And this is the fish that we pictured in yesterday's Wednesday Where Is It (WWII) contest.	4801	add
	Monuments on Milpas - Monuments on Milpas: Thousands of Santa Barbarians drive past the establishment every day and hardly even give the tombstone, or the two others right next to it, a glance. In case you were wondering, no one is buried there. We were wondering. We asked.	4781	1
	The Cat on the Wall - The Cat on the Wall: If you are parking in this lot because you are being forced by the nearby lot closure or just to feel the warm glow of the attendant, you should look up on the wall that divides the lot from Anapamu. There, across from the Karpells Manuscript Museum … there, between Crispin Leather and the new mixed-use building … there, on top of the wall, sits a little black cat with painted on whiskers and two empty eye sockets which used to contain marbles.	4758	add
	Ed Stops The Bus - Ed Stops The Bus: The picture shown in Yesterdays Wednesday Where Is It (WWII) was of one of the two beach ball seats at that bus stop. The stop itself is located on Hitchcock Road in front of the Rancho Franciscan, an apartment complex for persons 62 years old and older.	4616	add
	Ed is the Gatekeeper - Ed is the Gatekeeper: Back when some of the members of the dedicated staff sent their kids to the Cathedral Oaks School, there was just a common gate in front, one that was hard to open and close if we remember correctly.	4568	add
	Drink And Be Ed - Drink And Be Ed: Well the fountain was dry. Not a single subscriber knew the location of Ed’s drinking hole. We got guesses of Rocky Nook, Rose Garden, MacKenzie Park, East Beach, Alameda, Alice Keck Park Park, Ellings Park, Stow Grove, Kids World, etc. We got so many good incorrect answers that we decided to go around and take pictures of drinking fountains in town.	4557	add
	Ed and the Art of America - Ed and the Art of America: The SB Museum of Art is currently showing an Art of Americas exhibit which shows identity, people, places, and things from the two continents side-by-side, not separated by geography as is typically done.	4554	add
	Ed is Old School - Ed is Old School: The picture was of a stone carving of a young native American woman. The dedicated staff of edhat.com assumes that she is Chumash. In front of her is a large bowl. Next to the woman, but out of sight of the picture, is a young man holding a pipe. Both the boy and the girl are scantily clad. Below the boy and the girl is an entrance to the Riviera Theater.	4544	add
	Windows To The Past - Windows To The Past: In fact, the windows shown in yesterdays WWII were on the backside of that Hotel. The picture was taken from the parking lot behind Pierre La Fond, the one that connects to State Street by the alley with the outdoor market where they burn incense.	4513	add
	Sun In Your Eyes - Sun In Your Eyes: The mural shows the bottom half of a sun with rays emitting from it in all directions. Below the sun is a field of flowers, poppies we think. The reason that only half the sun is showing is because the roofline cuts off the other half. From our picture, you can see the blue sky contrasts nicely with the subtle colors of the mural.	4503	add
	Dear Ed - Dear Ed: The dedicated staff of edhat.com walked into the Takenoya restaurant on Calle Real in Goleta yesterday, and asked the hostess why they have marble deer statues on the lawn in front of the building.	4471	add
	XIT ED - XIT ED: At the APS and Loma Media location there are 2 XIT signs and 1 SLO sign. The words XIT and SLO are fashioned from small red reflectors. One of the XIT signs was the subject of yesterdays Wednesday Where Is It picture.	4451	add
	Bridge Over Aerated Water - Bridge Over Aerated Water: Yesterday, to put an end to this erosion of self esteem that is cutting to the core of our quality of life in our little blue city by the big blue sea, Ed threw out softball. The train bridge shown in the picture is on Hollister near Modoc. It is near the place where the Painted Cave fire jumped the freeway in 1990.	4429	add
	Fooled By The Rain - Fooled By The Rain: Artist Marge Dunlap once pointed out that Rain falls on everybody. And to underline the point, she created a beautiful fountain in the middle of the courtyard of Las Aves, a small business center across Los Patos Way from the bird refuge and across Cabrillo Blvd from the lion head trough.	4429	add
	All is Well with Ed - All is Well with Ed: Did you hear about the 11 holes in the ground? Well, they are on Equestrian Avenue in Santa Barbara. At this point in time we are not exactly sure what those holes are doing there. They each have a green and rusty old metal top on them. Each top has a letter stenciled on it. Reading left to right they spell KJIHGFEDCBA. From right to left to right they spell ABCDEFGHIJK.	4427	add
	Noisy Fountain, Quiet Lobby - Noisy Fountain, Quiet Lobby: Yesterday, the dedicated staff of edhat.com went to the Ed Lion to see if we could find out more about the fountain. Just for kicks and giggles, we took our noise meter with us to measure the trickling sound of water.	4401	add
	Shadow Of Ed - Shadow Of Ed: At Five Points, the birds facing La Cumbre are not the only building tattoos. Inside the shopping center, there are more birds, a rocking horse, and some painted windows. It was one of those painted windows that Edhat displayed as yesterdays Wednesday Where Is It picture. The particular window we featured is just outside the front entrance to Blockbuster. There is also another window on the side of PETCO. That window has a person looking out of it. And, its not just any person. Its one of the artists.	4395	add
	Ed's a Street Talker - Ed's a Street Talker: In 2001, the residents of the 14 houses on Dixon Street, a short dead-end street off of Grove Lane, in what some people call San Roque, decided that the name of their street was not to their liking and was possibly lowering their property values. The dedicated staff of edhat.com is not quite sure how they reached this conclusion. The name Dixon reminds us of Room 222, pencils, and battle lines in the Civil War.	4386	1
	Lights. Camera. Ed. - Lights. Camera. Ed.: So, where was the picture taken for yesterday's WWII? It was taken at the Earl Warren Showground, of course - the location of the fair. It was taken inside the arena where they have horse shows and where they set up the stage for this weekend's concerts. Saturday's Blues Bash '05 will be held there. There are still tickets remaining to hear Elvin Bishop sing "Calling All Cows!" for Fair bovine and blues fans alike.	4381	add
	House Of Marble - House Of Marble: This house is one of the kookiest in town. At Christmas time it gets decorated like the North Pole. The rest of the year, the front yard contains an eclectic, hodgepodge collection of miscellaneous, random odds and ends, haphazardly arranged.	4363	4
	The Art No One Knew - The Art No One Knew: The reason that the dedicated staff of edhat.com was drawn to El Dorado was not dreams of riches – gold or commercial real estate. We were drawn to the building by the piece of art attached to the front.	4344	add
	Sister Sea Horse - Sister Sea Horse: When you start out on your walk along the Harbor, just after the General Store and just before the Yacht Club, you pass a little statue that seems sort of out of place. The statue is of a little boy riding on the back of an oversized seahorse.	4340	add
	Ed Meets Wind-A-Ma-Jig - Ed Meets Wind-A-Ma-Jig: Local philanthropist David Bermant brought New York artist George Rhoads' Wind-A-Ma-Jig sculpture to Goleta Beach in 1990 amidst much controversy.	4331	add
	Ed Looks Up - Ed Looks Up: Just inside the front door of the Balboa Building, hangs a curious flying object that looks like a sled, a boat, or a kite. To the uninformed, it could be an antique weapon or a scale model of some early flying machine. To the informed, it is the object that was photographed for yesterdays Wednesday Where Is It.	4311	add
	Timber's Restaurant - Timber's Restaurant: This is the parking lot of Timbers Restaurant. It was built using the timbers from the Goleta oil field pier that was bombed by the Japanese during WWII.	4307	add
	Ed's New Office - Ed's New Office: Identify the location of the new edhat.com office.	4307	add
	Open Wide - Open Wide: The tooth you see in the picture on the right hangs in front of Dr. Campbell Dentistry on lower State Street. It is right next to Aaron Brothers and kitty corner to Joes. The tooth, a molar we believe, is pure white outlined by a strip of metal.	4291	add
	Ed is Vane - Ed is Vane: The picture in yesterdays Wednesday Where Is It was taken from the top floor of the city parking lot at the corner of Figueroa and Anacapa. The weather vane is on top of a building on Figueroa. The little guy at the end of the weather vane is a blacksmith.	4260	add
	Hope For Ed - Hope For Ed: Everyone knows that Goleta is famous for lemons. There is even a Lemon Festival with a lemon pie eating contest. But, apparently not many people know about the limekiln that sits at the entrance to Hope Ranch. The kiln, a relic of a time long ago sits right next to an open house directory sign. Given that these days, homes for sale in Hope Ranch are advertised in national magazines, not roadside kiosks, the directory is also a relic.	4218	add
	Viva La Puente - Viva La Puente: One striking example of overlooked natural beauty in Santa Barbara is the natural bridge that lies between Goleta Beach and UCSB, just out of sight of the road and the bike path, as you descend the small hill from the parking lot to the campus entrance.	4197	add
	Nu Faces in Town - Nu Faces in Town: Restaurant Nu currently occupies the courtyard at 1129 State Street. A bunch of restaurants, all new at one time, have occupied that courtyard in recent years. There have been so many that the dedicated staff of edhat.com cannot remember them all.	4185	1
	Viva La Ken! - Viva La Ken!: The word of the day is Ken. That was the word in the picture in yesterdays Wednesday Where Is It. Well, you asked yourself, are there any famous Kens in Santa Barbara?	4163	add
	Ed Takes the Fourth - Ed Takes the Fourth: The engraving on the Junipero side at the same intersection says Fourth Street. So why would the intersection of De La Vina and Junipero be identified in concrete as Fourth and Hollister? Ed wanted to know, so he took a picture of it, posted it on the website, and told the dedicated staff of edhat.com to find out.	4160	add
	Goodbye Ed Brick Wall - Goodbye Ed Brick Wall: The other day when the dedicated staff of edhat.com was taking pictures of the disparity in gas station attendance between the two stations at the corner of Mission and State, we noticed some men knocking down a brick wall. We took a picture of them. And, when we looked at the picture, we thought it came out pretty well. So, we thought, why not use that cool picture for the WWII?	4151	add
	Ed Finds Beauty - Ed Finds Beauty: There are some who believe that Nefertiti was the most beautiful woman ever to live, even more beautiful than Christie Brinkley, Reese Witherspoon, and the Edhat dog. The basis for this claim is a statue known as the Berlin Bust, found in the workshop of the famous sculptor Thutmose. It is one of the most copied works of ancient Egypt.	4133	add
	Moor Than Just An Arch - Moor Than Just An Arch: The building on the east 300 block of State Street was shook out of commission in the quake like others, but it was not revived in Spanish Revival at all. Instead, it was built in the Moorish style. That building, once called the Seaside Oil Company Building and the Alhambra Building, and now called the Andalucia Building, was the location of the picture in yesterdays Wednesday Where Is It.	4132	add
	Church of Bowling - Church of Bowling: Zodos was an easy spot for many of our dedicated subscribers, but not as easy as the open front door of Church of Skatan. Shortys, a local brand on the skate world brandscape, owns the store.	4114	add
	Ed Finds A Cannon - Ed Finds A Cannon: One of the earliest nonNative American stories of Santa Barbara is of the cannon that was lost off a ship in the early part of the nineteenth century. The story was so important that they named one of the first streets after it, Canon Perdido, Lost Cannon in Spanish.	4107	add
	El For Ed - El For Ed: The correct answer was El Prado, as in the El Prado Inn, the motel that is directly across the street from Cantwells Market. You know, the one with the cool old sign. The word Prado is blue, written in Andalucianish font. The word EL is yellow, written in cursive.	4093	add
	'Eding North - 'Eding North: Back in 1775, Juan Bautista de Anza didnt have any options. He was commissioned by the King of Spain to lead a small party in order to create a settlement in San Francisco. So without a plane or a car, he started out from Arizona and proceeded to set the west coast on the map.	4063	add
	Portrait of Edhat Today - Portrait of Edhat Today: In case you do not pay attention to these things, the teams were picked and the brackets were announced for the other March Madness, the one involving college basketball.

	The Jaguar Ed - The Jaguar Ed: These days, cars approaching the intersection in the afternoon pile up on Garden waiting for the light on Gutierrez to change. And when drivers stuck in traffic look to their left, they see a giant wild cat painted on the side of a building in the back of a vacant lot, overgrown with weeds and other dead things. The cat, a bigger than life Jaguar, climbs up of the trunk of a fallen tree, staring with one eye onto the wasteland of stop and go traffic below.	4016	6
	Ed for Ed's Sake - Ed for Ed's Sake: On the Mission side of Mission Canyon Road, just south of Foothill Road, there sits an artistic creation for whom there was no commission, gallery opening, or website launch. It was the labor of one of the young residents of the eclectic, artsy house behind it.	3986	add

	Hisses For Ed - Hisses For Ed: The picture for yesterdays New Years Where Is It turned out not to hold a New Years Place of Distinction (NYPD). It was easy to tell that the picture was a snake wrapped around a pole. But, it turned out to be a snake in the grass for our dedicated subscribers. No one knew where it was.	3971	add
	Bridges of Edison County - Bridges of Edison County: Edhat paid attention to bridges, and only the small ones. We drove around town taking pictures of all the foot and bike bridges that we could think of, and that our little green car would take us to. From the bike paths of Goleta to the parks in the City, we crossed and photographed them all.	3969	add
	No More School - No More School: Where today sits one of the two lawn bowling spots in town, the one with artificial turf, once was, from 1902 to 1924, the home of Santa Barbara High School. The only thing left of the old high school is the cornerstone, still bearing its inscription.	3958	add

	Last Picture Show - Last Picture Show: The Twin Cinema was beyond repair and would be torn down when work began on the lot across the street. The only valuable part of the Cinema that remains is the marquee. Edhat put dibbies on it, but we will see.	3927	1
	Billionaire's Gate - Billionaire's Gate: A billionaire has spent the last many years building his 18,000 square foot dream home on the bluffs above a local beach. The only thing between the monster-sized house and the ocean is a bike path and a 40-foot drop. The picture shown here is of the front gate of the property.	3882	add
	The Record Ed Word - The Record Ed Word: There was something surreal, or maybe syrah real, about Tim Owens, executive director of Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic lying shoeless on his conference table, with members of the Santa Barbara County Vintners Association behind him holding their bottles of wine. The members were all smiling, with their heads leaning to the right at roughly 45 degree angles, not quite Sideways, but close enough.	3868	add
