	Mar 29, 2010 The Final Four Here are the locations of the Final Four pictures posted on Friday. Each picture was taken downtown. Each picture was worth 2 points.

	Mar 26, 2010 The Lion, the Ed, and the End If you look very closely at the photo of this interesting lion sculpture, there is a bridge railing in the left side of the shot.

	Mar 25, 2010 F is for Fun In this context, F does not stand for flunk or fail. It is just the letter in the alphabet that comes after E

	Mar 24, 2010 Waterless Fountain A fountain is a piece of architecture which pours water into a basin. So, you ask, if a fountain has no water, is it really a fountain at all?

	Mar 23, 2010 Gated Breath The old saying goes, that customers come first. But, at this location the customers must un-park their cars by 18:00 hours, or 6:00 PM, whichever comes first.

	Mar 22, 2010 Water Stop Friday's March Edness picture was of a drinking fountain. It's a place to stop for a tall drink of water on a hot summer day.

	Mar 19, 2010 Hope Arch We are guessing that you may not have recognized this arch unless you have sat in the parking lot adjacent to it.

	Mar 18, 2010 Wall to Wall It's like the song, Rock Around the Clock. But instead of a clock, it's a wall. And, it's a round wall. And, it's not a song, it's just the side of a building.

	Mar 17, 2010 Murals on Mason Street If you follow Edhat closely, then you may remember that back in September we had a series of photos about some new murals in town.

	Mar 16, 2010 Bowl and Arrows It's a place where two roads meet and two roads end. If you are a car coming into this intersection, there is nothing to else to do, but turn, turn, turn.

	Mar 15, 2010 Local Star Friday's Where Is It (WII) photo took us to the farthest region on the right hand side of the March Edness map: Carpinteria.

	Mar 12, 2010 Slow Speed Ahead Slow Speed Ahead: You may have thought that seven ate nine, but nine is alive and well, and is the posted speed limit at the residence. Nine is an interesting choice. Why not seven or eight?

	Mar 11, 2010 Bathtub Mystery Bathtub Mystery: Yesterday's March Edness WII picture was of a bathtub in the bushes. Now where in Santa Barbara would there be a bathtub?

	Mar 10, 2010 Carriage Museum Carriage Museum: There's some irony in the fact that Santa Barbara's museum of historic carriages is surrounded by a parking lot.

	Mar 09, 2010 Food Court Food Court: Often we forget such simple things as taking the clothes from the washer and putting them in the dryer, but we remember the smell of our grandmother's lasagna.

	Mar 08, 2010 Welcome Bird Welcome Bird: Friday's March Edness WII was a real humdinger. It was a picture of a hummingbird, and it was hard to locate. In fact only 3 people knew where the bird flies.

	Mar 05, 2010 Pass Out Pass Out: No, this picture is not the exit to a local dive bar or a Red Cup Chronicles flashback. The pass-out sign is at the south exit to Kramer Arena.

	Mar 04, 2010 Peace on Las Canoas Peace on Las Canoas: Feeling peaceful? It could be the shady oak trees or the new green grass covering the fire-ravaged hillsides above. Or, maybe it's the peace signs set up by two local residents.

	Mar 03, 2010 Big Air Big Air: The bike rises high and proud from the middle of the BMX track, where kids of all ages do big tricks on small bikes on Wednesdays and Sundays.

	Mar 02, 2010 Charlie Chaplin Charlie Chaplin: Where is the face of Charlie Chaplin? Everyone knows that. We started you out with a bit of a gimme to get this years March Edness contest rolling.

	Mar 30, 2009 Bear Market Bear Market: You would not think that Bear Markets are something that would be advertised in a storefront window on State Street.

	Mar 30, 2009 Forgotten Pillars Forgotten Pillars: 2009 March Edness ended in the same way it started. The first two pictures of the month were Circuit City and Bee's Wing Art - two businesses that are no longer in business. The picture shown here is cut from the same cloth

	Mar 27, 2009 Clear As Stained Glass Clear As Stained Glass: If a two-paned window has only one pane that is stained glass, is the glass half full or half empty? You might be entertaining deep philosophical questions like this one.

	Mar 27, 2009 Dragon on a Drainpipe Dragon on a Drainpipe: This whimsical dragon face adorns a drain pipe that comes from a property in Hope Ranch down to the beach between Hendry’s and Hope Ranch Beach.

	Mar 26, 2009 State Building State Building: The sign in the picture clearly states that the building is in the State of California. We all know that California is a state of mind – an altered state, somewhere between paranoia and ecstasy.

	Mar 26, 2009 Trains Trains: This picture was taken next to the train tracks. Duh. Those of you with a one-track mind might think that there is only one train game in town.

	Mar 25, 2009 Cone Roof Cone Roof: Back in the day, when you saw a cone, you would scream for ice cream. And if you would scream, I would scream. And then, before you knew it, we would all be screaming.

	Mar 25, 2009 Sun Flower Sun Flower: Dan Chrynko is probably the most celebrated artist on Edhat. We’ve highlighted his lizards by Rocky Nook Park, his works for Phoenix House, and his bar at the old Sevilla Restaurant.

	Mar 24, 2009 On The Roof On The Roof: The bird in the picture shown yesterday in our March Edness contest is not real. Otherwise, Ed admits, the picture would have been too hard.

	Mar 24, 2009 New Cottage New Cottage: Development on the new Cottage Hospital started back in 2005, and continues today. One of the first buildings to be completed was at the corner of Junipero and Bath Streets.

	Mar 23, 2009 Barrel Barrel: While you might expect to find this great big wine barrel at one of the great big wineries in the Santa Ynez Valley

	Mar 23, 2009 Peacock Peacock: This article might have been about the mosaic peacock above the State Street entrance to Macy’s in Paseo Nuevo.

	Mar 20, 2009 Door to the Stars Door to the Stars: Zodiac signs are more than just idle conversation at single bars. They are the elements of a celestial coordinate system that dates back to ancient Babylonia.

	Mar 20, 2009 Haunted House Haunted House: Yesterday, looking for the location of the Where Is It pictures became a lot like looking for a ghost.

	Mar 19, 2009 Barn Dance Barn Dance: If you’ve heard the chants from the opposing crowds at Dos Pueblos High School games, you might think that the Farmer image is something about which Goleta is ashamed.

	Mar 19, 2009 The Other Mural The Other Mural: There is a famous mosaic mural facing Victoria Street, on the side of the old Vons Supermarket. It's a six-panel tile piece by Joseph Knowles.

	Mar 18, 2009 Bar-b-que Bar-b-que: Shaded by huge sycamore trees, this large group picnic area can host a group of approximately 80 people and has a large stone barbecue.

	Mar 18, 2009 Sun Sign Sun Sign: Sun Time Tanning in Goleta has a very cool sign. It is neon, and it includes a palm tree, much like the palm tree used in the March Edness logo.

	Mar 17, 2009 Friends Of Ed Friends Of Ed: If you have been around Edhat for a bit, you must have realized that we don’t have a ton of advertisers.

	Mar 16, 2009 Property Of Property Of: The sign shown for Friday’s March Edness picture says, “US Property, No Trespassing”.

	Mar 16, 2009 De Forests For The Trees De Forests For The Trees: Lockwood De Forest was a world-famous landscape architect who designed many of the famous gardens of Santa Barbara.

	Mar 13, 2009 Statue Esq Statue Esq: This is the tale of three statues. One of the statues was the one featured on March Edness.

	Mar 13, 2009 Drug Stores Drug Stores: Ed has also liked the Rx sign out in front of the drug store on State Street just up from downtown.

	Mar 12, 2009 Cigar Store Indian Cigar Store Indian: A little tiny history lesson: A long time ago, more people couldn't read than could.

	Mar 12, 2009 Oh Deer Oh Deer: It’s been more than two months since Rudolph and the gang drove the guy in the big red suit all over the world at midnight.

	Mar 11, 2009 Mural Mural: Well, spring has almost sprung in Santa Barbara, and the lovely spring colors in the photo can be found on the outside of UCSB's recently completed California NanoSystems Lab.

	Mar 11, 2009 Let there be Light Let there be Light: This retaining wall art is on the beach between Fernald Point and Summerland Beach.

	Mar 10, 2009 The Golden Arch The Golden Arch: A long long time ago, Santa Barbara was a kingdom.

	Mar 10, 2009 White Trees White Trees: They stand like the ultimate Rorschach test. The question comes to mind...what do you see? A dog? A reindeer?

	Mar 09, 2009 The End The End: So, say you're headed out to UCSB, and you're in a hurry, and you turn right onto Calle Real from 154, and you think you'll just hop on the freeway and...oh my!

	Mar 09, 2009 Tre Bon Tre Bon: At first glance, Santa Barbara isn't a town full of large and similar apartment buildings.

	Mar 06, 2009 Shimmery Steelhead Shimmery Steelhead: This shimmery steelhead statue is swimming in the air in front of the Watershed Resource Center at Arroyo Burro/Hendry's Beach Park.

	Mar 06, 2009 Sandy Turtle Sandy Turtle: This turtle looks like he just crawled out of the sea, but had he done that, it would have been a long trip up the hill to his resting place in the playground at Shoreline Park.

	Mar 05, 2009 Blank Sign Blank Sign: As they say in the movie, everything is related to Greek in some way. Well, that holds true of the Mackenzie Market.

	Mar 05, 2009 Showgrounds Electric Showgrounds Electric: Gate B is a little less conspicuous these days, but it is one of the best viewing locations of the Showgrounds fancy new electronic sign.

	Mar 04, 2009 Habit Dome Habit Dome: The newest burger bistro with the addictive name in Santa Barbara is at La Cumbre Plaza, behind Vons, where the natural food store used to be.

	Mar 04, 2009 Brick Display Brick Display: The display arrow is still pointing, but whatever it was pointing to is past its pointing prime.

	Mar 03, 2009 Bee Gone Bee Gone: The store, as they say, became a has-been. They didn't remove their State Street facing sign, and they didn't paint over the bee mural on the side of the building that faced the notorious Longs Drug Store parking lot

	Mar 03, 2009 Helmet Heads Helmet Heads: To Ed, nothing says Circuit City like the helmet-head trees in the parking lot shown in yesterday's Where Is It picture.

	Mar 31, 2008 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.

	Mar 31, 2008 Ortega Water Tank Ortega Water Tank: This water tank is located by the Santa Barbara Survey Office at 220 E. Ortega Street.

	Mar 28, 2008 Street Clock Street Clock: This cool clock is a four-sided, cast iron Ansonia street clock that was originally manufactured in 1914, and placed here around 1985. It is the only such clock on public display.

	Mar 28, 2008 School Tower School Tower: This tower is on what must be one of the most beautiful Junior High schools in the country, Santa Barbara Junior High, home of the amazing Marjorie Luke Theater.

	Mar 27, 2008 Old Fort on a Hill Old Fort on a Hill: This structure that looks like an old fort is clearly visible from a road that leads up to the hills. It used to be a treehouse, but the tree died, so it was resupported.

	Mar 27, 2008 Grafitti-Ridden Succulent Grafitti-Ridden Succulent: This hard-to-find March Edness location is front row center on the tourist map. In fact, people from the Czech Republic have been there. Edhat documented all the carvings on the succulents at this popular spot.

	Mar 26, 2008 Cathedral Oaks Wagon Cathedral Oaks Wagon: This wagon is located on Cathedral Oaks Road between 154 and Turnpike Road.

	Mar 21, 2008 Our Lady of Guadalupe Our Lady of Guadalupe: Our Lady of Guadalupe is depicted here on the side of a building located on a street with many religious buildings.

	Mar 20, 2008 Park Shed Park Shed: The County of Santa Barbara has a Coke and a smile in one of their local parks. We wouldn't have guessed that there was such a big demand for soft drinks in this off-the-beaten path location.

	Mar 20, 2008 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.

	Mar 19, 2008 Building Ornamentation Building Ornamentation: This building is one of the most well known buildings in town because of its grand old style and ornate decorations. We all know it's there, but the grandness of the structure must be all we can take in, because the details go unnoticed.

	Mar 19, 2008 Office Building Quote Office Building Quote: Yesterday on Edhat we commented on how cool it would be to have a geographical feature, even one as mundane as a sediment basin named after you. Wouldn't it be really cool to have one of your quotes chiseled in stone above the doorway of a public building? Well, Ann Sullivan has that privilege. Her quote, "Law is the voice of the people. Justice makes it heard", is chiseled front and center on a building on Santa Barbara Street.

	Mar 18, 2008 Sediment Basin Mural Sediment Basin Mural: Have you ever thought that it would be cool to have a star, a theorem, a disease, or a geographical landmark named after you? Well, Kim knows how it feels. Whoever Kim is. This mural is on a bridge over a sediment basin named after Kim.

	Mar 18, 2008 Off Ramp Building Off Ramp Building: There are 37 steps that lead to this building. What goes on in that building is top-secret. Only a few know, and those who do are sworn to secrecy.

	Mar 15, 2008 Park Compass Park Compass: While enjoying the beauty of this park it is easy to overlook a cool compass on the floor of the gazebo by the pond.

	Mar 15, 2008 Memorial Park Memorial Park: This memorial, together with a flag, was placed in a location close to a beach in 1918. In 1969 the flag was moved to its current location. The monument was not moved to be together with the flag until 1998. When they were reunited the town had a celebration.

	Mar 14, 2008 School Walkway School Walkway: Are you smarter than a fifth grader? Well, every fifth grader at a certain elementary school knows about this secret passageway.

	Mar 14, 2008 Wood Fence Wood Fence: Did you ever wonder how we took one of the high ground perspective weekly pictures for Edhat's Pictures Over Time feature? They are not taken from John Wiley's airplane. They are taken from a hill in a parking lot with a wood fence.

	Mar 13, 2008 Lotusland Wall Lotusland Wall: There are not many places in town where you can find a long pink wall. In fact, the only place known to the dedicated staff of edhat.com is on Cold Springs Road where it intersects Sycamore Canyon Road (Hwy 192). The wall surrounds Lotusland, a 37-acre botanic garden built on the former estate of opera singer and socialite Ganna Walska.

	Mar 13, 2008 Sears Walkway Sears Walkway: In recent years there have been many changes in the local retail scene, but nowhere have the changes been more evident than at the Sears Shopping Center on La Cumbre Road.

	Mar 11, 2008 La Cumbre Over-Crossing La Cumbre Over-Crossing: This picture was taken from Modoc, where the La Cumbre Road over-crossing ahead looks big and foreboding - more than just a road that leads to Hope Ranch.

	Mar 11, 2008 Garden Street Under-Crossing Garden Street Under-Crossing: The picture of the cement design shown is a side shot of the freeway from underneath the Garden Street under-crossing. It's a little tricky because the sides of both sides of the freeway appear in the picture.

	Mar 08, 2008 San Marcos Gym San Marcos Gym: The blue and red doors open up to the newly renovated San Marcos High gym. The project cost $7.5 million. Measure V funding helped pay for this. It has a new floor, new bleachers, and a bunch of other things. The gym was officially open on August 8, 2007.

	Mar 08, 2008 Dos Pueblos Pool Dos Pueblos Pool: The blue and gold tiles are part of the new Dos Pueblos High School pool. They make up the outside shower. The pool officially opened on July 20, 2007. Dr. Virgil Elings, who donated an ocean of money for the pool, swam the ceremonial first lap that day.

	Mar 07, 2008 Bacara Resort Entrance Bacara Resort Entrance: The sign is located at the entry road to the Bacara Resort. We're pretty sure the emergency in question would be expected to come from the oil and gas plant next door, rather than the four-star spa hotel. But you never know.

	Mar 07, 2008 Transfer Station Transfer Station: At the County Transfer Station (dump) off of Calle Real there is big white sign that spells out these hold- your-nose no-nos in big, black, capital letters. Up until 1966 the Calle Real facility was a landfill in its own right. Today the daily trash is put onto big trucks and driven 24 miles up 101N to the County-owned Tajiguas landfill.

	Mar 06, 2008 Yoga Center Windows Yoga Center Windows: Each of the three neo-classical windows shown in this March Edness picture has twenty-two panes. All sixty-six panes can be found on the front of a former church that is now home to the Santa Barbara Yoga Center. The building is on Micheltorena Street, just east of State Street.

	Mar 06, 2008 Los Olivos Gargoyle Los Olivos Gargoyle: If you think that the green monster shown here a gargoyle, then Wikipedia would classify you as a layman. True gargoyles, it turns out, must have water spouting from their mouths. This green thing is more properly labeled as a chimera or a grotesque figure. It can be found within spitting distance of the Mission.

	Mar 05, 2008 City Hall Gates City Hall Gates: These gates are on Anacapa Street in front of City Hall. The gates used to be made of wood and painted blue, but in the early 1990s the wooden gates needed to be replaced. The City hired architectural designer and artist Henry Lenny to design the gates.

	Mar 05, 2008 La Arcada Lions La Arcada Lions: These big cats, their tails, and the castle they're guarding are on an arch above the entry to La Arcada, the little shopping haven in the middle of the block behind the corner of Figueroa and State Streets. This design was taken from original artwork that appeared on a building at this location in 1927.

	Mar 04, 2008 Presidio Cart Presidio Cart: This is a picture of an ox cart, known as a 'carreta', located at the Santa Barbara Presidio. Though the Presidio was founded in 1782 this cart is not original. It is a replica from that period that was made in Mexico.

	Mar 04, 2008 Cattleman's Horse Cattleman's Horse: This horse is located in front of the Sandman Inn at 3714 State Street. It was created at the Santa Barbara School of Fine Arts in the late 1960s.
