In the news: A standoff ended near the San Ysidro offramp as the SB Sheriff's SWAT team apprehended the subject, the SB County Fire Department has
set up a tip line for information on the Cold Fire, and Edhatters talk about tinted windows. Read these stories and more, below.
The Urban Hikers bring you pictures and story of the suicidal man who was threatening to kill himself near the

teenage girls in 2009 went into the hands of a Santa Maria jury Tuesday afternoon.
I have a request for SB historians. As a child I lived in a beautiful old house at the
north west corner of Bath and Haley. Does anyone have an old photo of it?
I lost my wallet and I'm pretty sure it was at the Metro 4 Movie Theatre, but they list absolutely ZERO contact information. What's up with that policy?
