Nothing says summer more than a red convertible. Add an early 60's (we think) Ford Falcon classic to that description and it might very well be summer
in Santa Barbara. With all the local car shows happening recently, it's no surprise to see glimmering hunks of metal cruising down our roadways.
In the news: A high speed chase on the 154 and 101 had a tragic end and blocked off many lanes of traffic, two locals are in critical condition after
falling from the cliffs of Shoreline Park, and the Red Cross is reminding everyone to be safe for the 4th of July. Read these stories and more below:
