There is no other feeling than the breathtaking beauty of a Santa Barbara sunrise. Most people are still in bed, the town is calm and peaceful, the skies
are illuminated and the air is filled with the ocean's salty scent. How lucky we are to live here.
In local news: the mural off of Victoria and State Street is being moved, the harmful consequences of Rodenticide are discussed, and the Santa Barbara
County Park Commission will hold workshops to discuss the beach parking fees. Read these stories and more below:
