The picture of the day pays homage to the late Julia Child who would have celebrated her 100th birthday on August 15th. Julia moved to Montecito for
retirement and created quite a stir (nice pun right?) settling amongst the other celebrities in the area. In honor of Julia Child, we raise our chocolate croissant
and toast our french vanilla latte.
In local news: a great white shark was spotted by a surfer off one of our local beaches, five people were injured after a horse riding accident at Circle B
Ranch, and burglars struck two buildings on the UCSB campus. Read these stories and more below:
