Nice going, Bonnie. Way to keep up with what's going down in Santa Barbara. American Fiction sounds good too; okay for what age group?

Bonnie, you raised an interesting question about city project decisions being made with other more hidden goals in mind. Let me add my own curiosity about the very welcome city dog park on Upper State Street, near the De la Vina intersection which replaced a very unsavory public drinking hangout. However, this new dog park was also located right next to a large and attractive motel complex.

I always thought that was a very odd that a potentially noisy city project to put directly next to a location where a motel customers might expect some degree of peace and quiet; not to be next to this new concentration of barking dogs. Then a year or so later without much review by the surrounding neighborhood, that very same motel is now being converted into Section 8 housing. I now wonder if that Section 8 conversion was part of the dog park grand plan plan all along.
