What is the “weirdest” thing you’ve ever experienced in Santa Barbara?

Hey SB,

I’m currently working on a project called **Santa Barbara Weird**. While most of the world sees us as a postcard of red-tiled roofs and beaches, those of us who live here know there’s a much stranger, "thinner" side to this city.

I’m looking to collect stories, urban legends, and "unexplained" experiences from locals. I’m interested in **anything** that felt off, bizarre, or otherworldly.

**I’m looking for things like:**

* **Spatial Glitches:** Have you ever felt like you were stuck in a "loop" (especially at night near the waterfront)?

* **The "Uncanny":** Spots in town that feel like a "portal" or where the air just feels different (Summerland, the tunnels, the mountain ridges).

* **Local Lore:** The stories your friends tell that never make it into the history books.

* **Urban Legends:** Weird "hidden" spots, secret societies (like the Saint Germain history), or the "Dark Watchers" in the hills.

I recently had an experience near Cabrillo where the world felt like it was "looping" and the colors turned into a strange prism—it felt like I had stepped out of reality for an eternity.

**What’s your "Santa Barbara Weird" story?** Whether it’s a full-on glitch in the matrix or just a local legend that gives you the creeps, I want to hear it. Feel free to DM if you don't want to post publicly!

[Video] CHP take down a possible suspect on US 101 near Santa Barbara! 🚔

I was going southbound on US 101 near Santa Barbara earlier today when a CHP truck blocked all lanes of the freeway and forced everyone to stop. This is the event that played out while I was stuck in traffic. I don’t know the context beforehand that led up to that arrest, but it played out long enough for me to capture this brief video clip before I started moving again… 😬

remember wylde works?

if you guys remember this going down with wylde works, and the subsequent opening of another bar under the same owner that ALSO got shut down….. the band who spearheaded this movement and stood up after the incident dropped a song about it today. thought it was some really good storytelling and true to that angst that we need more of. the kids are ok!!!

Karate for Kids... with accomodations?

Hi All,

I have a 6yo (soon to be 7) who's interested in karate. He was born with congenital knee dislocation and had surgery at 4mo to correct it. However, he was left with some restrictions on range of movement. Both knees can only bend about 90°. Otherwise, perfectly healthy 6yo.

Looking for a karate dojo that's great for kids and with a supportive environment for his needs.

We live in Goleta for what it's worth.

Thanks!

Currently looking into day care options. Does anyone have experience with Child’s Play on San Andres and pricing? It looks really cute and is close by to where we live.
