I was informed by a city ranger that when I park on the street. the front end of my truck CANNOT be within 20 (twenty) ft of it's corner. Is there such a rule!

Anyone know why Papa Murphy’s is still closed after 3 weeks?

If you have information on Seth Woodill, SB County Sheriff sergeant, we want to hear from you! Sgt. Woodill wrongfully authorized the use of semi-lethal force against an innocent family, and when it became obvious to officers that no crime was committed proceeded to maliciously prosecute the family anyway. He is currently under an internal affairs investigation and we are holding him accountable. If you know something, say something.

Are you tired of throwing away your money on rent, but unwilling to get an insane 7% mortgage? Well you’re in luck. I’m selling my condo in Orcutt, and it’s got an assumable VA loan from 2021 with an interest rate of only 2.625%! That means your rate would be below inflation, which is practically unheard of today. The neighborhood’s got multiple pools, hot tubs, tennis courts, and a tree-lined walking trail perfect for a jog or walking your dog. It’s super convenient to the 101 and Vandenberg. Perfect for an up and coming NCO or CGO

Like I know this city relies heavily on cars. And ngl public transportation gets you laughed at. So I walk to my destinations and I faced so much harassment for simply being a pedestrian. I had people roll down their windows and yell “N word with hard r” like I ain’t black at all guys. And once they yelled ”joto” at me and honked. I’m 16F and these were grown adult men not like those teens who do it for fun yk? Had people honk at me for crossing the street even though they signaled me to go. Is it just the stigma that I ain’t a car driver living somewhere that heavily relies on cars? What’s yall‘s opinions?

Hi everyone! My name is Ellie and I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and share a little about the mom community I’ve been working on building here in Santa Maria!

I’m the creator of the Facebook group Santa Maria Mamas & Littles and a co-host for the Mom Walk Collective Santa Maria!

After moving to the area, I realized how hard it can be to make mom friends, especially when you’re in a new place or navigating a new stage of motherhood. Motherhood can be such a beautiful experience but it can also feel lonely sometimes. I wanted to create a space where local moms could connect, build genuine friendships and feel a little less alone.

That’s what inspired me to start Santa Maria Mamas & Littles! My goal is to bring moms together, create opportunities for our little ones to socialize and build a community where we can support one another through all the different seasons of motherhood 💗

I also decided to become an ambassador and co-host for Mom Walk Collective because I loved the idea of creating opportunities for moms to get out of the house, enjoy some fresh air, meet other women who understand this season of life and build friendships in a relaxed, welcoming environment. Sometimes, all it takes is showing up to one walk to meet someone who becomes a friend! 🥹🌷

And the best part? Every mama is welcome! Whether you’re expecting your first baby, a brand-new mom, a seasoned mama or raising teenagers or grown children, there’s a place for you here.

You’re welcome to bring your littles along or come on your own!
I’m so excited to continue growing this community and meeting more amazing women in our area.

If you’re a local mama looking to make friends, get involved or simply find other moms to connect with, we’d love to have you!

Humor me for a minute.

How is it that the Santa Maria Airport Board, a relatively obscure, five-person board that most people in this town probably couldn’t name a single member of, has suddenly become the hottest political real estate in the Santa Maria Valley?

For years, the airport has apparently managed to operate without most of us giving its governing board a second thought. Then, out of nowhere, we have Arredondo and Clayton spending THOUSANDS of dollars competing for one seat, plastering their faces across town like they’re running for Congress instead of overseeing the airport.

Suddenly, everybody wants to be somebody at SMX. Billboards, campaign signs, the whole production. You’d think we were electing the next mayor of Santa Maria, negotiating a major international trade agreement, or deciding the future of the Central Coast economy.

And maybe the airport board really is the most consequential local governing body nobody talks about. If so, someone might want to tell the rest of us what we’ve been missing.

But in a town where half the political action seems to happen behind closed doors and the other half happens on Facebook, forgive me for being a little skeptical when a relatively quiet board seat suddenly attracts this much money, attention, and ambition.

So, what exactly makes this seat so valuable? What are the issues at stake? What do these candidates plan to accomplish? And why are we seeing this level of campaigning for a position most residents probably couldn’t explain five minutes ago?

I’m not alleging anything. I’m simply suggesting that when the enthusiasm, spending, and visibility seem wildly disproportionate to the public profile of the position, voters are entitled to ask questions.

And while we’re at it, maybe we should hear from a few people who aren’t already plastered on every other street corner. You know, someone who actually makes us curious enough to look up the airport district, read the meeting minutes, and ask what the board does at all.

Santa Maria has no shortage of people who want to be important. I’d love to see a few more people explain why they want the job or want one of these two showboats to have it. Literally, who the fuck even are these people listed?

Hello, I'm in financial services and I get referred lots of people who are here illegally. I was hoping to connect/partner up with an immigration attorney to get some of these people on the right path.

Some of the clients referred to me are 6 figure income earners that are married to US citizens and have US citizen children and they all tell me that in order to get citizenship they have to back to Mexico for 7 or 10 years. There is no way that's accurate.

Does anyone have a good immigration attorney recommendation? I'd prefer someone between the age of 30-50. Let me know!

I mean, with this weather, it’s not like we are almost a month into fall, right?

This sick car at betteravia and Mcoy

They're still getting their little dining area set up, but they're serving Creole and Cajun food again Wednesday through Saturday, 11-7, after being closed for a few years. I'd heard about them but hadn't had them, but omg. My gf and I got the sampler platter with tru tip, chicken, sausage, and pork ribs and it was all sous vide tender and delicious. Everything was spicy including the potato salad, macaroni and cheese, and the rice and beans. The peach cobbler was huge and delicious. I'm only on here telling you because I want them to stay open.
