Our little town, tucked away in Santa Barbara county. 40k plus residents (not counting our infamous prison visitors) in the "cool Mediterranean climate heavily influenced by it's ocean breeze". We enjoy our June gloom all year round in our little island; some 20 plus miles in any direction from anywhere.
Take a look..........

Land office / Harness shop circa 1890 bears the advertising slogan " MJB Coffee WHY".
This 1910 slogan appears all thru out San Francisco and Oakland as it was plastered ON buildings everywhere. Must have migrated the 250 miles down here.
The great news is the old Lompoc theatre on the other side of this building is in the midst of a rebirth AND this old piece of history will be kept as a prominent piece of the redesign.
Thank you Mz. Julia Dreyfus for contributing $ 100,000 to get the project moving towards reality after years of talk....
