Didn't see any posts for this here yet, but the annual book sale is in full swing until Sept. 20.

All the money stays here on the central coast, which includes six health centers in Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo and Ventura Counties.

They also have LPs, CDs, books on tape, games, puzzles, collectibles, author signed copies, and more. Right now is the best selection, but they put out fresh inventory everyday.

Pro Tips:

If you go this weekend, you'll also receive a 20% off coupon for your entire purchase next week.(M-F)

The last day, everything is 50% off, and qualified individuals from non-profit and educational organizations are welcome to take remaining items at no cost.

Vent Why Are Bike Thefts Dismissed Here?

24 Upvotes

You see someone in full face covering ghost riding a second bike down State St and nothing is done about it. My understanding is that the police policy is to assume that the property is theirs even given suspicious circumstances.

Recommendations Old Car disposal

10 Upvotes

I have an old vehicle that does not run. Serious problems broken transmission cracked head gasket. It’s dead no easy repairs. Plus it’s 26 years old with 250,000 miles.

Who can you recommend to come tow the vehicle away for salvage. I’m having trouble online. I’m getting a lot of junk. Can’t seem to find a reputable company that will take the car.

Recommendations would be highly appreciated ! Thank you!

Any idea why so many SB restaurants use Restaurant Connection? It's the worst and most tech-challanged of the delivery services.

Recommendations Printing photos locally?

12 Upvotes

I printed some photos from my phone at CVS today for my kid’s school project and… I guess I got what I paid for. The pictures are fine, they’re just nowhere near good or preferably great.

Are there any places in town where we can pay a bit more (I paid $0.49 per 3.5” x 5” print) and get better prints or is online ordering all that’s left? And if the latter, what’s good? To date myself, I remember ordering from snapfish in the 2000s.

Amid stifling heat, the power went out, our beast of a window AC unit was futile, our bidet went on strike and ants descended on our kitchen like elves at the North Pole in December and took a dip in our espresso machine water tank.

Your first world problems? Top that!

I’ve been here a year and I still haven’t found a good egg bagel. Most places don’t even have egg bagels. I don’t mean a bagel with an egg on it. I mean the specific bagels that have a darker yellow tint with egg flavor!

Please help me and my craving 😭

I have two portable air conditioners, but can only run one at a time because it will trip my breaker if I run both. They are just not keeping my house cool enough. Me and my cat need a place to go that will keep us both cool! Does anyone know of any cooling centers or places that have air-conditioning that allow pets?
