maybe so, Seaurchin, I used to live on Hill St near Lincoln and worked at RAND many years...

anyway, my post was misleading, I guess, as I knew she didn't mean Solvang, I knew she meant Santa Barbara, but I meant I never thought of SB as being European feeling in particular (no more than Santa Monica or San Luis Obispo or Ojai or Pasadena). Just another nice upscale beach town. It's funny someone said San Francisco as that is the one city I might have said had a European feeling in California, in a way.

I read that article, or else she's said that to others, also. I didn't get it at the time I read it, either--made no sense to me at all. Maybe because they have a farmer's market or something, but those are all over nowadays. I don't think my friends who lived in Santa Barbara thought it was very European feeling, that's for sure--they got tired of all the students downtown and the high prices for little house due to it being trendy with movie stars (even though not very many good jobs), and they moved to some island off Seattle.
