Hand made wooden toys would sell like fucking hot cakes to the rich ladies in this town. There is not a decent toy store in all of Santa Barbara. Which is weird.

One of the things I remember about Santa Barbara is the weird surprising lack of many things you'd think any decent size city with some money in it would have. I remember a surprising lack of quality and variety in restaurants. I remember a lackluster music scene (for all genres, punk to classical). I remember a lack of good stores for any hobbies. All of that stuff happened on weekend trips to L.A. (I was there from 1981 to 1991, for college and a few years afterward.)
