and take a closer look at the Granada Theater...
which happened to be celebrating it's 90th year of existence! It was recently restored and is considered the "Crown Jewel" of Santa Barbara's historic cultural district. You can tell this is a "dated" photo by looking at the movie listed on the marquee.
We didn't go inside but explored the spacious foyer and admired all of the arches, Spanish tilework, and the architectural ornamentation and such...

More sights from State Street:
This is where folks were going to camp out for their prime "spots" during the Summer Solstice event.
We'll have to explore Santa Barbara in greater depth next time. It's always just "passing through" for lunch.

Our next destination was yet another coastal town, one with a pier that TC was excited to see...
