Protect the Old Mission

It’s incredulous to even consider a behemoth prison-like structure at 505 East Los Olivos Street to be right beside the Mission and mar the visual.

One image identifies Santa Barbara worldwide.

It isn’t Montecito, The Biltmore, The Clark Estate, Hope Ranch, any museum, any celebrity, or even State Street.

It is Old Mission Santa Barbara founded in 1786.
