Joe Giordano My wife and I went to visit her daughter in Santa Barbara this past weekend. While the two ladies went shopping I spent the day wandering around that beautiful city. State Street was blocked off for a car show, but I'm not an automobile enthusiast, so I kept walking until I got to Anapuma Street where I followed some signs pointing to an Earth Day festival. The lawn near City Hall was dotted with dozens of booths and thousands of people.
