Looking for organic foods in Santa Maria? I recommend you stop by Lassen’s on South Broadway. They have a great selection of organic foods. I don’t think you need to be a food extremist to want to eat organic. It simplytastes better in my opinion. It does cost a little more, but you can use that as a great excuse to be mindful about how much food we waste. Buy what you know you will eat and enjoy it; I guess that is the anti-Costco philosophy. Lassens also has almost every kind of health supplement you could imagine and what they don’t have they will order for you. If you have food or cosmetic sensitivties, Lassen’s may indeed stock the soaps, lotions, or gluten free products that you need. The dairy case includes cage free eggs, unsweetend yogurt and an assortment of cheeses. While Trader Joe’s, is a great place to begin your organic food shopping, many times I end up at Lassens to complete it.
In July 2006, Mint Properties opened an office in the Mission Creek Plaza on Santa Maria Way. Tni’s stated aim is to offer the highest quality representation and professional service to her clients. Independence affords her the ability to avoid a volume driven approach; the result is prompt, reliable, individualized service coupled with straightforward advice. Indeed, she brings the same level of professionalism to real estate as she did to the law.
It is located at 200 S. H Street in Old Town Lompoc and housed in a building constructed with funds from the Andrew Carnegie endowment. The building itself is a thing of beauty, (for people that love houses – like me!) built in the Classic Revival style, it has a both a stately appearance and elegant charm.
It may seem like small news, but in Santa Maria it is big news that we got a Trader Joe's. For those of us who have been making the treck up to Arroyo Grande for years -- the arrival of Trader Joe's in Santa Maria is a real treat. I can't wait to zip up the street for the fresh organic produce and meats. It is conveniently located in south Santa Maria near Costco, right off the 101 Stowell exit. Since Santa Maria is now the largest city in Santa Barbara county -- it is about time! Welcome Trader Joe's! They are set to open on March 16th.
Superbowl plans fall through? There are a couple of spots in Santa Maria where you can go catch the game with strangers who will soon become friends depending on who your team is. Since both sides of my family are originally from Louisiana, (although my mom was born and raised in Texas, her family is from Minden, Louisiana), and my Dad was born in New Orleans — it should be obvious who I’m pulling for although I think there is just too much pressure on the Saints! I’m hoping for the best. Quite frankly, just getting there is such a victory for New Orleans. I visited New Orleans just this past December, and you could have heard a pin drop in the French Quarter while the Saints were playing, every place we went people were watching the game or listening to it on the radio. The city of New Orleans is so united behind this team.
