It's only been a mere three months since I was last in SB and it's amazing to see the transformation that is taking place on State St. Gone are some familiar staples such as Morning Glory, Rocks, Mel's, The Italian/Greek Deli, and Carrows. I did notice one surprise though when I trekked down to the beach and saw the return of Hot Spots in their native habitat?!? Perhaps some of the locals can set me straight, but wasn't that whole block supposed to go bye bye per some new housing development? Anyways, here are some pictures I took the other day while out walking with the little one:
Welcome back!
The beloved Italian/Greek Deli is now a Verizon store. Suck!
Zelo's...looks like another club/restaurant is taking shape.
No more Mel's -- WTF??? "I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you've had too much to drink tonight" is a phrase that was never echoed inside those walls.
Good ol' Rocks. I saw John Mayer/Matt Nathanson play there way before you ladies starting giving them the googly eyes. I still pat myself on the back for that one.
Jamba Juice is now a on trend Pinkberry.
Anthropology...meet Forever 21. *Update* Looks like Anthropology has moved up State St near the Old Navy.
The original Carrows aka the after party.
The once great Morning Glory is now apparently a Del Sol...sigh.
To save the best for last...drum roll please...the new Apple store! Pier One, thanks for exiting and allowing a much superior store to enter*.
*Set to open in May I hear.

I was with a guy that was once thrown out of mel's and I don't think he has had a drop to drink since then. He realized that if he got the boot from there he definitely had a problem. Thanks for the pics
the best spaghetti in town, I'm forever lost without it!
Good one E. That place is definitely missed here, for sure.
