Hubba Hubba Lane: A Doggone Tale
W
ay back when in 1965, a parked car with a handbrake problem rolled down Laurel Canyon Road, smashed into another parked car, and accidentally started the story of Hubba Hubba Lane. The neighbors used that nickname for the little alley where the accident occurred, so that’s what police wrote in their accident report. But this tiny dead-end street above Foothill Road did not have a formal name — yet. Local journalists were quick to notice the story, and they rushed to their typewriters (remember typewriters?) to pound out articles about one of the quirkiest street names in our fair city. Just a few days later, reporters started the move to make Hubba Hubba Lane official. “It is fitting that among the roadways named for old settlers, heroes, historical incidents, natural landmarks, trees, watercourses, and politicians, there be one named for a dog. “Come on, City Council — make it official and get it on the maps. It’s ring-a-ding” (Santa Barbara NewsPress, August 6, 1965). I’m guessing “ring-a-ding” was ’60s slang for “wildly exciting.”
‘Hubba Hubba’ & World War II
“Hubba hubba” also means “wildly exciting.” The venerable Wikipedia explains, “ ‘Hubba hubba’ is an exclamation used to express intense approval, excitement, or enthusiasm. Most commonly shouted upon seeing

someone physically attractive, it is a playful, slightly dated slang term that traces its roots back to American soldiers during World War II.” Indeed, when Bob Hope was entertaining troops overseas back then, he used the term when introducing attractive women on stage. There was also a popular song in the 1940s titled “Hubba Hubba.” Anyway, back to the dog. “Hubba Hubba was a MOTION PICTURE HERALD, MARCH 2, 1946

STREET STORIES
familiar figure hobbling down the street … one of this loveable pooch’s idiosyncrasies was to carry around an empty dog food can in his mouth … when he growled into his dog food can ‘he sure was ferocious’” (Santa Barbara News-Press, August 11, 1965). More stories about the canine appeared in the papers in 1965, along with a photo showing him with a missing leg. “Hubba Hubba lost that leg by amputation after some unknown with a gun winged him…. Nobody who knew him will ever forget him’ ” (Santa Barbara NewsPress, August 11, 1965). Next, with a speed that is difficult to believe in Santa Barbara today, just weeks after the first chapter in the Hubba Hubba legend hit the papers, a city councilman made the decision to make the name official and put up a real street sign on the corner of Hubba Hubba Lane and Laurel Canyon Road.
Don’t Forget the Kids
It was actually the neighborhood kids who invented the name for the alley. “One day in about 1955, when they were up in a fort they’d built in the fields [that area was not developed yet], the four kids dreamed up the idea of dubbing their unnamed lane in honor of Hubba” (Santa Barbara News-Press, April 14, 1986). (Thanks to the late John Dell who mentioned this street name to me years ago.) Please do not disturb the residents of this area. Any ideas for future Santa Barbara streets for this column?

Community Comes Together at Free Goleta Dam Dinner

INDEPENDENT REAL ESTATE
AUGUST 20, 2026
The communal table
Goleta City Council: Luz Reyes-Martín, Stuart Kasdin, Mayor Paula Perotte, Jennifer Smith, and James Kyriaco
L
ast Saturday on the scenic shore of Lake Los Carneros, hundreds of Goleta residents — from toddlers to seniors — enjoyed the annual Goleta Dam Dinner. Hosted by the City of Goleta and the Goleta Valley Historical Society, the free event was open to everyone, with no ticket or even an RSVP needed. There was no need to bring a dish to share, though many did, in line with the spirit of community that permeated the event. In an interview, Goleta Mayor Paula Perotte shared that the city started the event back in 2013 as a way to give back to the community. The first event was spectacular, Perotte related, and it has just grown from there. There’s no agenda, she continued, “just people meeting new neighbors, hanging out with neighbors they know, breaking bread, sharing food.” Each year, Perotte has shown up with her homemade peanut butter cookies, but this year, a full-day power outage at her house prevented the tradition from continuing, which caused many inquiries about the missing cookies. A seemingly endless communal table ran parallel to the lake’s shore, where guests socialized with friends and family. Most guests brought their own food, though Lobo Butcher Shop and Kona Ice were popular too. Some came alone, others in groups. Some were firsttimers; others were “Dam Dinner Groupies,” according to Goleta Community Relations Manager Kelly Hoover, returning each year for the annual tradition. Overheard were comments of pleasant surprise at how big and beautiful the park is, with the sun glistening on the blue water. The table was adorned with
beautiful succulent centerpieces created by residents of Devereux with developmental and intellectual disabilities. As part of its #GoGreenGoleta initiative, the city provided reusable utensil place settings. The nonprofit Cycling Without Age Santa Barbara transported those with mobility challenges or just a preference for being chauffeured to their table. Volunteer pilots Jack Bailey and Dwayne Cripe powered the trishaws from the La Patera entrance. Among the grateful passengers were Roberta Silsbury and Diane Isaacson, classmates from San Marcos High School’s first class in 1963. MOVE Santa Barbara County provided bike valet services for many guests, just as they do for every concert at the Santa Barbara Bowl, as well as at festivals and nonprofit events countywide. Some of the patrons of the free service related how they didn’t like parking their bikes in the bushes last year, but came by bike again this year because they knew about the valet service and were quite pleased with the arrangement. The returning Salt Martians delighted once again with their bluegrass music. Both kids and adults indulged in the free face-painting station, while others enjoyed corn hole, fishing, and the offerings of the Goleta Valley Library Bookvan, including craft making and book and movie checkouts. Each year at the event, there’s “lots of laughter, a great vibe … nothing fancy, just people connecting with one another,” Hoover remarked. “People really enjoy the fact that they can just take in this beautiful place and meet new friends and enjoy a meal together.”

Can Paris’s Nature-Based Approach Attenuate Extreme Heat?

GOING GREEN
Thus far, there have only been pilot projects under the city’s cool roof program, trying out reflective coatings, vegetationcovered green roofs or rooftop terraces, and better roof insulation. The results are impressive, some turning zinc “ovens” into top-floor apartments that are 32 degrees F. cooler. Other European cities are watching how this preservation-adaption contest plays out in Paris.

a seven-minute walk for every resident. The data shows a decrease in temperature of four to eight degrees Fahrenheit compared to surrounding areas. Addressing heat extremes in Paris is part of larger efforts to cut carbon emissions by 40 percent within 10 years and make the city more livable. Walking and biking are gaining priority. Sixty thousand street parking spaces have been removed and planted with thousands of canopy trees. Thousands more have been added at curbsides for shade and storm water absorption. The banks of the Seine are being transformed into social hubs with newly added parks, makeshift beaches, and floating pools on the river. The iconic rooftops that define Paris are increasingly acting as heat traps. The city is struggling with the dilemma of architectural preservation and thermal livability.
