Good Bones: A Column About What Lasts

Kellow family portrait: Kiel, Danny, and Emily

elcome to Good Bones, my new column in time at a salvage center for building materials, doing the Santa Barbara Independent. You might be what I love: showing love to old relics. Real estate was practically inevitable. I come from asking, “Who are you, and why do you have a three generations of Realtors. In Oregon, I loved selling column in the Indy Real Estate section?” I relate. I’ve been asking myself the same question houses to my friends, people my own age whose lives were forever changed by homeownership. After growlately. ing up with Santa Barbara I can’t fully answer prices, real estate ownership the existential verfelt like a rebellion, and I was sion — that’s probably a there to usher people in. lifelong project — but I I outworked and outcan explain how I came smarted most of my comto have this column.

His mother was also a Emily and her mom, Annette, in the upper yard at Starr King, circa 1989 working, funniest, most handsome man I had ever native Santa Barbaran, as encountered, who also hapwere her parents before her. My mom is the wild card, a treasured import all pened to be a contractor. We eventually traded too the way from Queens, New York, who landed in Santa many gray, rainy Portland days for the sunny skies of Barbara 45 years ago.

I tried to keep doing real estate through those first I have deep roots here, and I’ve always loved Santa Barbara: its history, its quirks, and, most relevantly, its months of new motherhood, but it felt unnaturally spectacular old homes, especially on the Upper East stressful.

The words aren’t always said out loud, but we felt it — and we still feel it — a lot. These early years have been genuinely hard. But we kept at it, and little by little, we earned our seat at a table that sometimes felt like it was never set for us. Turns out, great work can often speak louder than a long legacy. That persistence is what led me here. I started writing a newsletter about the realities of construction and design in this market, blogging like the good elder millennial that I am. When I approached the Independent about celebrating Kellow’s fifth anniversary, I was hoping for a feature. That conversation turned into something bigger and better: my own column, on my own terms, with a name I got to choose myself. Here, I’ll get to speak honestly about old homes and real estate in this city. I bring a little irreverence, a lot of honesty, and a respect for a business I am no longer in myself, but understand in a way that’s unique. Good Bones. I love this name because it works on every level: permits, budgets, working-mom life, building a business with your spouse, doing hard things, pushing limits, getting knocked down and getting back up again and again. My hope is that this column makes people feel a little less alone by pulling back the curtain in a way that feels human, not transactional. And that it gives me a place to show up as my real self, which I’ve come to believe gives everyone around me a little more permission to do the same.

STREET STORIES

SANTA BARBARA NEWS-PRESS, JUNE 1, 1939

Valerio Street: A Former ‘Speedway’ by Betsy J. Green

And the Winner Is ...

First soap box derby winner congratulated by police officer

he top part of Valerio Street, on its eastern end where it meets Grand Avenue, was one of the steepest streets of Santa Barbara in the early 1900s. Technology has allowed us to pave and drive on much steeper streets now, but in 1914, the city wasn’t quite sure how to transform this dirt street into asphalt. Some folks recommended that the top of the street, called Valerio Hill, should have “brick in the center of the street…. The brick [10 feet wide] was planned because of the steep grade, and as it would enable horses to pull heavier loads without liability of falling in rainy weather” (Santa Barbara Daily News, September 9, 1914). Eventually, the road was paved with asphalt. ”

Setting a Record

It was a tough climb for horses, and the steep portion of the street was also used as a test for early automobiles. In 1921, the local paper published a photo of Valerio Street being used to demonstrate the power of a new car. “Climbing the steep Valerio Street hill on high is some job. But a stock Oldsmobile Four did this trick a few weeks ago … it is the second time any automobile has accomplished such a feat” (Santa Barbara Morning Press, May 15, 1921). Climbing the hill was a challenge, but traveling downhill attracted another group of drivers who may have used the street name (named after a Chumash

outlaw) as inspiration. “Too Much Speed. The Valerio Street hill, which seems to be the place most motorists select to test the speed of their cars, proved the downfall of E. Croft yesterday. Speed Officer Tatreau nabbed Croft as he was making 28 miles an hour down the hill” (Santa Barbara Morning Press, June 25, 1918). A year later, another speed demon was charged with traveling 34 miles an hour down Valerio Hill. (Back in the 19-teens, the speed limit in Santa Barbara was 15 miles per hour.)

“A freckle-faced little fellow named Lawrence Wathey … was declared winner in Santa Barbara’s first Soap Box Derby … several hundred persons watched the event. Eleven-year-old Lawrence won over stiff competition and negotiated the West Valerio Street course at a speed of 36 miles an hour” (Santa Barbara News-Press, May 31, 1939). (Please note: Your trusty Street Stories columnist does not recommend speeding on Valerio Street in any vehicle — commercial or homemade!)

First Soapbox Derby

Fast-forward 20 years, and speeding was judged a good thing when Santa Barbara’s first soapbox derby took place on Memorial Day in 1939. “Hammer and nails are due for overwork during the next few weeks as youngsters between

the ages of 10 and 15 years begin work on their ‘racing jobs’.... The track has been set up from the top of West Valerio Street hill [State Street]. “Rules for the derby are that the materials for construction should not cost more than $5 and must be constructed by the boy or girl entering…. Specifications for construction include a wheelbase of not less than 3 feet 8 inches, width between front wheels, not less than 2 feet ½ inches, the weight of entire car and driver must not exceed 175 pounds, steering mechanism must be in good condition and some type of brake must be included in the equipment…. The Police Department has promised cooperation” (Santa Barbara News-Press, May 7, 1939). Things got more serious as the weeks went by. “Construction costs have been raised to $10 and the weight of racers to 250 pounds. Wheels are limited to 12 inches. The new specifications were deemed necessary to ensure more safety for the driver” (Santa Barbara News-Press, May 19, 1939). “More than 15 young boys, with their home-built replicas of the Indianapolis racers, are expected to enter the race. The course is one-half mile long and some of the contestants have already tested the ‘track,’ being clocked at 30 miles an hour” (Santa Barbara News-Press, May 30, 1939).
