📰 News we're reading

• The Best Under-the-Radar Steakhouse On The West Coast (cheapism.com) — Buellton’s own Hitching Post II gets spotlighted as one of the West Coast’s best under-the-radar steakhouses, praised for its Santa Maria–style, red-oak–grilled steaks and roadside charm. The roundup compares it with other Central Coast and West Coast spots, emphasizing value, tradition, and relaxed atmospheres over flashy, big-city steakhouse vibes.
   

• Solvang takes first step toward gaining local control of Mission Drive from Caltrans (ksby.com) — If you drive between Solvang and Buellton, city leaders in Solvang are starting a years-long process to take control of Mission Drive (Highway 246) from Caltrans, aiming to ease congestion that often backs up traffic toward Buellton and Santa Ynez. The move would eventually let Solvang make quicker changes to signals, maintenance, and street design, but any final handoff is still many years away.
