Here is another Santa Barbara area Trivia question: What Iconic symbol of the "Establishement" was burned to the ground in 1969 in Isla Vista as an anti war protest? Isla Vista is connected to the University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB)
I will disqualify my self from this trivia questioin also .. You see ,,the night I and the wife were picked up at the Fess Parker hotel to be taken out to dinner at the San Ysidro Ranch ,,I needed a belt for my slacks ..I ask the chauffeur if he knew of a place in the city where I could buy one on our way to dinner..
He said yes and took us to State Street and had me get out of the car and go into the mens warehosue to get one while he circlled around the block and picked me up at the street curb..

So I got out of the car with my slacks and went into the store and told the guy that I needed a belt and I had a Limo out side waiting on me ,,and right away the guy said follow me .. He looked at my shoes picked out a belt to match and told me just go right into the changing room and he would have it all taken care of when I came out..

So , when I came out all I had to do is hand him my credit card and I was out on the street before my wife and the chauffeur had made one turn around the block .. And just after getting into the Limo is when he told us about what happened back in 1969 ..

Just had to tell my story ,,hope I didn't bore you ..LOL
