Unfortunately, some of locations are closed due to the Pandemic such as the classic Greek Revival Lompoc History Museum which was the former city library as well as the "not listed in the walk" iconic, classic Streamline Art Deco Mike's Bar that's on Ocean Avenue just east of H Street. Takes about an hour leisurely walking past many murals, al fresco paintings with no stops inside noted sites or lunching in such noted restaurants like Sissy's where a hot mushroom salad and coconut cream pie awaits. Great way to intimately get to know a small, military base town surrounded by famous wineries in Santa Barbara County. 4- stars

The 3 towns that are neighbors there include: Buelton, Lompoc and of course the famous Danish Village called Solvang. What a nice experience we had. The office is conveniently located just to the west side of the freeway and a little north of main street. Charming seaside style two story building that houses many other business as well. The office is stocked with a great selection of brochures and fliers. The quality of the publications is top of the line. Beautiful pictures, excellent short articles and wonderful information. We even picked up a map of California that is rarely given away free these days other than at the Auto Club. The wonderful lady on duty suggested we would enjoy the drive towards the coast and towards Lompoc and Vandenberg. We did. What a pretty drive though nature and vineyards. Don't forget to drive in the other direction past Solvang to visit the San Ynez Valley too.

With that changed my understanding, respect , and support of our local law enforcement has grown immensely. When faced with difficult emotional and physical situations where potentially laws are being broken having an organization who sets a very high standard of integrity and gives new meaning to 'protect and serve' is so reassuring. My family and I now when we see a member of the Sheriff department nearly feel compelled to go say thank you. Though all members of the department that we have spoken with have been helpful one member in particular stands out.

This County Sheriff's office has some serious issues. First off, why doesn't Santa Barbara follow…read morethe SIDS protocol in an obvious SIDS death? My son passed away at 3 1/2 mos while at daycare in 2003 while propped on his side with stuffed animals. Sheriff Todaro told us it was a classic SIDS case when he called our house at 2:00 am. the day our son passed. He also stated that when he was a baby he had stuffed animals in the crib and didn't think there was anything wrong with the stuffed animals propping our son up. He wanted to know why we didn't wait for him at the hospital to show up......guess he figured our 2 year old didn't need any sleep. The medical examiner stated on his death certificate that he died from Waterhouse Friedricksen's Syndrome. After a couple of doctors observed the autopsy report, they didn't agree with what was written. I then contacted Dr. Henry Krous at San Diego Children's Hospital and he did a second autopsy. The slides were obtained from Santa Barbara where they were cut in half. Dr. Henry Krous's second autopsy revealed Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. I then contacted Sheriff Todaro and he that he would put the second opinion autopsy on file. I then asked why Santa Barbara didn't follow the SIDS protocol. He was defensive and said that they did and that our son had an infection that spread very quickly. We told him our son had a crying incident, but that had nothing to do with his death. Our son never even had a cold in his short 3 1/2 mos of life. When we spoke to Sheriff Todaro to retrieve our son's car seat, I mentioned to him that I had some information on the Kym Morgan case. I told him that case always had bothered me and that I had possibly seen the men when I worked at McDonald's. He remembered the case quite well, and stated that he was a fresh-faced cherubed boy just starting out and that was his first case. He could care less about any information I had for him. I then asked him about the smell and the morgue with the neighbors....he wouldn't discuss it. I seriously hope that A-Hole is enjoying his damn pension for not doing his damn job. DO YOU NOT HAVE ANY BRAINS OVER THERE???? WTF? I have yet to see a SIDS diagnosis come out of Santa Barbara. That medical examiner hopefully is rattling some metal bars.
