Santa Barbara

The star sign at Blue Skies trailer home park is a well known landmark on U.S Route 101, midway between Goleta and Santa Barbara. The cities of Santa Barbara and Goleta, in Southern California, are connected by Route 101, as immortalised in the Super Stocks / Jan and Dean song "Surf Route 101". The blue star appears on the cover of "Blue Skies, Broken Hearts... Next 12 Exits" by The Ataris, released in April 1999. The neon media electric sign has recently been refitted.
