••• The 23-apartment complex at 800 Santa Barbara Street (at the northeast corner of E. De La Guerra) is coming along.

••• From the Santa Barbara International Film Festival: “SBIFF’s second installment of Film Talk will feature Dani Rodriguez and Christine Meseer discussing their film Trail Heads with SBIFF’s programmer Audrey Arn on Thursday, July 30, at 6 p.m. The film shows us how after the Thomas Fire and subsequent mudslides, two opposing mountain biking and hiking communities came together to rebuild common ground.” Watch the 15-minute film and sign up for the Q&A.

••• I learned a new real-estate term: FROG, or finished room over garage, as used in an email by the broker for 117 Crestview.
