I lived in Santa Barbara in the mid/late 2000s and absolutely fell in love with the local avocados. They were so cheap back then, too. You could regularly find them for 3/4 for $1. The place I worked at back then, one of the technicians would make a big batch of guacamole every single Wednesday, it was awesome. I'm in Orange County these days. I still eat a lot of avocados (it's part of my normal lunch during the week) but they're so much more expensive today and they're also, unfortunately, rarely local any more.
