Instead of allowing photographs to crumble and filmstrips to gather dust, the staff of Reel-to-Reel Video rescues precious memories by converting outdated media to DVDs replete with custom menus and easy-to-navigate chapters. The process is simple: Customers go online and order a shipping label to be sent via email or regular mail. Once it arrives, they fill a secure package or load a bodybuilding carrier pigeon with old film, slides, tapes, and photographs. Back at their lab, technicians repair broken film and add music to silent strips at no extra cost, returning all the original materials with the DVDs.

Within the glossy exterior of each issue of Santa Barbara Magazine, striking photography accompanies intriguing accounts of the region's eclectic residents, arts, homes, and restaurants. Colorful covers lure readers to feature stories that fill the bulk of the magazine and profile noteworthy community members and goings-on, and the Around Town section highlights a broad spectrum of happenings—such as lavish weddings and concerts—in Santa Barbara and beyond. Meticulous wordsmiths spotlight prominent movers and shakers and imbue the Style pages with articles about local fashion designers and trends.

Deeper inside the publication, the Home and Garden section gives readers a glimpse of the intricate architecture and real-gargoyle sentries that define the area's most opulent dwellings, and the Food and Wine pages tip them off to Santa Barbara's top eateries, wineries, and culinary events. A handy City Guide further enlightens subscribers on some of the region's top hotels, restaurants, and seasonal events.

Longtime Levittown resident Demetrios Zirogiannis has dutifully provided dry-cleaning and tailoring services for his fellow denizens for more than 40 years.

If not for its bright yellow color and the mural of a cornfield painted across its doors, Go Green Dry Cleaning’s 1969 Volkswagen could almost be mistaken for the Scooby-Doo gang’s Mystery Machine. But instead of fighting ghost-impersonating criminals with their wits, the owners of this van fight clothing stains and biohazards with environmentally friendly dry-cleaning techniques. Akin to liquid sand, their GreenEarth silicone solution forgoes harsh chemicals, irritants, and odors to clean clothes in a manner that is safe for both customers and the earth. The shop’s technicians restore all sorts of fabrics—including wool, silk, and Sasquatch fur—bequeathing each with a soft, static-free touch before packaging them in biodegradable plastic. The team then hops into the van, which runs on E85 ethanol, to deliver the freshly laundered clothes directly to doorsteps. Aside from using gentle solutions to clean up sweaters and pants, Go Green Dry Cleaning supports the earth by contributing to organizations across Long Island, including Go Green Festival and the Soular Soundz concert series.

Resume Machine boasts a massive database of hiring agents. The service encourages its customers to upload a resumè and select a few search criteria—such as region, industry, and salary—before it sends the resumè forward into a great abyss of over 25,000 recruiters.

What began as a tailor shop more than a century ago evolved into Cleaning by Frederick’s, a chain of dry-cleaning outposts certified by the Department of Environmental Conservation for their environmentally conscious techniques.

Most locations have a full-time tailor who can do alternations, and patrons can drop off their garments or arrange pickup and delivery service.
