A Walk Down Memory Lane Part 1

View of the interior of old Fuzion location at 3120 State Street

While renovations are ongoing in our space and we are offering curb side pick up only it felt like a good time to reflect on the almost 14 years of our company history in Santa Barbara on State Street.

So take a trip with us down memory lane while we revisit some of the sparse photo footage that we could track down from the early days and through this last decade. 

 

3120 State Street Photo of Old Fuzion store interior

 Our 3120 State Street location was popping from late 2006-2009, this pic is at the end of that run in 2009. Then we moved to our current location at 1115 State Street. 

 

Fuzion interior showing clothing racks and artwork on walls

Our new space was bigger than our old one and we couldn't even fill it up at first, here's a pic of the upstairs clothing store from 2010.

Upstairs Fuzion Event People walking

 

We didn't have any problems filling it with people though, and we quickly realized that events would be a good way to further integrate with the community and show people our space.

This guy was the first artist to do a show at Fuzion, Michael Heltebrake, he opened the doors for us, which is punny because his paintings were on doors.

George the DJ, lot's of underground hip hop and groovy vibes if I remember right.

We met our homie Chadillac at one of these things, he did art shows with us too.
