Totally disagree. Third window has better beer and great burgers. 1% for the planet is a merchandizing gimmick. Quit shilling for Topa.
The “another cookie-cutter gentrified spot that carp doesn’t want or need” title is only applicable to third window occupying the spot? But when Topa wanted it, it was going to be a cool hip 6th (cookie cutter) location. I doubt you would be commenting and liking negative things on instagram and siteline if Topa secured the spot. In reality, most of Topa’s locations inhabit spaces that have all experienced major gentrification changes. Hanging out off the Ave for a beer? Spending the day in the funk zone? The craft beer movement in and of itself is one big gentrification movement that both Topa and Third have found great success with!
Happy there so many other Topa locations where people can support community based model and their 1% pledge. Community over competition, right? Welp, see you in line for a burger! ???????? ???? ♥️
Good lord. The value in this spectacular historic home is the fact that it is nearly intact as the original famous architect first imagined in his office.
This house is for someone that appreciates that era and will very carefully bring it into this century use.
I agree with Hayley 100% we don’t want that or need it in carpinteria. Topa topa would have been a great choice.

Huge bummer. Was supposed to be a topa topa outpost and they were going to bring in their 1% for the planet/community-first model but third window came swooped in at the last hour. Plus developers were super shady about it. Was so looking forward to this community-first concept but now it’s looking like another cookie-cutter gentrified spot that carp doesn’t want or need
So excited. Will bring lots of folks downtown when other downtowns are struggling and closing down
Yummy!! The Smash Burgers at Third Window Brewing are the best!! Also excited Bettina & Corazón Cocina opening in Carpinteria too!!
smells like gentrification
Could not agree more. The HLC is increasingly of the mind that old = historic. My favorite is the median on Upper State that they recently designated a historic resource. It's literally a median with a ground cover and palms. Two plantings. To hear them tell it, it's the Lotusland of medians, a precious treasure that must be protected. It' a median. Yes, it's been there for a long time, but so has the street. I roll my eyes every time I drive past.
Indeed I did. Thanks.
I think you meant Crush Bar at 1129A State St
I agree. The spirit is to keep things looking beautiful but sometimes, when it comes to safety, function has to win.
Classic HLC useless input.
Considering our Mayor is a restauranteur who has a consistent history of opposing new forms of outdoor dining, the malice is starting to seem obvious. From banning food trucks, to his constant war on state street promenade and parkets (even ones in private parking lots), he’s hell bent on restricting where we can eat outdoors and which restaurants can benefit from outdoor dining in this lovely city. It’s very very strange how obsessed he is with this, and how disconnected his position is with the public’s enjoyment of food trucks, the promenade, etc
I like them. They are beautiful and enhance any dining experience.
A part that would fan out from the stairs to the ground.
What is a staircase apron?
Hey, I was motivated by your walk through Old Town, and your mention of my history website :)
So I have found some info about the constable that used to hang out in the sushi house.

Here's a comment that Lab Social posted on Instagram when someone made a similar point to yours: "There was a city council meeting on 10/10 (which we attended) where the vote to extend the use of Parklets into the new year pending a city issued pre-application process (which now other Parklet owners have). We received notice our parklets would not be allowed to apply through the notice on our Parklet 12/18. Apparently there were subsequent city council meetings where guidelines were established. (We were not aware of these). No announcements or notices were given to us until 12/18. All we ask is for ample time."
The ERETO ordinance, which temporarily allowed parklets in certain locations, including CVR, was extended multiple times over 3 years. The termination date of 12/31/2023 had been in place for over a year. Council voted to extract State Streets parklets to their a standalone ordinance, and extended leaving the others to expire 12/31. Was not an overnight decision. Daisy also knew they had to move, bit the date was never set in advance
Ouch! You can make your point without castigating others.
I usually attribute City actions to either incompetence or ignorance, but after the Daisy got a notice over Thanksgiving and the Haley Street notices issued over Christmas it's starting to look malicious.
No excuse other than they are fun and people enjoy them. Are people really that worried that they might have to walk an extra block or two. Save outdoor dining!
They are all ugly and useless- want to eat outdoors? We have many, many outdoor venues
All the parklets look trashy it’s like we are in Lompoc or Oxnard and not Santa Barbara.
