Monterey has stopped allowing cruise ships to stop there, so if a line wants an itinerary with a stop between L.A. and San Francisco, we're it's only choice.
"The cruise lines need us more than we need them." Just curious what you are basing this comment on.
Common sense says relying on the comically UNSURE & never stable Middle Eastern sources, especially at THIS TIME, is laughably unwise. Thanks for the laugh
Offshore drilling so close to the mainland is unnecessary and unwise. Closing much of Alaska is equally unwise. There is plenty of crude to be had in places that so not pose such an extreme environmental risk. Let common sense prevail.
The loss of Linden Hall is SO disappointing.
Carp is small, and we should be TRYING to get new businesses and cool ideas into our empty spaces. The council needs to stop dragging their feet and putting up red tape, and start bringing life back into our closed and shuttered spaces. Red tape is strangling Carp and soon Linden will be empty like State St.
HA! Did you purposely post the "bad oil people trying to re-up" on top of "Goleta out of money gonna take gas tax money for car infrastructure" - you are hilarious! DRILL BABY DRILL! Lets contribute to National Security, local jobs and bring oil back- THAT IS THE MESSAGE!
Well, I will have a drink on the Biltmore patio and toast to its long storied history. Hope they haven’t done too much changing of the interior.
The city is to blame. They make Everything 100 times more complicated than it needs to be. There needs to be an overhaul of city employees in carpinteria. Should only allow people with business experience to serve. I don’t think Nick has worked in a regular job that is not for the city . Ever!!
Carp local out!
Bettina’s potato pizza, Corazon’s Norteno and Tijuana tacos, empty Bowl’s wings and Thai beef salad, superica’s number 16, Los Agaves sea and earth Mocajete, Arigato soft shell crab salad and mushroom truffle sushi roll-some of my fave things in SB.
Hey Erik! Have you tried Riviera Bread yet? It's...unreal.
totally agree
Thank you for keeping us posted
I love this post! Thanks. Oat Bakery, Bettina, Corazon. Yum!
Could not agree more about your recommendations! Superb choices, Erik!
And yes, I am all for keeping the one or two popular staples of a restaurant, but please mix up the menu more, for us, we will frequent your restaurant more if you do.
Linden Hall. No shortage of blame on both sides.
"Purported" Ha! That's funnier than anything that's come out of her mouth.......
“Purportedly” is right. Saw her show in Chicago last May and we walked out
"As I recall, the property was left to the city of Santa Barbara, with the stipulation that it would be developed as a site for a regular visitors."
You are mistaken. The property was left to the Bellosoguardo Foundation, a non-profit. The property is still private property just like any property owned by a nonprofit. It is not owned by the City of Santa Barbara, nor is it public property in any way.
Lotusland allows "regular visits to the property for the general public," and it costs $50 per adult and is not ADA compliant because it is a historic estate. I expect a similar situation for this estate too.
We get our coffee at Handlebars and always sit across the street at the presidio. I missed that pic earlier in the week-know right where that is.
Grey Malin must be doing well. Also I assume it will be a vacation rental not year long rental for a family…
Handler at the bowl is a miss
Congratulations Carpinteria on the prospective arrival of a first class restaurant and brewery! As for Hayley and several other disgruntled commenters here, lighten up people. It's gonna be great and you'll find yourself there before too long enjoying a tasty burger and cool beer. Many thanks to Kristopher Parker and company for continuing their family's tradition of doing business here in Santa Barbara County.
Good luck with City Council members. I have sent and resent an email about an urgent and potentially dangerous matter 3 times and have received no reply from the office of Kristen Sneddon. Oh and their voice mail box is full. Just for the record I supported her candidacy during her campaign. Maybe we need to be instructed how to get through to our politicians that run this city. Everyone seems to have built an E`Wall around themselves.
Who’s gonna buy the Prince Harry’s Garden Sandwich?!… poor form if they want locals to eat from this menu.
I agree with every one of your points! Water filters. Better coffee shop availability. That mural memorizes the worst of our history: let’s celebrate our progress, not our corrupt roots. Parking cost I’d exorbitant too. Let’s reduce that and stop penalizing the people.
As a subcontractor for the Heavin/Weinman creation, I felt so fortunate to see the project in process. It's otherworldly.
