Who will be owning Old Town Coffee ? Hope it's someone from Old Town and just not a person who wants to profit from our original area name we call our neighborhood .
Another coffee shop??? Seriously??? There’s already like 10 coffee shops….. Sounds like a recipe for failure to me….. but what do I know…..
Finally, Carpinteria is one step closer to having an intersection with a pizza restaurant on each corner. Hopefully whoever bought the palms will sell pizza when they reopen and we can open a portal to the pizza-verse.
I can't wait until they open up a bakery called Bjettina
Jay was a great guy! And let's not forget Esau's restaurant when Tom Esau owned it Best food in town!
15 E Ortega St. The Press Room parklet.
When Harry and Megan moved to Montecito the internet revealed Hot Springs Trail was near their home. Since, the masses have invaded the trail and filled the area with unwanted cars and buses. A group of hikers took a cigarette break, throwing their cigarettes into a ravine - the fire department arrived shortly after. They told the fireman they drove up from Los Angeles. Last Saturday night we witnessed a group climb the trail fence at 10:00 pm. A couple of them were smoking cigarettes. I’m all for hiking but not when it threatens nature and our safety. On a lighter note, a few weeks back, a couple were sitting in folding chairs in the middle of a nearby street. Cars had to drive around them to get by. It was such a curious sight I had to ask them what they were doing - the fellow replied they were having a bowl of spaghetti before hitting the trail. His female companion added, “I hope Harry is here today”.
This could be EVERYWHERE in Santa Barbara!!
It's America?
Just here for the comments.
On the way to my pay my rent...
I always thought it was funny she marketed it as “The Santa Barbara House” when it really lacked in any SB-specific charm. It’s nice but could be anywhere. No SB flair to be found.
When the owners applied for permits they claimed they wanted live there and allow their in-laws from another country to live in the unit below. Now it’s up for Airbnb. Worst neighbor with overgrown hedges blocking numerous driveway line of site on both surrounding properties.
I read your article on TV Hill with interest as I worked at 800 Miramonte Drive back in the late 70’s - early 80’s when it was occupied by the Carrow’s restaurant main offices and Manchester Insurance (where I worked). Back then, our building & KEYT TV were the only buildings on the hill! I’ll have to drive up there on my next visit to SB!
Its America!
Yeah, except for the Tea Fire where a crowd of privileged/wealthy transfer students burned down half of Montecito w/nary a slap on the wrist.
I die a little inside every time I see rentable housing stock be converted to "short-term vacation rentals", knowing that so many working people are looking for housing in SB. And with so many proposed hotels being added to the mix, I question why?
Carp needs a resort like it needs more avocado trees and gossip lol
There are so many newcomers to SB that whenever they say "there goes the neighborhood," often that IS the neighborhood!
I’m a native Santa Barbarian. My dad had his own businesses when I was growing up. Local is better!!
That sounds great, like a fancy 7-11? I'm in.
Very excited for this - fills a gap in the neighborhood.
I agree with you 100%. Thank you!
Cute! Looking forward to it.
The US Bank branch at State / Carrillo is apparently closing so I suppose the Union Bank location will be used now.
