The city council does not dictate what a property owner can or can’t do with their private property. Please let everyone know how the city council brought this project up? This person owns the building and is presenting ideas for the space. This has nothing to do with the city. It’s the business owners choice.
S/W corner Cañón Perdido & Chapala. Frontier bldg.
No, but thanks for guessing!
Is it the bike path at streetlight at Milpas & Cabrillo Blvd?
Just read that Oprah sold the house to Jennifer Aniston and cottages to Bob Greene, her friend and personal trainer.
Same! It is fabulous! Linda Vista !
Thank you for the update! Everyone in San Roque is so excited about teddys coming to this spot. We are huge fans of teddys in carpinteria and wondering if they are doing something similar to their other restaurant? Does anyone know when they will open and will it be the same menu? as their Carpinteria location?
I absolutely love this!
The Santa Barbara Garden Club is seeking donations to fund the development of the triangular park at Hot Springs and Olive Mill Roads. The county is not contributing.
Miramar needs a ficus hedge stat.
Very charming. Thank you for sharing!
Been walking by the fabulous 1920’s house on Lasuen for years and wondering why no one lived there. So happy to see it bought and hopefully restored.
Are these designs part of the "Make Carpinteria L.A." campaign? If so, great job.
These is a prime example of city council revenue hunting, and trying to grow up our little town for their own purposes. The people who have lived here for generations love Carpinteria for what it is, and the people moving here like it what it is—not this.
With all the new business park and development going on here, how do you think Carpinteria will handle it? There's already too much traffic, even more with all the weekend campers.
I'm sure you despise the word "conservative", but it's conservative principles that built and shaped this place, and that's why you like living here. But hey, if you like this kind of thing, just drive south towards Santa Monica, L.A., Camarillo, or north to Santa Barbara—live there instead, it's right up your alley.
These are fantastic! Thanks for turning us in to a new artist

Totally agree!
Why not cool tile work & ocean colors vs. this beige/charcoal anywhere USA vibe? Only so many California beach towns in the world. Think of the Greek islands & Mexico’s beaches & how the colors & design elements have become emblematic of their unique place & time. Certainly there’s no lack of local talent to bring forward something more creative that leans in to what makes Carpinteria such a gem of the coast.
It should probably be noted that 505 Mountain Drive seems to have put that fake vinyl wood down instead of restoring the real wood.
It will be interesting to see what happens when this game of musical chairs stops and you're left holding properties that sold for a fraction of what you just paid only say 12-18 months ago...
I have been here so long, I remember when the Hotel Virginia was a flop house.
LOVE the brick wall.
Wow, who is responsible for such a mediocre line up of restaurants/coffee house? With Corazon diluting his brand opening restaurants within miles if not blocks from another one of his establishments. Does anyone else think this is a terrible business decision?
His food is good and I wish him luck, but he should seek professional advice .
How can I get Ellen & Portia to adopt me???
Yes, that’s it! It is/was an interesting space for business. I think though that the parking would be a hindrance…? Do they have any dedicated parking, I can’t remember?
Funny about a week ago there was a picture of Ellen and Portia on Coast Village Road she was supposed to be downcast over the death of Anne but about two steps behind her was Robert Riskin her personal real estate guy. We knew that 848 had to be in play...
Carp needs a serious make over and this project is a breath of fresh air. Thanks to this developer!
