I couldn’t agree more. Not opposed to the space being utilized, but bummed by the lack of Carpinteria character. Just more of the same same same. Let the bachelorette parties descend!
So much better than the empty carcass that sits there now. The second store open area will draw lots of people. As a life long Carpinterian, it’s a welcome improvement.
the city approved that monstrosity? my god.
I’m so disappointed in the architecture choices here and the visual direction of so many projects in the works right now. Culver City ca. 2015. The project overall sounds fantastic, but why does it have to look so bad? Can’t we develop and adhere to a vernacular architecture that doesn’t make us look like a clone of everywhere else? Our area is so unique. Carp has a ton of charm. Let’s keep it that way.
No one announced anything. But someone must be feeling good about the deal going through, because the project has been submitted to the Carpinteria Planning Commission for its meeting on September 6, as per Coastal View News (https://www.coastalview.com/news/hotel-concept-for-the-palms-to-come-before-planning-commission/article_cea988ae-23f7-11ed-9009-df435a0faf6f.html).
They haven’t closed escrow and are still trying to come to an agreement with the seller.
The announcement is a bit premature.
The Green Dragon coffee shop! A favorite hangout of my high school years. Would love to see some kind of public business in that cool space again.
Agreed, Dan O. Also, traffic at that corner is already a nightmare; where are all these residents going to park? And where’s all the water going to come from?
On another note: I’m pretty sure that 22 W Mission did a short stint as a coffee shop in the 90’s.
Oh good grief, another 4-story 30 apartment building proposed?? I work across from the one at Ortega & Anacapa and every person I've met that lives there moved here from LA or points further. They are all nice people, I'm sure they are grateful these apartments were built.
Ha! That was a tough one! That’s the third one I’ve got on that block.
Between 12 & 14 E. Cota St. (Foxtail and Tropical Affair)
Afraid not....
El Paseo by Wine Cask?
No, but thanks for guessing!
The Courthouse
Owners are actually a charitable trust controlled by the Sperling family who must have lost interest in local once their children grew
All you need to do is pull up google maps. The location is no surprise lmao. The golf course has good security. Every home in town is worth millions. They won’t be targeted more than anyone else lol.
Everyone on here needs to chill. This home is looking beautiful and ecologically friendly too !
The cute oceanfront cottage on Edgewater Way had a price bump yesterday to $4.5M.
The second Instagram account is correct and displays the newly remodeled kitchen and upgraded patio area. https://www.instagram.com/dutchgardensb/
The Dutch Garden is in the unincorporated county not the city.
The Garden Street Academy was there, although I don't know for how long, and it appears to be the owner (via San Roque School Charitable Trust).
This is one reason why I moved from SB some years ago. Poor planning, and parking should always be included in any housing project. Remember there are people who rely on cars, those who are handicapped, etc. Shame on this city for their continued poor approval process.
Re: The former St Anthony's property, up for sale. Who currently owns the property? What has it been used for over the last ten years or so? Or has it been vacant except for some concerts in the (former?) chapel?
Congratulations to Ramon and Corazon Cocina! His food has always been delicious, innovative and wildly addictive. ❤️
You clearly don’ know how to use the word ‘no’. Possibly take an English course before posting to social media.
