You really outdid yourself on this walk/tour! Great, thoughtful captures of little details, design elements, and homes. Nicely done!
I agree! My husband and I went for dinner last week and it was an excellent experience in terms of food, drinks & service!
I hope so, loosing those trees will be absolutely devastating. Some of the Monterey Cypress trees are over 100 years old. I really hope all efforts are made to stop this.
One thing to consider about CCT is that the beach isn’t always passable. High tides, erosion, and seasonal changes can make walking on the sand impossible, so Padaro Lane serves as the practical Coastal Trail route when beach access is limited.
The farm stand is a real treasure, and that isn’t a driveway, but rather the top of Foothill Lane. It’s like a scene out of a movie every time the mail carriers drive down it.
Parma is also one of the best kept secrets in town
Haha I saw my parents house.
All these houses are on Google Street View.
Benches at cottage hospital on Pueblo / Oak park lane
Thank you for fixing the pinch to zoom! It was especially helpful in this article, particularly to see the animals in the garden.
Mason and State
The parked cars are people walking or cycling on Mountain or Gibraltar
The locked sign is unlocked to notify/display a red flag warning.
Hubby and I tried the newly refreshed Sandbar for dinner recently. I ordered fish tacos which were delish (albeit a bit skimpy on the grilled fish) and hubby ordered Achiote Beso Salmon -- crispy sweet corncake, tomatillo chipotle salsa, and serrano crema. That dish was THE highlight of the evening!
Great service, too. The staff really communicates & works well together. Kudos to the hiring manager.
Delicious skinny margaritas!
haha. Farmhouse look is ugly?? Have any of these people seen the rest of Calle Real? Looks like an Orange Co. strip mall. And now they're concerned for aesthetics??
I’m pretty sure you could make a plain piece of concrete the most entertaining thing I read all week.
Do you ask people if you can post pics of their houses? I have safety issues (stalker) with picture of my house being put online and I have had it taken off google, etc. Curious, because I would not ever want my house, mailbox, vehicle posted on a site like this.
I enjoy the site and the info, but curious. Please let me know.
Thanks
I recall when the WestMarine at the harbor was called The Chandelry. West Marine bought them along with so many along the California coast. Setting up a near monopoly, then offerings got corporatized.
I think the city of SB has physically changed state street at least 8 times since 2020 just pissing our dollars away. It's how California rolls.
Is that the recently repaired mosaic on the Cabrillo sidewalk (Syuxtun Story Circle)
I use to work at Far West Guns for a while until retiring. Miss helping the fine customers I had.
I saw the plans hot off the press in Carmel last year.The new building will be amazing !As a former resident of Montecito the Bottle Shop holds fond memories.The new plans will also create fond memories!..Deba
City: We need more housing.
Developer: Okay, here's a project that pencils and will provide 46 units.
City: I don't like it, spend more money making it look prettier from the outside.
Everyone else: I just want a clean apartment and reasonable rent....
I agree the fake wood sidewalks are ridiculous but I like them as a 'proof of concept' of sorts for whatever they're calling the latest plan for State Street. Raising the street so it's level with the sidewalks to create the promenade is the way to go. Eating in parklets and strolling the asphalt is ghetto. Not the image I imagine anyone doing business on State wants to project.
As a cocktail drinker who does not like beer or wine, there is no greater disappointment than when a restaurant advertise cocktails, only to get to the establish and find wine or sake and mixers masquerading. I sympathize with the costs and other hurdles (I can only imagine !) of obtaining a liquor license, but wish establishments would not pretend.
The zoom works on my mobile device. Thanks tech helpers!
