{"product_id":"greater-carpinteria-jim-campos-9780738570983","title":"Greater Carpinteria:: Summerland and La Conchita","description":"Carpinteria once featured a racetrack at one end of town and a gargantuan statue of Santa Claus at the other--\"anchor\" operations highlighting this unique southern corner of coastal Santa Barbara County. A few miles south, in the northern corner of Ventura County, nestles La Conchita, where an early seaside stagecoach route and a famous banana plantation helped shape the local flavor. The historical characteristics of Summerland, on the coast north of \"Carp,\" as Carpinteria is known, have included a J. Paul Getty oil operation and youth baseball played on fields lighted by piped-in natural gas. The three distinct communities of Greater Carpinteria are tied together by both the spectacular coastal landscapes-- beautiful beaches and majestic mountain ranges--as well as the area's intrinsically linked schools and businesses. It is an eclectic paradise between Ventura and Santa Barbara that draws a million visitors a year.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jim Campos, Bonnie Kelm, Dave Moore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0738570982\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738570983\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/26\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.31h x 6.53w x 0.36d","brand":"Jim Campos","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925802156287,"sku":"9780738570983","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_7c7fd431-d328-4670-85e5-6fd5788c1fcd.jpg?v=1681079445","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/greater-carpinteria-jim-campos-9780738570983","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
