{"product_id":"greater-carpinteria-jim-campos-9781531646523","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 1531646522\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531646523\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing Library Editions\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 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d","brand":"Jim Campos","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43936742670591,"sku":"9781531646523","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_078a7b11-6955-48dd-8ab5-92b34e3222c6.jpg?v=1681426495","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/greater-carpinteria-jim-campos-9781531646523","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
