Stand Up Paddle Boarding – The Carlsbad Stand Up Paddle Board Club
For those preferring a calmer way to get around on the water instead of surfing, stand up paddle boarding may be just your thing.
It’s supposedly pretty easy to do, relaxing and good exercise. And all you need is a board, a paddle and you’re ready.
Stand-up paddle boarding has become very popular in our area, on the ocean and on the Aqua Hedionda Lagoon where it’s allowed (the 2 other Carlsbad lagoons do not allow any sort of boating, swimming, etc.). It seems … (5 comments)

Carlsbad Village by the Sea – A Community Profile and Tour (slideshows and videos) Carlsbad Village by the Sea.
What an appropriate name for a charming seaside town about 35 miles north of San Diego and 2 hours south of Los Angeles in Southern California. The California desert cities are a little over 2 hours away to the east and mountains for skiing not much farther.
Carlsbad is far from being a quiet coastal community, despite the relaxed atmosphere that is readily apparent. Indeed, visitors, and residents, are often surprised at how much there really is to do and see … (10 comments)

carlsbad businesses: Lowe’s is Coming To Carlsbad - 08/27/11 05:47 PM
Lowe’s is coming to Carlsbad.
At least at this time that seems to be the case since the development company has secured the financing to develop the property known as Palomar Airport Commons in Carlsbad, with the plans to include other stores on the site.
The site, formerly the Olympic Resort Hotel and Spa, has been vacant for some time and rather an eyesore. Access to Lowe’s and Palomar Airport Common will be good given the location, off 2 major roads – Palomar Airport Road and directly off of El Camino Real. Palomar Airport Commons will supposedly also offer … (11 comments)

Le Passage French Bistro in Carlsbad Village Le Passage French Bistro is a charming Carlsbad restaurant in the heart of downtown Carlsbad Village that will make you think you are dining in Paris.
A combination of great food, including a menu of French classics like duck and coq au vin, ambiance, a very good wine list, and charming décor make this a must dine type of place. We had a fine dinner the other night with a good friend, enjoying the back patio on a most pleasant summer evening.

Owner Leone D'Arcangelo hails from Sperlonga, Italy, a beachfront town midway between Naples and Rome, and one can easily imagine you are dining by the Mediterranean Sea in Sperlonga instead of in Carlsbad, CA, with the beautiful hand-painted murals that adorn the dining rooms.

A Visit to the Ivanffy-Uhler Gallery, and a Tribute
I have gotten to know the Ivanffy-Uhler Galleryin Carlsbad, CA fairly well, and its owners, especially Paul Uhler. This is a recap of our visit last Thursday for the opening reception for Susan Weller, whose art we have admired, but a tribute to Paul Uhler. More on that in a mo.
Susan Weller's art strikes a chord with me. I have a hard time articulating exactly why, but it does. For me, that's OK. There's the color, the emotion, the connection to the past that grabs me...sometimes art does that. There … (6 comments)

They are paying for a rental (normal for longer servicing) but what was really intriguing and progressive was they are using Greenleaf Rent A Car in Carlsbad for their customers.
Greenleaf Rent A Car is the first of its kind in the industry - I believe. The focus is on being as green as possible in the car rental industry. It's an admirable undertaking … (11 comments)

carlsbad businesses: Organic Gardening with Instant Organic Garden | Build One at Your Carlsbad Home | Carlsbad CA - 07/15/10 11:34 AM
Organic Gardening with Instant Organic Garden in San Diego
We had an Instant Organic Garden built at our Carlsbad home recently. As big fans of fresh produce, we enjoy growing some fresh vegetables, especially tomatoes and squash, but admittedly we are not all that great at it. Things don't grow the way they should or we want, and there are garden pests that thwart our farming efforts.
Raised bed gardens are a terrific way to grow vegetables in a small space and with minimal preparation. And with all the chemicals and pesticides out there, knowing how to grow an organic … (11 comments)

A Visit to the Carlsbad Farmers Market in Carlsbad Village The Carlsbad Farmers Market in Carlsbad Village is a terrific place to visit for fresh produce, flowers and food.
We stopped in today to buy much of what we needed for the small dinner party we are having tonight, and we were not disappointed with the selection - getting there when they first open works best.
The Carlsbad Farmers Market is smaller than some other towns but offers a pretty good selection from local growers, along with other vendors - honey, seafood, fudge, tamales, and more.
One advantage is that they are … (26 comments)

Looking for Chocolates in Carlsbad? Carlsbad Chocolate Bar in Carlsbad Village
As a self-proclaimed chocoholic, it's pretty easy for me to zone in on anything chocolate. I can't say I've met a chocolate I didn't like.
And an entire store dedicated to chocolate is pure heaven.
And so the Carlsbad Chocolate Bar goes on the list as a fave place to visit in Carlsbad Village.
I love the play on words, being a fan of chocolate bars AND "bars" that cater to chocolate lovers.
And their tag line is great..."bringing chocolate to Carlsbad, one piece at … (13 comments)
