More landscaping and a better parking plan was what the Carmel City Council asked for last fall from a proposed JB Pastor mixed-use building on Dolores Street, the vision of Monaco developer Patrice Pastor, who named the building after his father. Over a year later, Pastor’s company, Esperanza Carmel, delivered on the landscaping and parking, as well as adding three affordable units.

Lookout tasted 11 pumpkin pies in Santa Cruz County. These two are the best.

Every fall, while Americans argue over the best way to cook turkey, the real star of Thanksgiving sits quietly on the dessert table, waiting to be smothered in whipped cream. For many, stuffing a wedge of pumpkin pie or three down your pie hole is an essential part of the third Thursday in November. More pumpkin pies than poultry are eaten during this culinary holiday — 50 million pies versus a mere 46 million turkeys.

On Saturday, head to Capitola Village for the Capitola Village Sip & Stroll ($55). On Sunday, downtown Santa Cruz hosts its fall Wine Walk ($45). Both events spotlight area wineries at local businesses. – Lily Belli.
