Carmel as an unicorporated area

Carmel is also the name of the unicorporated area west of carmel valley and east and south of Carmel-by-the-sea propper. For example, one who lives at rio road and hwy 1, has a city address of carmel, ca though is not within the city limits of carmel-by-the-sea.

Perhaps a designation should be made?

this comment really does not pertain to the present article. this article is about a specific incorporated entity called Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. if you have something to say about carmel valley or the unincorporated area by the barnyard shopping center, a better venue would be the monterey county page. Unless your information is earthshaking in scope, it really doesnt belong on this present page. also please sign your posts. Anlace 22:20, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

It seems you are referring to communities in the area like Carmel Highlands, California? It seems that the post office will only accept mail marked as "Carmel" in most of that zip code area for some reason. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 23:14, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

The recent improvements to the article are nice. However, there is still a slight bias towards depicting Carmel as a sort of a rosy tinted forgotten glade slash artist colony. Insisting on calling Carmel a "village" is one thing but saying that "residents enjoy walking to the centrally-located post office to receive their mail and meet their neighbors" is going a little overboard. I'm sure a lot of residents DO enjoy walking to the post office. But if we wanted to talk about "what people like" in Wikipedia articles, we could just as well say that "part time residents like to cruise Scenic in their Hummers". Whether the bias comes from a chip on a shoulder or straight from the chamber of commerce's playbook, it probably doesn't belong in the article unless it's verifiable. 12:39 UTC 12 March 2007 87.235.50.181 12:39, 12 March 2007 (UTC)Gabe

I agree and will attempt a fix.Smatprt 18:06, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Leon Panetta

I removed this text because Leon Panetta does not live in Carmel but rather at Villa Panetta about one mile before Carmel Valley Village, approximately 12 miles out Carmel Valley Road from the Carmel-by-the-Sea city limits. Mamoran 01:05, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
