The Lakes ice rink is never coming back and it was a key memory
What time does trick or treating start in Thousand Oaks? I see stuff online for events and stuff like that, but just taking my kids in the neighborhood, is there an official start time for the city?
Does anyone know a really good area in T.O. ,N.P. , or Westlake?
I’ve been to Three Springs all my life and usually get about 1 1/2 kids bucket of candy with 2 big bars. I don’t really care about the big bars but I do want more candy. Anyone know any better spots than Three Springs?
Hi everyone! Anyone have any recommendations for the best neighborhood in Newbury Park for trick or treating?
Thanks!
The signs are on the sides of the off-ramp, barely noticeable but it’s there.
So please stop honking at the person in front of you, thanks.
For about 6 months now i've been wanting to get a bicycle... i've spent so much time watching videos and researching the model i want but now that i actually have the money for the bike i've chickened out big time. I drove to the Trek store today and sat outside in my car for 20 minutes convincing myself to go in but i ended up driving home. it's quite ridiculous of me lmao.
My biggest holdup is that i just don't have the balls to ride my bike on the road with other cars. And i don't think im allowed to ride on the sidewalks... nor do i even want to if it's frowned upon. there are many roads that don't have a bicycle lane with cars parked on the side so you pretty much have to be right in the road where the cars are going 45-50mph. N Moorpark Rd and Hodencamp Rd are nearby examples like this. And what do i do at a red light? I surely cant accelerate as fast as the cars behind me when the light turns green. I hate this idea. I don't want to drop all this money on a bike and never ride it because im such a big chicken.
Any cyclists here have advice for overcoming this fear?
If you recommend any easy routes i can consider i'd really appreciate it a lot...thank you~
We have tried LA fitness in Agoura Hills and Gold's Gym in Thousand Oaks
Wondering if there's a better, more quality gym in the area?
Relatively new to the area and enjoy making salmon and tuna sushi and sashimi at home. Anywhere in or near TO that you guys can recommend?
Hello neighbors, my girlfriend and I want to walk around a well-decorated neighborhood on Halloween to enjoy the effort people have put into their houses. Unfortunately, it just doesn’t seem like people are as enthusiastic about Halloween anymore, so the decorations have been near non-existent around my part of town. I haven’t seen anything extravagant when I’m passing through other neighborhoods either. So I was wondering if any of you have good decorations in your area and/or where I might find them. Thanks a lot! Stay safe and have a happy Halloween!
This arrived from Amazon yesterday and of course it's smaller than advertised
Hi! I just moved here and am looking to get extensions back in. Anyone know a good stylist?
Has anyone tested for radon (professionally, not retail test) when purchasing a new house or have an idea how prevalent rain is in this area?
I need some advice! I need to get to the Simi Valley Metrolink from Oak Park and I cannot find a cheap route at all. I have this apprenticeship in oak park and I love it. Today was my first day and I could not get back to my job in Granada Hills without paying for a very expensive Uber.
I’m a bit new to the transit in Ventura county as I live in The Valley.
Does anyone happen to know a quick and cheap way to get to the Metrolink? I would be shattered if I had to quit this apprenticeship. It’s really gonna set me up for the future. This is my first big break I’ve gotten in 2 years.
Even transit from surrounding cities to the Metrolink that won’t eat my wallet 🥲
If anyone has any ideas please please please share!!
Thank you!
Looking for somewhere to play pool besides Tipsy and Sunset.
Can anyone recommend a printer repair shop or individual? I work for a small nonprofit and our only color laserjet printer stopped working and we don't have a budget for a new one. Thanks in advance!
Unfortunately, I'm needing to find a hospice facility for my dad who has stage 4 cancer and in 80s so he doesn't want any treatment. He also needs a care facility. I don't live nearby but am here to help and make decisions as I'm the next of kin. Thousand Oaks Post Aucte looks like the best option as it's nearby so his very close friend's who don't drive can visit. But the rating on it isn't so good.
Does anyone have any expierence with it and is it okay? Or any recommendations for another facility in the area?
Edit to add: the main 2 choices that accept his insurance are Thousand Oaks and Camerillo and he needs a skilled nursing facility. Camerillo has a higher rating but it's far for my dad's friends to visit. And as they don't drive it will be expensive. I'd really like to send him to TO but am dealing with some backlash from family. He probably only has months if not weeks left.
An 11 year old boy, Andrew Su has gone missing from Thousand Oaks. Here is the link of his description from Ventura County Sheriff’s office https://evb.gg/n#6xqnndp2pvm/0f8XlTJE . It sounds like from what he was carrying that he was on his way to school. Does anyone know more on this? What school he goes to? My son is 11 and bikes to school so it’s possible someone we know could have seen something or know Andrew.
Hey everyone,
I’m from out of town, around 2,500 miles away give or take, and coming to the area on business in the next day. Was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for good bars to wind down at the end of the day for myself (and maybe colleagues if they actually decide to be a little social).
Demographic would be 30s-40s age range for most folks, area would be TO/Westlake Village. Not too many particulars apart from those, except perhaps a general friendly vibe in the event of needing to fly solo. Thanks!
There used to be a shuttle to go to LAX, and return. Now that previous service is gone. So what are the ways to get to and from LAX, if you do not have a car, or do not want to park near or at LAX? Is there a shuttle, Car Service, etc. that is recommended and most importantly. Reliable.
Also what are the costs for each service?
Hi everyone,
We‘re moving to Thousand Oaks with two daughters (5 and 9) from Denmark. We’ll likely only have one car, which I’ll be using to drive to work, so we need to figure out how my wife will transport our kids to school if we live near the city center. We’re used to riding bikes and a cargo bike to transport ourselves and our kids - is this doable in Thousand Oaks? Is there somewhere we can get a Cargo Bike? How are other families doing it with just one car?
Thanks!
Anyone take this bus to DTLA? Does it fill up in the morning at the Kanan stop at 545am or 6am or are there usually seats available? How about from DTLA at about 445pm at Temple? Thanks.
Preferably cornhole, shuffleboard, ping pong, or even pool and darts. Willing to drive a little if needed
Hey, just moved to the area from Chicago, where I didn't seem to have any problems filling my prescription.
I did my due diligence, had my records sent to a Dr here, had my visit and got my prescription for here. Aaaaaand... It seems like every pharmacy is out...
I'm on 30mg extended release. Anybody have suggestions?
