Everyone is welcome to their own views but I do not want to support Trump or MAGA in any way. Besides emailing my senators with my concerns this is the only thing I can think of doing.

I’ll go first - Pizza Cookery in TO had MAGA holiday party flyers in December, I walked out and won’t go back

I moved here roughly 6 months ago and haven’t noticed a large EDM presence. Not that I expected it but just wondering if there any bass heads out here? Are there any bars that play edm? I mainly enjoy Dubstep, House, Techno and DNB. HMU 🤙 Would love to find some friends to wook out with. Camarillo located but frequent TO and Ventura.

My wife and I have been looking for a local business that sells Jelly Cat stuffed animals. We want to get a few for gifts but also want to support a local business. Any idea where we might find them?

Anyone here who’s job/work has and needs weekend workers?

Looking for a weekend job to get some extra cash. I already have a job weekday job so looking for one only for Saturday and Sunday or even just Saturday or Sunday.

Thanks.

This might be a long shot, but my roller derby team unfortunately is being pushed out of our current practice space in Camarillo. We are unable to hold practices at skating plus. Does anyone have any ideas or leads on schools, facilities, lots, basically any large flat surfaced area that is rentable 2 nights a week at a reasonable price for me and my team to practice at?

Any help is very much appreciated :)

Does anyone know how I can get in touch with a former owner/chef/cook at the now (and loooong since) closed Charn Thai restaurant that was in Camarillo? I used to order their beef Panang curry all the time before moving to Virginia in 2009. I’ve tried dozens of panang curries but none can remotely compete with Charn’s!!! I’ve literally thought about it for 16 years!!! Anyway, I’d love to get their recipe and/or tips so I can make it at home. I’ve already tried a couple different recipes but nothing comes close.

Are there any shooting ranges or places to practice in or near the area beside shooters paradise?

Pass on to anyone who may need it - https://wearemitu.com/wearemitu/news/consulapp-contigo-mexican-nationals/

does anybody have any a good/authentic store bought kimchi recommendations? i’ve been trying to get my hands on some but im not sure which ones are worth the purchase.

Apple Maps says closed as of yesterday morning, wondering if anyone had more updated info!

Hearing from several sources that ICE agents are poking their sorry-ass noses around in Ventura County, Looking for trouble... let's hope they find it!!

I got a speeding ticket for going 57 in a 40 during the first week of November. About 2 weeks after I was prescribed mood stabilizers for an undiagnosed mood disorder that I was unaware of having. I plead not guilty at the 1st hearing and have the court date on the 5th. Would I be able to get it dismissed because the mood disorder was undiagnosed and affecting my judgement at the time?

I have had my license for about 7 years now. This is my second speeding ticket. I got my first speeding ticket about 7 months before the second one in April 2024

What are the chances I can get it dismissed or atleast reduced to a no point? (Since I can’t do traffic school anymore because I did it for the first ticket from April)

Should I get an attorney??

I’ve always wanted to buy some organic eggs with a really orange/red yolk

My mom remembers her friends wearing double lightning bolt symbol, but she always thought they were double s's for Silver Strand. Was this a thing? Or were her friends wearing the nazi symbol? Anyone know anything about this?

Travelling here this week for business... Ventura and Oxnard/Camarillo/Mugu.

How is the air quality expected to be?

Hope you all stay well and safe.

Thank you!

It’s getting rough out here.

Just left Ojai and pulse point had a car fire showing. There's road closures, the BIG fire trucks (3 all together at least) tons of cops. Chemical smell in the air. What happened?

Hello, I’m having trouble with every pool being closed on Sundays. Working full time it’s really frustrating to miss a day of lap swimming that i consistently have off from work. If anyone knows of any open to lap swim on Sundays I’ll take suggestions

Hello Ventura County community:

I’ve been researching the Ventura School for Girls, focusing on its operations and the experiences of inmates and staff from the 1930s to the 1960s. During a recent visit to the California State Archives, I found records such as newspaper clippings, inmate logs, and photographs that reveal the harsh treatment many girls endured under state policies during that time.

I’ve done genealogy research in the past, specifically locating descendants of individuals who were sterilized while in state asylums such as Sonoma State Home and Pacific Colony. My goal is to learn more about the personal stories behind the girls sent to the Ventura School—how they ended up there, what they went through, and how it impacted their families.

I'd be grateful to speak with anyone who has personal connections, family stories, or knowledge of the school’s history. I understand these stories can be personal or difficult, so I want to approach them with respect and sensitivity. If you feel more comfortable talking privately, please feel free to send me a direct message.

Thank you for reading, and I appreciate any insights you might be willing to share.

🙏🏼

Update for additional context of some material I've come across:

I first came across stories about the Ventura School for Girls after trying to locate a forced sterilization victim from 1930. Though I did not find a record of her being institutionalized there, I did find other material and other names of girls who were sentenced for a range of charges (i.e., sexual delinquency).

There are some accessible public records such as the following

Residents of Ventura School for Girls stand around the shrine to Madonna they built, 1955.

Ventura School for Girls parolees leaving the school's grounds, 1955.

This is the site of the former state school now: Vista Del Mar Hospital.

Anyone here use a great bus rental company for a wedding? Looking to shuttle guests between hotel and venue and want a company that is reliable and not too overly priced!

Has the Hughes fire effected the air quality at all? I saw there was an advisory two days ago.

I'm going to be working in downtown Ventura all week next week, and I fancy hitting up some local spots during my lunch hour. Not looking for anything gourmet, just local places, good value and decent quality. Any and all cuisines accepted. Anything within a 5-10 minute drive of Telephone & Victoria. Thanks everyone!

They want to triple the number of yearly launches. Say no!
