I purchased a property in Ventura County over 2 years ago and have some very confusing things happening with property tax increases that are over WAY higher than what I have been paying for the past couple years.

I am on the hunt for a super sharp property tax consultant that can help me sort through things as I prepare to meet with the county tax collector.

Please let me know if you have any recommendations or insights as to why.

Anyone know if Stuart Finch is still around? He made rock sculptures at c street. Seemed like a cool guy. Anyone have any stories?

Thought I’d see if anyone here can answer something my son and I puzzle over. When you’re on Harbor Blvd between Ventura and Oxnard, there are tall towers in the dunes and they have what appears to be a belt that raises and lowers. We only catch glimpses as we pass by. Do you know what they are?

Yesterday I was taking my dog for a walk, and in the middle of his walk he started sneezing rapidly with a chewing motion and the mouth pulling back to only one side of his face. I looked online and found a video of a dog with the same exact type of sneezing, and all the comments say it looks like an inhaled foxtail. I looked at his nostrils with a flashlight and I couldn’t find anything in there, but his left nostril is red and inflamed. The comments said it’s rare for a dog to sneeze out a foxtail. My dog stopped the sneezing after his walk and hasn’t sneezed since.

Even though he stopped sneezing I still took him to an emergency vet last night, VMSG, and they told me they don’t have the right tools to get out anything that’s deep in his nostril, and that I’ll need to find a clinic with an internal medicine vet, but it’ll be hard since it’s a holiday weekend, and that I might have to wait until Monday. The vet said I should just monitor him and he’ll probably be fine since he’s not sneezing or bleeding from his nostrils. It’s been 18 hours and he hasn’t sneezed at all.

I’ve read horror stories of foxtails going into the lungs/brain. So I’d really prefer having peace of mind on this. I want to take him to a place with great reviews. Some emergency vets have some terrifying reviews of pets dying or receiving bad care. And I know pet sedation can be dangerous so I’d want to have him get it at a good place. Today I called Conejo Valley Veterninary Hospital, which has great reviews and an urgent care clinic, but unfortunately they told me they can’t do an endoscopy.

So I looked on Reddit for recommendations and the top recommendation is Ohana Pet Hospital, with comments saying all the doctors are good there. But they don’t open until Monday. I think I will wait to take him there tomorrow since it’s such a highly recommended place. But will they have the right tools and an internal medicine vet to help my dog?

I would really appreciate anyone’s advice on this.

The Vons off of telegraph Road and Victoria ave is my regular local grocery store and I always hear someone screaming and yelling in the parking lot. Anyone else hear this person or know who this is and what’s going on, he’s been doing it for months.

I am seeking a good and reasonable priced painter to repaint the interior of my home. Also I need someone for the baseboard job. If anyone has any recommendations. I would greatly your input.

Are you all drinking the tap water out there? If not, why? Is there something wrong with it?

Hi I live near downtown and will any bars be open for college football at 9 am? Ohio state is my Alma mater and they play Michigan

Quick question, why is it so common for people to literally drive side by side with an open road in front of them on the 126? Outside of rush hour traffic and accidents most traffic is created by a semi or other vehicle sitting in the left lane blocking anyone else from passing. Extremely frustrating experience and then they will get butthurt when you do pass them at 72 since theyre holding at 55 with the semi right next to them.

I would rather drive the 405 daily because then at least it makes sense for there to be traffic with hundreds of thousands of people driving

Just saw on insta. link

I guess we know how he knows about crime.

I saw this right now and wanted to post it here in case anyone knew anything. So sad that someone has to mourn their family member on Thanksgiving.

Need your recommendations for tamales, please. Willing to travel but hopefully not too far.

Any fire-spinning groups/people in the area?

Happy Thanksgiving to all living in one of the best spots in CA! Let’s all keep it happy by not driving after getting shit hammered tonight. TIA!

Planning on signing up for one of these schools and they both are very much what we'd like, with pros and cons on each, but no clear winner.

Anyone can chime in their experience (good and bad) to help tilt the scales?

I am being a bit nostalgic at the moment and I am remembering the times that I, at 17 and 18, and my friends, many of who were younger than me, would go to 66 California on weekend nights and eat shrimp and calamari and listen to jazz bands. This was in the early 90s. Thinking back on this, I am sure that the staff hated us because we were a bunch of annoying teenagers in a place that we should not have been, but I loved it. I don't know if my friends loved it, but I sure did. I miss that place.

Hello all,

Three knives that I purchased were lost over the past couple of years and I figured I would make a post to see if I could recover any of them. All of these were lost in the Santa Barbara and Ventura counties of Southern California.

In 2021, a Viper Knives Voxnaes Koi was lost at the Starbucks located on Telegraph Rd in Ventura, CA. I looked for it for about two months obsessively before giving up.

Discontinued M390 Koi

In 2023, a Kramer Custom Knives Dig was lost on the east end of Ventura, again close to Telegraph Rd. This is the main knife I am trying to recover. I asked a lot of local businesses if it turned up in their lost and found to no avail.

Discontinued KCK Dig

In 2023, a Zero Tolerance 0460ti was lost in Buellton/Solvang area, after I had recently purchased it at full price from Solvang Knives. After this happened, my spirit was crushed.

Discontinued 0460ti

I know that this is a longshot. but I have been unable to find any of them since. I recently went to re purchase the knives and discovered that all three had been discontinued.

Each time one was lost, I would immediately retrace the steps of the person who was carrying them and would find nothing. I really appreciate your help, as I have continued to try and search for them this entire time.

Thank you

Need replacement for the passenger power window of my car that got shattered in a break in. Looking for a well priced shop who won't gouge. I also have the replacement glass available. Any recommendations?

Looking for some great Pho suggestions around 🙏 ventura county. Thanks

What are your favorite spots (Ventura to Camarillo) to pull up and park for a nice view? Serra Cross Grant Park seems to be the best.

Pulled over by cops and seated on the curb off their bikes on Harbor before Spinnaker in front of Holiday Inn Express. Multiple private vehicles rolling up on the cops not helping the tenseness of the situation.

Probably parents looking out for their kids and cops having renewed concerns after Friday night in LA everyone needs to slow their roll, parents, kids and drivers. No one wants to see that repeated. Road rage and risky behavior needs to addressed from both sides. We shouldn’t put officers in the middle.

Hi there! My name is Willem T, and I’m looking to move at the beginning of June 2025. I’m 22 years old and planning to move to Venture for a new job and am searching for a roommate around my age. Let me know if your interested
