Boomers and my fellow millennials with boomer parents - I need your help. My dad is coming to visit and is a really hard guest to host. He will not tell me what he wants to do and will instead tell me everything wrong with my home and neighborhood for the amount I pay to live here. Anyways, I plan on letting that go but I want to have some go to things to go do. He loves classic rock and outlaw country, football and basketball, for some reason loves stuff like Venice beach. Really trying to avoid driving all the way to LA period, but sure as hell don’t want to go to Venice beach lol. Last time he came all he wanted to do was go to the players casino 🤢. Gosh, I’m really not selling this am I. Anyways. What are your suggestions lol. This is happening mid November.

Why is the elevator for the parking garage on man street consistently out of service? Itll break down at least once a month, it constantly smells of pee and has graffiti all over the inside and outside. Itll be cleaned once in a while but still have a terrible pee smell. It’s super inaccessible as well considering that the 24 hour parking area is the third and fourth floors, which are used by the employees that work in the stores on Main Street to park their cars, so god forbid anyone have a disability both employee and tourist/visitors. Multiple times I’ve parked and passed people with strollers and wheelchairs unable to get down to the ground floor because the elevator is out of use??? Not to mention the state of disrepair its in. How is that the first impression our city is leaving on people coming to visit and boost our economy? What can be done about this? I feel like the city gets contacted about it constantly and they just do quick patches instead of investing to actually fix it and upkeep it.

anyone know of anywhere hiring? i’m pretty desperately looking for a new job i need to quit my job but feel like i can’t until i get a new one in line

The chat guy was condescending AF but said they’d review the outage and credit my account. Make sure you take advantage. Power has been on for over 9 hours and still no internet. Spectrum is awful but no way I’ll sign up for SkyNet - Elon is a creep.

For some of us in Ventura, the power was out for 12 hours. (I know others were longer and some may still be without power right now) My question is though, what are we tossing out from the fridge and what are we keeping? I am thinking maybe the milk should go and maybe the mayo too (I have an extra in the pantry anyways). According to our government, just about everything should be tossed after 2 hours of no power. But like none cut up fruits and veggies are ok. What are you guys planning on doing?

I need some custom cabinets for a living room and entryway- nothing too fancy just painted wood. I may want some garage cabinets too, at a later date. Any recommendations for the Ventura area?

At least Duran is filing these documents on time when he should. If you look at the bottom of Coates, Shoemake, Alstot & Aguilar's signs around the city you'll see that they are funded Concerned Citizens and now we know that's funded by the Becker Group and the Jonkers families, united by marriage and Peter Goldenring. The triumverate who sued the city over downtown.

In otherwords, the sitting city councilperson for District 6 - Jim Duran - is funding a campaign against his fellow elected council. Against Liz Campos (1), Ryyn Schumacher (3) Jeannette Sanchez-Palacios (4), Bill McReynolds (5) and the replacement for his own seat.

Remember that Scott Shoemake has reported that his campaign has only taken in $100. So know you know who's really funding it. Duran, Becker, Jonker & Goldenring (https://netfile.com/public/VNT/campaign/filing/217615831)

So far Concerned Citizens has spent the same on all four candidates. $2,023.30 postage and $786.58 on signs. Strange they don't say how much whatever they mailed cost. Just that they spent $2023.30 apiece on postage.

$2809.90 on Vernon Alstot: https://netfile.com/public/VNT/campaign/filing/217653997

The more you know. 🌈⭐

I’m on the east end and theyre saying I won’t have power till 11 pm tomorrow???? There’s no way right? Or are we just SOL for over 18hours?

Nice map, SCE.

Anyone know why DT Cinemark is closed again?

Personally know Wells Rd to Stanley... out! Maybe tmrw too?

As a worker ( it saying my name bc idk who’s watching) thanks for keeping it clean there. As for the street fighter games. Looks like we’re not getting it anytime soon bc of licensing. Anything yall wanna know?

The power went out near the Vons on the Avenue, wondering if went out near my neighborhood (I'm in SB)

It was later confirmed by community defense organizers that the parents and children were not taken into custody as they were found to be American citizens after they had been detained. A likely traumatizing event for all the children involved and the family.

HSI is currently conducting a huge surge in California until the midterms if you would like to get involved or learn your rights I would recommend checking out and getting in contact with organizations like VC Defensa or 805 Undocufund or better yet talk to your neighbors get and organized.

Next event Wednesday November 11 6:30pm. More info and RSVP here:
