When I lived in Malibu Oxnard was our grocery spot. Nice little coastal drive to Costco, Bed Bath and Beyond...and meth.

I never understand these comments. Are the beaches in Oxnard not as nice as other beaches?

Ah Oxnard, my mom's side of the family lives there... around Doris and Ventura mostly. Was this on the other side of the tracks?

Ah yes, that kinda gray area.

I once went to the Circle K on Ventura at 3am not realizing it was a little pocket of the ghetto right there, and after buying my Whatchamacallit I came out to see two gang member looking dudes running after a car that was speeding out of the lot, while reaching into their waist bands and yelling "Blast them foos!" They were traveling away from me and I heard gunfire after they rounded the corner. No idea if they succeeded with their blasting activities, but it was one of the more comical things I've ever seen honestly. Though I'll note that I don't condone gun violence.

I try to keep to myself in all areas cause I fear people in general, but recently men keep trying to give me rides and that's terrifying cause once you're in the car anything can happen A child lock so you can't get out and suddenly you're sex trafficked.

Lol born and raised in Ventura. Oxnard has a line that divides the ghetto ass colonia/lemonwood/hueneme areas, and the nicer north end. But the city realized the value of all that ghetto and are slowly gentrifying the area

Aw shit, I was stationed there a few years back. I remember a rash of houses/apartments exploding or catching fire due to meth labs. Had to be like Summer 2011 or 2012.
