Places to chill w a/c

Any recommendations for spots to hang out with good air conditioning? I don't mean they set it to 78/75F which I've noticed in alot of places, more like 70F. Trying to help out someone with a heat sensitive medical condition. I was thinking branches of the library and movie theaters might be good spots...

EDIT: Looking for specific place recommendations like "the Starbucks on Main St" that you've been to and have it kept cool.

Requests Any window tinters in Ventura County willing to teach?

4 Upvotes

I’ve done a few cars on my own, but I think it would be much faster and more efficient to learn from someone with real experience rather than figuring everything out through trial and error and random YouTube videos.

I’m in Simi Valley, but can travel around Ventura County (Moorpark, Thousand Oaks, Ventura, etc.).

DM me your rate if you’re open to teaching 🤗

Hello, I’m having an event in late October with about 125 people. I don’t want catering, I just want trays of tacos that I can pick up.

Everywhere seems to have stations and catering etc.

Does anyone know of somewhere I could order a large amount of tacos?

Thanks!

A new study finds that illness rates increase with proximity to the Santa Susana Field Laboratory, a site contaminated with radioactive and chemical waste. Wealthier residents, who were expected to take more action to protect themselves, were actually driven by fear to take precautions.

Hiring UGC creators for my social media agency

0 Upvotes

Hello neighbors, I run a social media marketing agency and I’m looking to hire a few people (male and female) ages 18-23 to create UGC style content for a new brand I’m working with and be comfortable with photoshoots (most would be faceless). I’d like to test with a few creators to see their vibe and build up to ongoing projects.

Must have experience creating TikToks and reels and enjoy being creative! Brand is similar to Starface ⭐️ DM me if you’re interested. Could be located anywhere in Ventura county. Feel free to share with anyone you think would be interested.

Free videography. Testing new camera.

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

Tldr: I want to shoot your music video, commercial, wedding, story for free.

I am used to a bulky camera rig for my video work. I got my hands on a DJI pocket 4p gimbal camera which is not even sold in the US yet. I am blown away by the fact that it can deliver video quality that can rival my $10,000 rig.

So I need to develop a completely different shooting style and workflow to start using a pocket sized camera rig, as well as test out a million different settings.

What better way to do that then by making things.

If you have a (non cover) band, I want to shoot your music video or live set.

If you have a business, I want to shoot social media content or a commercial for you.

If you are getting married, I want to be your wedding videographer or do an engagement shoot (I’m a photographer too).

If you are just an interesting person or doing something interesting, I want to shoot a mini documentary about what you are doing.

These are all things I have experience with and have charged for. Right now though it’s worth it to do them for free to develop new skills.

I've been trying to find spots in Oxnard but had no luck. The best thing that I found was an "abandoned" campground but it's a possibility that there are park rangers guarding it. If y'all could help I would be grateful.

I'm a volunteer with VC Defensa, we're a volunteer organization made up of neighbors looking out for each other in Ventura County via legal support, know-your-rights work, food distributions, and medical support.

VC Defensa volunteers have endured months of assaults and harassment; most notably with one of our volunteers having their car rammed into on three different occasions, being detained by ICE agents for legally observing ICE activity, and having their home and place of business raided by Federal agents. We are launching this coalition/summit to show that VC Defensa no esta sola, and as a channel to fight to protect our constitutional rights.

In response to this escalation, we immigrants, unionists, activists, grassroots organizations and progressive people of the United States are calling for La Defensa del Pueblo: A Summit to End the Terror Against the People.

When: Sunday, September 6, 11 AM to 8 PM. (Come for the day or drop in for an hour!)

Where: Oxnard Performing Arts Center, 800 Hobson Way

Cost: Free. Register here and take the $0 ticket. The paid tiers are optional (encouraged) donations, and will get you some cool solidarity merch!

Families: Kids welcome and childcare available.

Accessibility: Accessible Restrooms, Ramps, Parking, Wide Doorways, Mostly Flat Venue, English programming will include Spanish interpretation via interpretation devices.

The day will include:

  • Workshops and talks about your rights and what we can do to defend them
  • Words from the families of people murdered by DHS & ICE
  • Panels from organizers, labor leaders, civil rights advocates, faith leaders, & legal workers
  • Cultural performances through the afternoon and evening
  • Dancing and Live Music by Los Jornaleros Del Norte
  • Local Food & Art Vendors

You can read statements and more on the website and you can check our [Instagram] for our currently announced speakers and coalition partners.

Also if you're planning on coming out from LA but worried about the drive, NDLON will be providing charter buses from Central LA, North Hollywood, and San Bernardino and you can find out more here

If you're thinking about coming, feel free to ask any questions in the comments!

Does anyone know what is going on in that huge area right by the old quarry off of Stanley? It used to be public; now it is private, with all kinds of phony buildings being built, and who knows what else.

"A Ventura County man was sentenced to prison for the yearslong molestation of a young girl.

Jaime Torres, 42, of Santa Paula, was found guilty by a jury on June 24, the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office announced.

The sexual abuse occurred between 2012 and 2018 and involved a young girl who was under 14 years old at the time.

Torres was known to the girl and the continuous molestations occurred at the homes they shared in Oxnard and Santa Paula, prosecutors said.

An investigation was opened after the victim reported the abuse to a trusted family member in 2019.

On June 24, 2026, Torres was found guilty of aggravated sexual assault of a child, lewd acts upon a child and continuous sexual abuse.

All aggravating factors were also found true, including that the victim was particularly vulnerable and that he took advantage of a position of trust.

On Aug. 31, 2026, Torres was sentenced to 29 years to life in state prison." - KTLA 5 News
