Trip City Budapest

Hi I am planning on visiting ventura county since I will be going to school at Moorpark College soon. Is there anything around the Moorpark/Thousand Oaks/SemiValley area I should definately check out? Where do all the college students hang out? Also, I’m going to be looking for some nice areas to live…any siggestions? Also I have a dog so any dog parks or things for dogs to do? Any help would be great!

So Many Things To Do!

1. Plan a day discovering that rare find in one of the many antique and thrift shops on Main Street. Visit the galleries, perfumeries, jewelry, dress and bookshops that dot the alleys and main thoroughfares.
2. Book a ghost tour with Richard Senate, historian, author and resident expert on Ventura history. Senate knows all the scuttle about past and present witches, ghouls and goblins as well as those unsolved Ventura mysteries. Visit his website http://www.ghost-stalker.com.
3. For day hikes in Ventura County go to http://web.venturacountystar.com/hike.
4. For elegant self-indulgence and well being, go to the Spa at the renovated Ojai Valley Inn, (only 11 miles from downtown Ventura) where from Monday to Thursday, non-guests can use the spa facilities for $50/day. (This includes pools, sauna, steam room, Jacuzzi, exercise rooms, luxurious lounges with fireplaces, etc.) With any of the massage services, the spa is $20/day. Visit http://www.ojairesort.com/ or call 805-646-5511 for information and reservations. The golf course is available for $65 after 2:00 PM, $170 before.
5. Leave time to take in a play at the Rubicon Theatre at 1006 East Main Street. Enjoy a star-studded cast of professional actors and outstanding plays. http://www.rubicontheatre.org or check your local newspaper listing.
6. Don’t miss the Ventura County Museum of History & Art at 100 East Main Street (805-653-0323). Explore early Chumash culture, the vibrant Mission and Rancho era, the great rush of 19th century settlement and 20th century growth through their award-winning long-term exhibit, Ventura County in the New West. This small museum is filled with murals and replicas of furnishings, homes, businesses, and agricultural equipment from the 18th though 20th century. This is a great place to bring your kids.
7. Across from the Ventura County Museum is the Albinger Archaeological Museum, a fun museum that features the five major cultures that have found home in Ventura – Chumash, Spanish, Chinese, American and Mexican. You can also see artifacts dating back 3,500 years. Outside is the foundation of the “lost mission church,” an ancient earth oven and the oldest standing structure in Ventura County – the mission filtration building.
8. You will find the San Buenaventura Mission at 225 E. Main Street. One of the original California missions, it was founded in 1782 and completed in 1809; the present mission includes a restored church and a small museum which opens into a garden. The entrance is through the gift shop. This beautiful mission is the last built by Padre Junipero Serra, the force behind many of the missions here in California.
9. Off the beaten track, Ventura Harbor Village is a secret known to some savvy Angelenos and Venturians, yet still to be discovered by the rest of the world. Nestled in a marina next to the waterfront, the Village offers you hours of surprise shopping, restaurants, harbor cruises, music and comedy. Harbor Village features over 30 specialty shops and restaurants, comedy club, hoppin’ music on weekend afternoons, a 36-horse carousel, narrated harbor cruises; pedal boat, electric boat, and kayak rentals; sport fishing, dive shop and charters. The Village faces a marina filled with motor and sailboats, yachts and fishing vessels.
10. If your children – of any age – are getting tired of sight seeing, take them to the Carousel Marketplace (805-644-3234) in the Harbor Village where they will find pinball machines of all types, games galore, and a real merry-go-round.
The Marketplace also has a room to rent for birthday parties right next to the carousel.
11. Ventura Dive & Sport (805-650-6500) sells and rents diving equipment, sport clothing and accessories. They will be your center points for outfitting you and reserving the dive boats to Channel Islands that leave from the Harbor Village marina.
12. Pacific Sailing (805-658-6508) offers sailboat charters, harbor cruises, coastal excursions, sunset cruises and Channel Island trips on their 30-foot boats.
13. Go fishing off the Ventura Pier with other local fishermen; or take a long stroll, bike or roller blade on the paved bike trail along the waterfront and beaches that lead to the pier.
14. Visit Olivas Adobe, a wonderful example of Spanish architecture depicting how the wealthy and powerful lived. This adobe is over 150 years old and featured on the National Register of Historic Places. Look for “Cowboys, Heroes & Outlaws,” an event designed for the entire family to get to know more about American Cowboy Western heritage. There will be a children’s "cowboy college" and a Chumash Village. Go to http://www.ci.ventura.ca.us for more details.
15. Also don’t forget to check your local listings and the above website (#14) for the schedules for two annual events for everyone: the Ventura County Fair at Seaside Park (August) and the downtown ArtWalks (April, August, and Nove

I stole a lap top from an unlocked car in North Hollywood but I am admitting to the crime in Ventura County Court. What is my possible punishment for this? I have a clean record.

For the first offense, you’ll probably have to pay back the people you stole from, and have a few years probation. That’s if you get a judge who’s in a good mood.

I used to always shop at the wherehouse in simi valley but it has now closed. I sometimes get used dvds from hollywood video or EB games. Any other suggestions?

game stop, blockbuster

Dose anybody know how this system works. If the judge says you can, then why is it so hard to qualify? What do you do to be acceepted into to work furlough and not have to go to jail?

I live in Ventura county and know someone that had their own business and had to say that he worked for his mothers company. If you have a business license it shouldn’t be that hard unless you are going from one job to the next, they like to know where you are at all times.

Or the Ventura area but mostly ventura.

Thanks,
Somnath Guha

will i went to vegas back in april from the IE and i dont drive so i flown up non stop from ontario airport to vegas and i got a bus pass for the vegas area so i can go around the area. from ontario airport round trip non-stop it cost me about 150.00. but the early before your trip you buy the plane ticket the lower it might be. and if u would like a good low cost hotel while ur up there stay at hooters. the rooms are clean, the staff is friendly and the pool area is cool. i stayed at hooters when i wnent up in april and i am staying there again this week end when i am going up for a friends bachelor party.

The field is pretty weak with the current choices. Obama the Marxist, Hillary the Socialist or McCain the Fascist…. What about Governor Ventura? There is some speculation that he might be a late entry. What do you think?
No TS, that’s EXACTLY what I meant to label him as.

Only if he was running against Gumby…….No, I take that back. I would vote for Gumby.
