I love living in Ventura. I moved here from Dallas in 2006 and have never looked back. I love standing on the beach and seeing snow on the tops of the mountains. I love my friendly neighbors and the fact that I don’t need air conditioning. I also love the fact that there are no mosquitos so you can just leave the doors open and smell the fresh air (at least when they’re not fertilizing the mushrooms).
When I moved here I didn’t know anyone and it was tough to get a handle on local things to do and places to go. So I decided to write this blog in the hopes that it will help some other new people (and maybe veterans) discover something new about our town. I hope you’ll comment on the posts and contribute ideas about your favorite things in Ventura so everyone can benefit from your experience too.
