Ventura: Channel Island Views and Laid-Back Shores 

Love Ventura. Such a gem. So happy my family is there and I get visit them all the time from LA. It truly is a treasure. I hope it doesn’t lose its small town vibe. It really is just a laid back beach community.

Ventura is a slice of paradise!

I was raised in Ventura, back when anything east of Mills Road was orchards and Pierpont was a separate town. Man the place is huge now :)

So great to see cars driving down Main St.

It's a good place to visit. Been here for 20+ yrs now. I travel around the country a lot for work and this has the best weather out most all the cities in the U.S.A. Don't for get to visit the vagabond for breakfast and the sunsets in the fall. 😎

My home town! I get back when I can... Truly a paradise.

Born and raised since 74👍

Loving Ventura since 2001.

I live in ventura ♡

NICE

Great city and area around there.

I have Family in SD LA "where I'm from" and Sf, Ventura has the most softest sand and most blessed Water 💧 in California. Super glad I have Family there too 😁. We Californios are super blessed.

Venture is a beautiful city ! I’m from Oxnard but Ventura is more beautiful !

Thanks. :D

grew up in Ventura and still live around here, this video makes it look like another world and i was in town two days ago.

My best friend, my big brother died 2016 in Ventura. And I miss him so much. He loves this part of Amerika very much.

It’s either Ventura or Oceanside where I plan to move once I’m finished with college

I miss back home in Ventura so bad!!! :( born and raised now i live in vegas with my kid and girlfriend!!

Here from 2002

Dear Lord. Let me help the good mayor out! One, Ventura WAS NOT founded by the Chumash and the Chumash did not originate or come from the Channel Islands. The Chumash were fishermen, not farmers, as mentioned in the Portola Expedition and earlier Spanish explorer diaries. The Chumash did have villages with various names that Catalan explorers Don Gaspar and Mallorcan Father Serra as well other peeps in the expeditions identified. The leaders of the Portola Expeditions and some of the Free Company of Catalonian Volunteers would also give their own names to the Chumash villages. Ventura was also established by the Catalan and Mallorcan freys as well Catalan soldiers. Most of the early missions were also designed by the Catalan engineer Miguel Costanso. Trust me. You'll get an "A" in your CA history classes if you actually take the time to read this stuff instead of listening to people who have no clue.

I been here

King lil G and Joey Badass performing lol

Ventura is close to Oxnard, right?

Yeah they are leasing out to Botanical Gardens so now we have to pay to go up behind the city hall :/

Ey I live here

They need to spends some money on infrastructure like streets and roads. Not just downtown.

Yo quiero visitar ese Ventura q enseñan aqui x q el ventura california q yo vivo esta horrible.

Not to be nit picky but 1:40 Franciscans are friars not monks.;-)

To bad it costs $10 to park at the beach or state park. It should be free. Downtown parking costs. How about making it tourist friendly. Like it used to be. I've been around here since 1960, she's not really telling it all. Hobo Jungle, Santa Clara River Camp, don't get me wrong this place is awesome, tell it all though. The Islands are Wonders of the world.

The Father Serra statue is gone now. Somebody decided he was too "racist". Maybe he was. Everything else seems to be these days. Anyway, he was canceled. Ventura is still a very lovely community. It maintains a small town feel. You'd never image over 100,000 people call it "home".

Homesick

Ventura is nice. Just don't go to the Avenue, it's ghetto.

She looks and acts like Nancy Pelosi's younger sister.
