If you have driven by the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza lately, you know that Thousand Oaks Boulevard is a mess. The good news is that it seems to be an organized mess, and even though T.O. Boulevard reduces to one lane in either direction for part of the construction area, I did not experience a slowing or [...]

Black lions shoot water from their mouths at a fountain adjacent to Sharky’s, at the southwest corner of Thouand Oaks Boulevard and Westlake Boulevard. The water feature is just a mile or two away from where Jungleland Park used to be, where the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza sits now. Is it a coincidence that the [...]

Burlington’s Name on the Store Now

I hope the name above the entrance of the empty store at the Janns Mall in Thousand Oaks, means that the Burlington Coat Factory is making progress towards opening here. This is the location of the old Mervyn’s that I miss, and it would be good to have a store back in that space. Post and photo [...]

Here is the latest update photo (8-14) of the City of Thousand Oaks angled parking project, in front of The Lakes mall, on Thousand Oaks Boulevard. It was an interesting sight yesterday, because the water level in the pond on the left, is higher than the dirt level where the parking is going. As you can [...]

When I fly north out of either LAX or BUR, I look out my plane window for the State Water Project canal, bringing Sacramento Delta water to thirsty SoCal. I finally realized I could take a photo from the airplane, and here it is! The air intake for the jet is on the right, and the canal [...]
