I was with him this morning when we called for a city inspection for one of the clients , and the woman who attended us was rude, and discriminating my father over the phone. I wanted to grab the phone and tell the woman that her behavior was not appreciate yet my father said it was "okay". He was saying simple clear numbers , and she kept cutting him off saying " what , ugh , what I don't understand what you're saying. " Another thing my dad said " soil inspection " and she said "what ? for what " in such a rude manner. I don't understand why there's such rude , impatient , unprofessional individuals who supposably are there to work for the city and community don't have the slightest respect for the individuals of the community. My father did not grab her name or else I would've taken it further with a complaint.

If you ever start a new business, one of the 1st steps is to get a business license in the city…read moreyou're doing business in. In the city of Oxnard, they have one building and different lines for different purposes. First you start in a line for LICENSING. Then they send you to the other side of the room for PLANNING. Make sure to "check in" when you walk over to the PLANNING team or else you'll be waiting extra time for nothing. Once you sit with a rep in Planning for a very long time, then they send you back to LICENSING. This whole process is very slow and got me spinning in circles. Took 2 hours to file & get the planning division to approve my CHANGE OF ADDRESS!! OMG! Be patient and keep a cool attitude.

They do charge a lot of get rid of small amounts of garbage, it's a flat rate of $35 up until a certain amount. I wish there was like a $5 dollar option cause sometimes people just need to get rid of a few extra trash bags of garbage. I used to take some cardboard for free during the pandemic. You need to bring a hard hat, closed towed shoes, and I think an orange vest. I'm not sure if they are still allowing people to toss away cardboard but this is what I did about 2 years ago. Up until my neighborhood allowed cardboard to be picked up ever 1 week versus every 2 weeks.

It's a city with a lot of heart and so many parts…read more Lots of land for farming produce and even wine grapes. Like for Herzog Wine Cellars + Tierra Sur, their restaurant. The Rose of Rose Avenue is a huge shopping and life hub with a great Starbucks, Walmart, Sam's Club, Ross (Dress for Less), Dairy Queen, Chili's, Panda Express, Vons and even more. A lot of big brand favs in one area. Described as a seaside city of the coast, in Ventura County with homes on/off the water like Seabridge Marina and Westport Marina. Enjoy the Oxnard Shores as well as Oxnard State Beach Park. Visit the US Navy Seabee Museum, open Monday through Saturday from 10 AM to 4 PM (closed on Sundays). And just outside the perimeter fence for the Naval CBC Port Hueneme/Naval Base Ventura County/NBVC. Private flights and flying course are available at Oxnard Airport which once took commercial flights prior to 2011. Elevate your mind at Oxnard College, a junior college, off that infamous Rose Ave. The Oxnard School District provides jobs to nearly 4K. The city of Oxnard as an entirety has over 53K in students, grades K through 12 at 54 different campuses. While very spread out compared to some parts of SoCal like Los Angeles, the Inland Empire, Coachella Valley or even parts of San Diego Oxnard has a lot to offer. More so being between the city of Ventura as well as Camarillo. Under 40 miles from Santa Barbara, by car or train, traffic pending. And less than an hour from the start of L.A. County in heading in the direction of Leo Carillo or Westlake Village/Agoura Hills. The Cinemark Century Riverpark and XD is the big movie theater, though the Plaza Stadium Cinemas 14 seems popular as well - their website is down but it still list things as showing... I'm not Oxnard expert in the slightest, but having ventured here more than a handful of times in the last two decades I've seen it blossom a bit.

It's #ThankYouThursday and I am so thankful my family chose this city to settle in. I grew up with…read moresuch a diverse group of friends and have been able to enjoy foods from many cultures all my life. I don't just love the good eats but also the awesome views. Love the harbor, marina, awesome beaches and its people. All the festivals and events that are offered to the community. I love that I can write, call or message my councilmember and he will respond within hours. I have been given random acts of kindness multiple times by strangers at restaurants, coffee shops or simply by walking on the street. It's that type of love that makes me so thankful to be part of Oxnard and say it loud and proud. I have lived in Spain, SB, Washington D.C. but my heart is always in Oxnard. I am so happy with all the new things coming to town from the murals to the revamping of our harbor. Oxnard has a terrible reputation but its peoples resilience is what will continue to make it such a great place to live and thrive.
