by Visit Ventura There is beauty — and more — in nothing. We all know this. But in a hectic — and these days, chaotic — world, nothing often slips by us unnoticed. We know in our hearts that this is a shame. But, happily, it is an easily remedied shame. For here in […]
For several weeks now we’ve been supporting local with “Feel Good Fridays,” a chance for all of us to get out and help our local businesses.

We all know this is not our conventional Fourth of July. Here in Ventura, COVID-19 has changed many things. Most important, it has made the safety of Ventura’s visitors and residents the number one priority.

Or, maybe you don’t like kids (it happens). Fine, plenty of room to move down grass and have space to yourself. […]
