Camarillo Promenade A Big Disappointment So Far!
On Thursday April 16, 2009 Camarillo celebrated the grand opening of its long anticipated Promenade. However, not all Camarillo or Ventura County residents welcome the expansion, and have some suggestions for stores that provide a better fit with the younger portion of Camarillo.
On an article previously written by yours truly about the Camarillo Promenade E.J comments:
Mana, it may seem nice for all the shoppaholics, but we definitely need much more for the family entertainment. How about a Dave and Busters! Our college age young people would love it and there is definitely nothing like it in Ventura Co. Kids, families and singles would sure make use of it.
How could this be promoted?

Another frustrated reader writes:
These new developments are so disappointing (so far). I was born and raised in Camarillo, but have since opted to move to Ventura about 2 years ago. Why? Because Ventura has fun things to do. There is nothing better than small, non-chain restaurants where you know the food quality is good. Camarillo and their lack of vision burns me up. All of this land and more retail space…what for? The outlet mall isn’t even that great…unless you live out of town because its a novelty. Why would we want to expand upon that with more nonsense stores! I’d like to see a Cheesecake Factory or PF Changs if we have to go the chain route. Like someone said earlier, a Dave and Busters would be ideal. In case the old folks running this city forgot, Camarillo has become a college town…even though you wouldn’t know it since all of the college students go to T.O or Ventura to have fun. How about keeping the revenue in Camarillo and create, even a small scene, for college kids to congregate and have a fun time at. Just my thoughts…
The city of Camarillo claims that the new Camarillo Promenade will provide 400 new jobs. What city officials have failed to see is that the same number of jobs could have been provided for employees of stores in the new Promenade that served the local residents rather than the visiting shoppers. When city officials proposed a promenade in Camarillo many residents were under the impression that Camarillo’s promenade will be some what similar to that of Westlake’s Promenade.
A large chain book store or a few restaurants would have served the families and students of California State University Channel Islands (CSUCI) better than an extension to Camarillo’s Outlet Mall.
With the Promenade adding another 28 stores to the existing Camarillo outlet, Camarillo now houses the largest outlet center in California. Why? That is the million dollar question…

It Snowed in Camarillo, California
Snow In Camarillo, California
At about 9:30pm last Thursday night my husband left the city of Camarillo (elevation; 165 above see level) for a Christmas adventure due north. The Camarillo Christmas Truck drove for 2 hours to Pine Mountain Summit (elevation; 5160 feet above see level) and was back in Camarillo with a bed full of snow by 2:00am.
Friday morning our children and their friends woke up to a white (almost) winter wonderland.
The joy and laughter was priceless. The snow fights ended without injury, but a life long memory was etched in everyone's mind and hearts.
I am married to one of the best fathers alive and thank God everyday for the blessings we enjoy, even if it is a truck full of snow.

Camarillo 2008 Christmas Truck
Say Hello To Camarillo's Christmas Truck

Christmas has always been the most splendid celebrated holiday in my family. My husband and I have not only embraced the holiday traditions we both grew up with, but have also created a few traditions of our own. My family’s celebration of the Christmas holidays involves more than just the members of our household. We love Christmas and especially the joy the holidays bring to children. Throughout the years we have come to a conclusion that no matter how rough life gets, there is no room for sadness during Christmas Celebration.
For the past four years, my husband has been decorating his baby-blue, 1968, Dodge truck with Christmas lights. Each year he adds or improves just a bit. This year, old-Betsy (the name our daughters gave the truck) has a light up Santa hood-ornament, low-power LED lights, and a musical Christmas snow globe. We really enjoy this simple, joyous means to celebrate the beauty of the Christmas holidays with others. We especially love to see the children’s reactions when they notice the Christmas Truck, the big eyes, smiles, and waves are adorable. Every year a group of us, which seems to be growing year after year, climb in the truck and spread the joy of the season by singing Christmas carols. Our Final Destination is the beautifully decorated Gemini Street in Camarillo, also known as Camarillo's Candy Cane lane.
So next time you see a baby-blue dodge truck all lit up like a Christmas tree don’t be shy, wave, honk, or even stop to say hello. Don’t be shy, Christmas is about loving each other and sharing the gift of love.
