Harbor Survey

Leadership of the Ventura Harbor may be in turmoil (B1), but business there is great. . . . The occupancy rate at Harbor Village is at an all-time high of about 97%.

No Slouch

The Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center is the eternal kid brother, forever compared to that giant Civic Arts Plaza in Thousand Oaks. Well, the little guy is doing OK. . . .

Compared to the Civic Arts Plaza . . . well, don’t.

Busy Honoree

Thousand Oaks City Manager Grant Brimhall, Superior Court Judge John J. Hunter and longtime Boy Scouts executive John Gessford are the only other honorees in local memory. . . .
