Civility, decorum, and debating the great issues of the day in r/SimiValley.

54 Upvotes

Apparently this needs to be said, so hopefully everybody reads it.

Different opinions are going to be expressed in this subreddit. Lately it's been politics, in a different month it might be development, traffic control, schools, etc. Whatever the topic, we don't want incivility, trolling, baiting, vote manipulation, hate speech, misinformation, intolerance, personal information, or witch-hunting in the comments, titles, or the body of posts. Maybe I left something out, but that's it off the top of my head. Expect bans of varying length - up to and including permanent - if engaging in any of the above. It's not something we want to do, but there it is. If you see name-calling, trolling, etc please report it and don't escalate the situation. Feel free to message the mods with any questions or concerns.

Thanks a bunch, and thanks for being here & participating in the subreddit.

* edit - adding "witch-hunting", "baiting", and modmail link.

Community Help - Caltrans 118 Requests

31 Upvotes

Hello all,
I wanted to share this resource for the benefit of our community.

Have an issue with the state of the 118 freeway running through Simi Valley?

See trash, weed overgrowth, etc?

The city of Simi Valley is not allowed to deploy our Public Works crew to the 118 for issues.
This also includes property along the on and off ramps to and from the freeway.

To submit a complaint form to resolve issues related to the 118 freeway,
Caltrans has a "Submit a Service Request" form that can be filled out here: https://csr.dot.ca.gov/

The issues usually get resolved in a few weeks based on my experience of submitting requests, but they are likely resolved based on the volume of complaints received.

Just wanted to share this resource as it is our duty as a community to ensure all aspects of our town are looked after.

Cheers, and have a nice day xx.

Thanksgiving Dinner

11 Upvotes

Can anyone recommend restaurants or stores where my family can order Thanksgiving meals to be picked up on the day? We’ll be celebrating in Simi, but we’ve only done this from places in NP/TO and don’t want the food to get cold. Thanks in advance.

ETA: It’s just 4 of us, so the “per person” type packages would be ideal.

We need answers about the Twin Lakes circuit improvements

Several articles came out in 2021 about how they were going to improve the PSPS situation and for a while outages were limited. Then a sudden regression and we're back to regular outages.

All the while SCE sends continuous warnings that they "may have to shut off your power." Do they know our power is out? What happened to the improvements?

Weed abatement before resurfacing

Post image
0 Upvotes

2 weeks before my whole block (block of houses between Lemon/Alamo/Sequoia/118) got asphalted this guy showed up and sprayed galllons and gallons of weed abatement purple liquid on all the cracks in the street and left. I am assuming resurfacing work is planned months in advance so there was no need for weed abatement treatment if the whole street was getting resurfaced. Now i learn they want to add more school bonds to property taxes because there is not enough money left to fix school buildings. Is the city admin just a circus now?

Did anyone get hired on the spot?

Ventura PD's Flock Cameras Were Used for ICE Searches, Then They Kept It From City Council. Here are the Receipts.

54 Upvotes

Crossposting for awareness. We need to keep pressing the city on our Flock contract, and ensure that SVPD isn’t playing games with accountability like the VPD seems to be doing. We are also a CARE city, and need to ensure the local PD aren’t working with ICE to harass and remove our neighbors behind everyone’s back.

Simi Valley movie theater from my childhood. Did it exist or is my memory bad? ~1989

27 Upvotes

I moved to Simi Valley as a very young child and I remember seeing my first movie in a movie theater somewhere in Simi. I am trying to remember the movie theater.
I remember the movie was one of the benji movies and ET was also playing there. It was a small theater with only 2 screens. This had to be 1988-1990.

Based on my recollection it was on Cochran and Galena where Red's BBQ is now. The place is now an ice cream shop and Poki stop.

Did this movie theater exist or am I getting mixed up with some other place from my childhood memory?

Best breweries around?

11 Upvotes

Visiting from out of town. I love to hit breweries in new cities. Any worth visiting? Will drive as well so it doesn't have to be just in simi. I visited Shadow Grave last time and enjoyed some of their beer.
