Camarillo

West side parking lot of Camarillo Town Center was re-sealed today.
The City of Camarillo is maintaining many parking lots and streets. It seemed obvious to me that they are trying to finish everything before Camarillo Fiesta.

Service was provide by GPM (General Pavement Management) from Santa Paula.
They are high class, top notch pavement company in tricounty area.
I think they did a good job. They were nice people as well.

Cup given to city of Camarillo volunteers.

This is Camarillo's first fire station. This is Camarillo's landmark and one of handful of remaining Camarillo history. It's currently vacant and located between Diszar Park and St. Mary Magdalen Church.

This is our new and improved fire station at 2160 PIckwick Drive. Next to post office. It was built in 1995.

While I was taking pictures, they happened to be responding to a fire call.

Before - Photo dated November 3, 1961. 
Ventura Boulevard (Old Conejo Road) was a part of U.S. Highway 101.  New freeway was constructed in the 50's.

After: June 26, 2006

Post Plaza is located across Camarillo Post Office on Pickwick.  The major vendors such as Blockbuster Video, Party Pleasers,  and Enterprise Rent-a-car are located here.  Oh, and my favorite store "Pop's" is here as well.

This water tower is visible from most parts of Camarillo. 
Look close at the top of the tower, you can see a lot of equipment up there.
At night, it blinks red light to warn airplanes because this tower is located right on the airplane route.  The funny thing is that this tower is painted in sky-blue paint.  This reminds me of typical cartoon clips.  Birds and airplanes can fly into this tower because it's camouflaged.

During the Christmas season, they put on the lights on the top of the tower Click Here for pictures of the tower with Christmas lights.

Day and night shots of the sign.
Las Posas Plaza is located at 101 Freeway & Las Posas.
Photographed on March 26, 2006 during the rainy season.

From this creek, you can see 101 Freeway going over "The Grade" to Thousand Oaks.
When I was there to take pictures, I wasn't sure I was allowed to be there.

RadioShack at Camarillo Town Center is closing.
The entire store was on sale.
Of course, they have already stashed the good stuff away.
I couldn't find any spectacular savings.

There is another Radio Shack at Camarillo, on Arneill Road close to K-Mart.

Day 1: Monday May 8, 2006

This ever-famous clock at Old Town Camarillo had not been working for several months. The factory people were supposed to come fix the clock. I think they are finally working on it. I saw this development Monday morning around 8:30am

Day 2: Tuesday May 9, 2006

They put a little fence around the clock.  On lunch time, I saw two guys working on the clock with the big glasses off. When I came back with the camera (50 minutes later) those two men were on the ground. (I missed a good shot). What I noticed, was that the clock was about 20 minutes faster. I don't think this job is done.

Day 3: Wednesday May 10, 2006

They fixed the time. Now it's running about 2-3 minutes behind, which is pretty close. But, I hope they would adjust the time even further, so it will be super accurate.  We'll see what happens tomorrow.

Day 4 & 5 - Thursday / Friday

The clock is still running about 2 minutes behind.
Maybe my watch is fast?
Anyway, they still have the fence around the clock.

Day 15 - May 23, 2006 Tuesday - Job completed.
They have cleared everything around the clock. Clock is running 2-3 minutes late.
I am beginning to wonder if my clock is running faster.
