Glen Becerra Jumps on Shop Simi Opportunity
I am absolutely delighted by the recent news regarding Glen Becerra’s efforts to bring outside dollars into the City of Simi Valley! This is truly what it’s all about right here. If you haven’t already heard, here’s the deal… and I hope you love this just as much as I do.
In response to the increase in sales tax to LA County residents who are paying nearly 10 cents on the dollar for every taxable purchase, Glen Becerra has invited our neighbors to shop in Simi Valley...

Simi Valley Cajun Festival...
People regularly want to debate me when I tell them I’m proud to live in Simi Valley. Here’s one of the strongest reasons to be proud. It’s the annual Cajun Festival put on by the Rotary Club of Simi Sunrise. There’s more to it than just a weekend of fun. The revenue generated by the Cajun Festival is donated to several charities. What does it take to help those in...

Barking Dogs Not a City Co...
Dear City Council,
Please encourage the outraged neighbors who will be attending the City Council meeting tomorrow to learn how to communicate with their neighbors without intervention by police or with new laws on the books. There are so many better things to address than someone who can’t communicate to their neighbor that their dog barks too much. However, if you’re going to cave in,...

We had a great time at the Simi Valley Street Fair this year! The Simi Valley Street Fair takes place every May between Sequoia and Galena on Cochran Street in Simi Valley. The event is hosted by the Simi Valley Chamber of Commerce. It includes the participation of over 300 vendors and thousands of attendees.

The Simi Valley Street Fair is this Saturday, May 9th, between Galena and Sequoia on Cochran Street. I’ll be there. I enjoy seeing the businesses come together and I’ve always found the volume of people who attend to be impressive.
A long time ago, I once managed to convince myself that I was important enough to accept the role of Chairman of the Simi Valley Street Fair through the...

This week, the Simi Valley Planning Commission showed Candlelight Nightclub no love according to the Simi Valley Acorn on Friday. The Planning Commission voted to send the matter back to the City Council, but only after a 3 hour session including comments from approximately 30 area residents and remarks from the commissioners.
“When you have a CUP, and you have residents that are going to be...

Community Medical Group &#...
Community Medical Group and Regal Medical Group of Simi Valley have both been engaged in silent war. Regal finally won me and my family over. It’s a shame, but it’s a matter of simple business practices. Both groups have good doctors, but Community Medical’s customer service is weak and their handling of this well publicized doctor exodus is poor.
Imagine having a long term medical...

Simi Education Foundation&...
I know young teachers, not only in Simi Valley, but in other districts who are extremely talented, extremely dedicated, and extremely at risk of losing their jobs due to the state budget crisis. Funding for education in general, not only for teachers’ salaries, faces cut backs that you’re sure to feel if your children are enrolled in public schools.
The Simi Valley Education Foundation’s...

New Simi Target Store Too ...
The cost of doing business in Simi Valley might be a bit too expensive if you’re a big box store like Target. Of course, the need for a new Target store at Madera and Los Angeles may be open for debate (a Target exists at Sycamore and Cochran and nearby the proposed new location in Moorpark). Nevertheless, Target has been trying now for a while to get the new store rolling and it’s...
