    My family moved to Oxnard in 1965 to Poplar St just east of Saviors. Dad was the pastor of the Nazarene Church at Rice Rd and Saviors. I lived there for 20 years and still take occasional road trips up from Glendale. Such great memories!

    I too was born and raised in Oxnard. It's been over 30 years since I'd last been there. Amazing how much has changed. Great video 😊 thanks for the trip down memory lane.

    I like how you touched the true Oxnard history and showed its origins and even used music of that time. Most Oxnard "documentaries" people make it seem like the history is just "barrios" and "chicanos" to make it reflect their worldview, when in reality many types of people influenced the city of Oxnard throughout the years.

      So true. I appreciated the different take on Oxnard. It’s not just the barrios and the Chiques. There’s a lot more history that needs to be covered.

    I was there when Robert Kennedy came by, as a small kid I managed to get to the front of the holding line and he touched my head and shook my hand.
    Wish they never had knocked down all the surrounding buildings of the plaza- they could have retrofitted the buildings instead.
    Great memories and Thank You for sharing.

    I've lived in the 'nard for over 50 yrs. and I finally moved away. I love Oxnard but sadly, in my opinion, it has become overpopulated.
    I loved it when there were less people living there. I wouldn't want to live there in the present time. However, I do come back to visit the beaches. I never noticed how overpopulated it is until I moved away. I mean not to offend anyone, but nowadays it's easy to offend people just by stating some brutal truths. I moved there in '69 and moved away in 2021. I also miss the great weather that we have over there. I lived in the South side of Oxnard on Hamilton Ave. I knew it was becoming overpopulated when I noticed there was heavy traffic bleeding onto Terrace Ave. for the people who wanted to take a short cut to Bard Rd. It's sad to me because Oxnard is located in such a beautiful geographic area and now it's getting gentrified majorly. And the traffic is getting worse.
    Sorry if I sound like a buzzkill, but I'm just stating facts. Oxnard will ALWAYS be a part of me...for better or worse.

    • @esquirrely
      @esquirrely  Před 10 měsíci +2

      Hi, I appreciate your testimony especially from someone who lived there and moved away. I most definitely agree that it has become quite populated recently. I myself born and raised have moved to the Valley for school and coming back I am always amazed by how many building have popped up recently. My parents live on Rose Ave and I went to PHS and they are building a brand new High School on Rose which is down the street and an already a busy street. I can only imagine how much change you must have witnessed over a 50 year period of time. No need to apologize I appreciate the honesty!

    You packed in a ton of information for a six minute documentary--some people should realize one can't cover every thing about Oxnard in that short amount of time, so great job with what you've done here. I was born and raised across the river in East Ventura and my only memories of Oxnard in the 1970s was going to the Esplanade Mall and occasionally the Carriage Square Theater and Sky View Drive-in. This video gave me a lot more historical perspective than I had previously, so thanks.

    I remember when they built Heritage Square. They had taken a bunch of buildings from all over town and cut them in half so they could be loaded onto flat bed trailers. Then they reassembled them in southern downtown.

      I wanted to but I did my documentary on a 25 minute walk I took downtown, however I do plan on making a more “local” perspective. I feel that there is so much history and different topics that one small documentary won’t do it justice.

      Ventura where you can go to some places for fun.

      I dont recommend it if you want to raise a family. Too much gang influence in pretty much every public school. It has become very crowded and overpopulated and they are still building more each year. I was born and raised in Oxnard from birth to the age of 37 so I speak from experience. We moved to Texas and don't regret it one bit because I did not want my daughter to grow up in such an environment. If you want to live in a safer and nicer area move to Camarillo which is the town next to Oxnard.
