Tiki Makes The Local Paper - General Tiki

Ventura to me is not High Brow.....just a funky beach town, and not even in a cool way. I think the city fathers made a huge mistake of allowing the 101 freeway to cut off the town from the beach. I believe the prices reflect all of California. Now that Santa Barbara's median price is over a million, Carpenteria and Ventura are close enough in geography to get some pricing overflow. I don't care for the style of the Tiki or the town. I DO like Tiki and Ventura. I lived there in the 80s, have friends and family there, and surf and shop there. No better place to be homeless than a beach town with mild weather and lots of tourists. Too bad Wellman Jue's Paradise is no longer there. Would have liked to have had a cocktail before it was turned into a market. Aloha
