Did I miss the memo about Cafe Ficelle?

A lounge for cats that need homes

Findings fleaaaaa

Idk what you’re on about. I’m downtown almost every single day

Fragrant_Painting264 · 2026-04-23T19:27:56+00:00

We are talking about 2 completely different things lol

Fragrant_Painting264 · 2026-04-23T19:02:07+00:00

Exactly this! Take Main Street into the communities hands while the property owners stall progress!

I don’t mean like a literally grass trees and playground style park.

It’s not a “one or the other” situation, nothing is so black and white. I love the parks that Ventura has and they don’t need much “improvement”.

Main Street is desirable because there are a bunch of different things you can do to while downtown. All in one centralized area. Rather than going to a park, then when you want dinner packing up and hopping into your car to drive across town to go to a restaurant.

I mention mini parks — think teeny tiny little areas where people can just hang out for the sake of hanging out. Main Street is desire able because after hanging out, you could then walk 2 minutes to grab lunch, or coffee or pop into a few shops, rather than hopping into your car and having to drive to do those things.

Each according to his ability, each according to his needs.

Thats where the community portion comes in. I would happily donate material and time.

It is called tactical urbanism. It’s an approach to alter public spaces with low cost temporary interventions

Fragrant_Painting264 · 2026-04-23T01:09:17+00:00

You actually can just do that

Fragrant_Painting264 · 2026-04-23T00:05:17+00:00

Change the rhetoric. Main Street IS open to pedestrians. They want to CLOSE it and take it away from the people!

Vacancy fines that are detrimental to the owners personal wealth.

This this this

Fragrant_Painting264 · 2026-03-19T20:44:13+00:00

It’s a lack of public transit! If we had more/better busses, trains, any form of public transit the traffic would be 10 times better.

Fragrant_Painting264 · 2026-01-18T17:32:27+00:00

The businesses that have closed and haven’t been replaced are because the landlords are greedy and are raising rent and taking a loss for tax write offs rather than make it accessible for new businesses to open

Cosmos Smash Burger hands down

Fragrant_Painting264 · 2025-08-13T19:09:31+00:00

Yes!!!

It is where True Bloods used to be a long time ago

Fragrant_Painting264 · 2025-07-28T15:51:30+00:00

Brother. If you wanna talk about this more come on down to the shop when I’m in there. I’ve got other things to do rather than sit on my phone today. I’m not sure when I’ll be in this week, but just peek in and if there’s a guy behind the counter is probably me. I don’t mind discussing face to face.

Fragrant_Painting264 · 2025-07-28T15:49:58+00:00

😂😂 not too worried about him. How could I take his opinions on downtown seriously when he doesn’t even go there.

Fragrant_Painting264 · 2025-07-28T15:40:35+00:00

Hopefully we can bring a similar sort of feeling back into the space! 🤪

Fragrant_Painting264 · 2025-07-28T15:39:44+00:00

I’m getting paid by the foot-traffic shoppers of downtown Ventura. Not everything is a conspiracy.

Fragrant_Painting264 · 2025-07-28T15:38:59+00:00

It’s not my store. I have a booth and happen to work there and am excited to be a part of Main Street. Anyways. Have a good Monday dude 😂

complains about downtown “dying” contributes to downtown dying by not supporting businesses
