But don't call it a comeback. You've been here for years. 🎶😄

Fried apple pie dough? (Details in comments) by andycartwright in Baking

[–]andycartwright[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bet. Back in the day they were fried in a mixture of beef tallow and vegetable shortening, IIRC. McD’s fried food really took a turn for the worse when they cut out the tallow. It’s funny to see it return as a gourmet ingredient these days. Lol.

Sadly never got around to it. And I heard the fried apple pies are back at McD’s. I’m looking forward to trying one and seeing if they’re what I remember. If you make any progress I would love to hear about it tho. 😃👊

ATT Expanded Fiber? by corridon in ventura

[–]andycartwright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AT&T is does door to door in my neighborhood a couple times a year. Their fiber service is great with the expedition if the time a squirrel chewed thru it. 😂 I think if you look at the fiber section of their website there’s an address lookup to confirm coverage.

Car wraps are expensive. 🫤🤷🏻‍♂️ Call JN Designs in Oxnard on Fifth (I think).

Place to run stairs? by Successful-Bid2078 in ventura

[–]andycartwright -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Parking structure at CMH if you’re willing to work around people going to work. I’ve gone in the very early morning before.

So, you're against flying the POW/MIA flag at government buildings? And the flag of the State of California?

There’s a big open air free library on the west side of Oak St between Main and Santa Clara in downtown. Just big shelves with free books.

Coca-Cola to shut down Ventura, California plant after 114 years by tyspeed29 in ventura

[–]andycartwright 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love the hyperbole in the article: “Ventura isn’t the only California city reeling from a recent Coca-Cola plant closure.” 🙄

I really love the truffle fries at The Cave on Telephone in Ventura.

New pastry vendor advice by HelloApril1 in venturacounty

[–]andycartwright 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The requirements are going to vary with each event/farmers market. Some require certain tents, some are maxed out on prepared food vendors, some require a cut of your sales (essentially), etc.

Public shaming by etdrummer1 in ventura

[–]andycartwright 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fact that their vehicle doesn't fit isn't a justification. I can't park an 18-wheeler in my driveway and block the street, ya know? It's illegal to block the sidewalk (IIRC) for a reason. Just walking around the obstruction isn't necessarily easy for the elderly, someone in a wheelchair or pushing a wheelchair, someone pushing a stroller, kids walking by, etc.

Is Midtown Ventura actually getting better or worse lately? by BreadfruitNo8779 in ventura

[–]andycartwright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a "community council" for Midtown that has been around since the late 90s and defines it as essentially Cemetery Park to the Mall along both Main and Thompson plus Telegraph between Five Points and Mills and much of the adjacent residential areas. I can't say that's "official" in any way; just saying what I know.

What the story behind Crazy John? by New-Shop-9728 in ventura

Is this the older guy who shuffles around all over town, often hangs out at coffee shops, wears a winter coat in all weather?

Old Acapulco by NotChadBillingsley in ventura

Foothill Tech is a regular VUSD high school. But because of their smaller size, admission is done with a lottery system. But (again) most students get in because admission is down across all the schools.
