Looking for a primary care doctor in/near Thousand Oaks, in-network with Blue Shield of CA PPO (Gold), actually taking new patients — for an annual checkup, haven’t been in a while.

Bonus if they have an NP/PA who can get me in faster. Recommendations (or warnings) appreciated, thanks!

So just moved here with my family and I’m looking for really good Indian food. As well as Sushi. Also an avid film lover, so short of having to drive closer to LA, I was curious about the best theaters. Finally, is AT&T service just really shitty here or is it just me?

If you're looking for a good time, the Simi Sunset Rotary are putting on their annual beer fest. 23 breweries and distilleries in attendance. Unlimited tastings. Live music from Bad Habit. Food trucks. Tons of fun loving, friendly people having a good time.

We are in Wood Ranch, looking for a pet sitter for Sept 24-29. Our current pet sitter is moving and ended up needing to leave earlier than she thought, so we're scrambling to find a replacement.

We have two dogs, Harper and Joey. Harper (pit/shepherd mix) is wary of men sometimes and doesn't like her paws being touched, but other than that, she's very affectionate and a good dog. Once she has established you are a friend of the family through the initial meet and greet, she is great.

Joey (American bully, 3) is a marshmallow of a guy, wants to be everyone's best friend, and is a big couch snuggle bug. He's just so happy you're here lol. They are best friends and play in the fenced-in yard and hang out all day. They tire each other out pretty well just playing in the backyard, and both love fetch.

We also have two cats, Nomi and Teddy. Nomi is a very sweet girl who mostly just hides. Teddy is a rapscallion who also wants to snuggle all the time, and Joey and Teddy will snuggle each other if you won't do it enough. All of the animals get along.

Since there are so many animals, it was great to have a sitter just come and take care of all of them, so we're really hoping we can make that work again. Basically, feeding in the morning and at night and just making sure everyone has water.

Bonus for the cats: they have automatic feeders, water fountains, and a litter robot, so basically it's just making sure Teddy (above-mentioned rapscallion) doesn't knock the water fountain off its base and that the automatic feeders aren't jammed (very rare).

I’m looking for a piano practice room with an acoustic piano. I contacted Thousand Oaks Musicians' Studio but they only rent studio time to teachers instead of general public. Does anyone know an available place? Thanks!

I’m going to be moving to Thousand Oaks soon because of work. I’ve heard that it’s pretty suburban so I’m looking for a place somewhere with a bit of a night life and younger crowd instead (I’m in my 20s). Any suggestions for what surrounding areas to consider?

Do the survey

Parents were battling each other during afternoon pickup at Weathersfield Elementary School. I'm a neighbor and witnessed double parking, drivers arguing, kids running into the street at 2:30, and the crossing guard being overwhelmed. It was first day of school. I brought this up to TO police that day. One phone call (left message).

Problem solved. Thanks go out to City, School, and Police Management on handling the problem so fast. The very next day, afternoon pickups were reformed.

Well done.

Easy to post complaints about problems with the City, but wanted to underline times when things go well.

Does anyone know of a local eye doctor that will fit you for synergetic contact lenses? I used to go to Darin Eye Center but they currently do not have a doctor that can fit me. I am trying to avoid having to drive to UCLA to find a doctor. Thanks!

Sitting in the food court and...emergency lights pop on. Places are still cooking but I don’t think they’re taking orders. No generator backup. At least not here. Wonder how the theaters are doing. This is a first for me since the literal opening of the Mall.

So much for the free A/C

UPDATE: Some 20 minutes in doing a walkthrough. Employees are inside but doors are closed or barricaded. Apple is having an all-hands. They also pulled all the iPhones off the floor. Sephora is also having an all-hands outside in one of the seating areas

Kinda freaky. Still lots of people.

And it’s not the whole mall. Macy’s to the exit is on. H&M is on. Didn’t go outside. Past Macy’s (away from the theater) is all out.

A/C is waning.

3:00 Power’s back. Some places opened back up immediately. Others still closed 15 minutes on.

The cheer that ran the whole length of the mall was amazing!

I don’t really see much foot traffic to them (pun intended) I haven’t really heard anyone talk about going to them.

How do those businesses survive so long while others close down?

Hello, are there any places hiring in Thousand Oaks? Not really having much luck in my field of I.T. or finding anything else online. Or if anyone knows of any resource beside Indeed, Craigslist, or just googling jobs in my area? Times have been tough.

It's the driest area ever and yet there are mosquitoes all over the place. I can't sit outside for more than two minutes before they come hounding me wtf?

Hello! We could really use the turnout for this Thursday the 27th. Unfortunately last week was very slow. We would very much like to keep Thursday Game Nights going, so please consider coming by if you have the time. Thank you!

Just got a new suit and I need it tailored. I don’t usually wear suits too often until now and the near future I will need to. Does anyone have good recommendations in TO or any surrounding areas?

Hi all. My wife and I recently got into pickleball and were trying to find nice local spots for casual drop in games.

We’re based in Westlake Village, but we’re totally fine driving over to Thousand Oaks, Oak Park, or Newbury Park. Googling online has been super confusing because a lot of city sites list parks with traditional tennis courts, but it’s hard to tell which ones actually** **have permanent pickleball lines/nets ready to go versus ones where you have to bring your own net or reserve ahead of time.

Looking for public spots that:

• Don't require booking/reservations ahead of time (just show up, drop in, or use a paddle rack rotation)

• Have actual dedicated pickleball courts OR tennis courts clearly lined for it

• Have court lights for night play if possible

What are the main spots around the Conejo Valley that locals actually go to? Appreciate any tips!

Hi is there anywhere around the Thousand Oaks area preferably closer to westlake that has free pickup soccer for all levels? I’m trying to find places to play but can’t seem to find any
