Those driving in the vicinity of Wendy Drive and Academy Drive in Newbury Park will see the grading taking place at the northwest corner of Grande Vista Drive and Academy Drive. This will be the home of a Lowe's and an LA Fitness when the dust has settled and the construction is complete, sometime late next year.

Looking quite empty today in this former Dickey's BBQ Pit location in WLV.
Dickey's BBQ Pit locations in Westlake Village and Simi Valley have closed their doors, leaving us with just one Ventura County location - the original one in Ventura. The Westlake Village location originally opened in July 2015. The Simi Valley location originally opened in January 2014.
Jennifer Brecker was looking forward to dining at The Natural Cafe in Newbury Park today, only to find that it was closed. And closed it is indeed, about a week or so ago at 1714 Newbury Road, as confirmed by a call to the still open Westlake Village location and as evidenced by its absence from The Natural Cafe website at thenaturalcafe.com/locations. Sorry to see this local eatery closed.
