According to the National Coffee Association in its Spring 2024 National Coffee Data Trends report, 67% of Americans have had coffee in the past day, compared to 49% in 2004. The greatest increase is among consumers 60+, whose past day consumption increased by 9%. Consumers in the 25 to 59 age groups also saw increases in consumption. 57% of American adults had a specialty coffee in the past week, up 7.5% one year prior.

Over 40 Things To Do in Santa Barbara

/

Incorporated on April 9, 1850, the city of Santa Barbara is a popular destination for Ventura County residents as it can be reached in an hour or less via the 101.  Santa Barbara is referred to as the American Riviera, with the longest south-facing section of coastline on the west coast.

The city was inhabited by the Chumash over 13,000 years ago. But it received its name from Spanish explorer Sebastian Vizcaino in 1602 when he entered the channel on the 4th of December, the day of the feast of Santa Barbara.

If I had to move from the Conejo Valley to some other place in the world, Santa Barbara would be on my short list for its temperate weather, laid back feel and so many things to do, which we highlight below.

BREAKING NEWS: Thousand Oaks’ First 24 Story Residential Tower Quietly Completed Overnight

/

Officials confirmed early this morning that a 24 story high rise has been completed behind the Civic Arts Plaza as part of a “pilot program to test vertical living in the Conejo Valley.”

According to spokesperson Bea Leevme, the project was approved during a special meeting held at 6:12 a.m. on a Tuesday in late December, “when most residents were understandably busy.”

The tower includes 312 units, a rooftop meditation deck overlooking the 101, and a “Conejo Vista Observation Lounge” on the 23rd floor. Rent is expected to start at $4,900 for a studio, with parking available in an underground structure located beneath City Hall.

When asked why no one noticed the construction, public works representative April Fuel cited “advanced noise reduction technology” and “a general tendency for residents to avoid the area during rush hour.”

More details to come as this story develops.

Compilation of Happy Hours in the Conejo Valley

/

Merriam-Webster dictionary defines “happy hour” as a period of time during which the price of drinks (as at a bar) is reduced or hors d’oeuvres are served free or at a discount. According to a Wikipedia article, as of July 2015, happy hour bans existed in Alaska, Delaware, Hawaii, Indiana, Maine, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Utah and Vermont.

The Massachusetts law was put into place in 1984. It prohibits discounted or free drinks at any time of day and prohibits sale of beer or other drinks by the pitcher except to two or more persons at a time. It does not prohibit offering free or discounted food or entertainment, however.

In any case, California does not have such law, so here’s a compilation of happy hours at establishments in the Conejo Valley - Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, Newbury Park, Oak Park, Agoura Hills and part of Calabasas. CONTACT US with any updates, or additions to this list.
