City Walks: Ventura, California virtual treadmill beach walking tour

[@davidlalone2286]

Started at the old City Hall... Walking towards the beach... Brings back plenty of wonderful memories! Ventura is my childhood home and yes I sure do miss it!

[@CityWalks]

Such a lovely beach community. Thanks for watching -H

[@nataliarivera3423]

I love, love how you made this video. You didn’t talk much. You just allowed us to take the beautiful view in and let our minds escape where we wanted. Beautifully done. Thank you!

[@CityWalks]

Glad you enjoyed it! Most people seem to like the talking but sometimes the location begs for quiet. Cheers -H

[@christinejohnson7711]

Your video is helping me deciding on accepting a nursing travel assignment; thank you so much. Stay safe and blessed 🙏🙏🙏

[@CityWalks]

Glad it was helpful! Best of luck -H

[@WatchedWalker]

Really enjoyed this walk, thank you! I can only dream of living by the beach - waking up in the morning and looking out of the window with a view of the sea would be amazing!

[@CityWalks]

Glad you enjoyed it. I, of course, like watching yours as well. Living at the beach would be great. We live in Montana and it's amazing but this time of year it gets a bit chilly. :-) -Henry

[@nataliarivera3423]

Me too!

[@markturner4425]

Was born there in 1961 and spent many and many days riding bmx bikes down town . Brings back good memories .Left in 1993 thanks

[@CityWalks]

Awesome. Must have been a very cool place to grow up. Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it. -H

[@TheSargeGaming]

Totally relaxing

[@davidlalone2286]

That tall building was the Holiday Inn when it was built... I was a child when it was being built along with the parking garage to the left 27:07. The boardwalk was new too!watch it being build too when I was young boy. Loads of memories!

[@CityWalks]

Awesome. Thanks for that local perspective and memories. Cheers -H

My dad lives in Ventura and I just got back from visiting my mom in Livingston Montana a few days ago. Actually drove to Livingston FROM Ventura! About 1200 miles. That was a very familiar walk in Ventura. I've walked all those same places going back to when I was a little kid. Great memories.

[@CityWalks]

Hah, small world. Yeah, that's a LONG drive. We have kids so we usually stop in S. Utah or Vegas. We're gone for the summer but if you make it through Livingston again, give us a shout. -H

[@KydraExhale]

Miss this place.

[@CityWalks]

It's a cool place for sure. -H

[@stankormy5717]

That’s beautiful Ventura!

[@CityWalks]

We agree! Thanks. -H

[@liel1201]

[@CityWalks]

Our pleasure! -H

[@trique9776]

This is anytown USA, but near the beach is the only difference.

[@CityWalks]

Hmm, I thought it had a lot of character but then, I didn't see the whole town. Thanks for watching -H

[@youtube-ventura]

Nice walk through Ventura! I was born and raised there, really miss it. Thanks for bringing me fond memories.

[@CityWalks]

Glad you enjoyed it -H

[@litastardreams]

I love this town but haven't been able to be there in over a year. Trying to get back to the place that has felt most like home in my life, Ventura. Thanks for this, it was the next best thing to walking those streets myself.

[@CityWalks]

Great comment and thanks so much. Glad it gave a little taste of home. 👋👍 -Henry

[@beebaozer]

My home ❤ I can almost feel the sun on my skin...

[@CityWalks]

Rain it’s a very chill and beautiful town. -Henry

[@canyonmoon3773]

[@robertellis7172]

Went to Ventura high in 1987. The faces on this building all different use to live on Buana Vista street and Channel island street and hummingbird street went to Montalvole school at one time now live in Klamath falls Oregon

[@CityWalks]

Awesome. Love hearing these personal stories. Thanks. -H

[@abdulghafoor2368]

Beautiful walk. Great work .

[@CityWalks]

Thanks so much and thanks for the comments. -Henry

[@adel7187]

Beautiful place !

[@CityWalks]

Yeah, it’s pretty laid back. It would be a great place to hang out for a week or so. Thanks for the comment- Henry

[@virtualfitnesstv]

nice work that

[@CityWalks]

World Nature Video thanks so much. I’m glad you liked it and took the time to comment. Happy walking.

[@phaphathailand9300]

Very good..!!!

[@CityWalks]

Thanks. And thanks for the comment. -Henry

[@robertellis7172]

Now live in klamath Falls Oregon if you can handle snow Oregon is a good place to go

[@CityWalks]

It was -20F the other day so snow is not a problem. :-) Thanks -H

[@Chris9183]

Thanks for the video, my wife and I are moving to Ridgecrest in a couple of days but would like to go to the beach on weekends sometimes, and I thought Ventura looked nice. I don't really want to go to Huntington beach because I assume it's going to be a lot more crowded than the beaches in Ventura. Could you tell me what the differences are?

[@CityWalks]

I would love to but I'm not from there so I don't really know. I'd say try both. Maybe you'll find a surprise. Have a great and easy move. And thanks for watching. -Henry

[@susanobryan6093]

No need to apologize about the wind there are windy places in every state and for my coming from the rocky mountains and into the mid west states wind is just something we put up with

[@CityWalks]

Thanks. This was especially windy day and the wrong mic I believe but glad you enjoyed it. -H

[@robertellis7172]

Grow up in Ventura went to Ventura high school class of 1987 in 1984 the olympic torch came through Ventura .I know why when the 2 high school play football it's called the Brown bowl that is why I don't drink beer or get drunk and drive the car accident happen in 1986 won't have nothing to do with drinking alcohol.at the age of 52

[@CityWalks]

Interesting story. Sorry to hear that. -H

[@AC-lv1eq]

Why didnt you keep walking down the hill on cedar and showcase historic ventura avenue

[@CityWalks]

Didn't know about it. Thanks for the suggestion though -H

[@retroman416]

I would love to live in Ventura

[@CityWalks]

It's pretty chill place, though California has a LOT of people. I'd like to maybe spend a month there sometime. -H

[@Arnel_A67]

👍😊

[@CityWalks]

Thanks! -H

[@JohnDoe-wy1yd]

I sprained my ankle at the six minute mark, you'll be hearing from my attorney.

[@CityWalks]

I wish you a speedy recovery. That sidewalk is tricky. :-) -H

[@StockholmWalks]

What a lovely channel! And this walk makes me long for California. I´ve recently started my own walking channel: walks on the streets of Stockholm, come along for a walk if you wish!

[@CityWalks]

Just Subbed. Glad you enjoyed this video. We were in Stockholm 18 months ago but only for a week. Such a lovely city and so much more to see when we eventually get back. Thanks for the comment. -Henry

[@herminventura]

Dude, the next time you film walking down a sidewalk, remember to pan your camera to the left and to the right so your viewers can see what you are seeing. Once we have seen the side walk we don't need to keep seeing the same thing while to each side the scenery keeps changing. You walked passed the mission without filming it and never showed us the green lawn across the street from the mission. Nice sidewalks.

[@CityWalks]

Hmmm. Well, I actually pay money to travel and make these but you can watch for free. Your tone is coming across as a little entitled and snotty. Maybe frame it as constructive criticism next time instead of like you deserve to be served and catered to because you are somehow special. While I welcome corrections and suggestions here, I get a little annoyed by people who seem to think they have the right to be snotty just because they can type and have an opinion. Please remember kindness and decency still matter. Merry Christmas and I hope your 2021 is wonderful..

[@kirstenvogel9620]

@@CityWalks It wasn't really a snotty or self-entitled remark. Try to listen to the message instead of criticizing the messenger who can help you improve your video. Also, it's likely because he/she was expecting more scenery of the beautiful Ventura as I was. I was just about to write something similar, please, I do not need to see sidewalk sidewalk as if I'm a small dog, it's annoying to use your word.

[@CityWalks]

@@kirstenvogel9620 Hi Kirsten. I respectfully disagree. While I welcome constructive criticism, and have in fact incorporated these very suggestions into my newer walks (this one's a couple years old and at the time I'd had several requests to keep the view straight on at the time), the tone of herminventura wasn't polite, constructive, or even well intentioned as yours is. I found it rude and sarcastic and reeking of entitlement. "Nice sidewalks" isn't constructive. I'd encourage you to reread the comment from the eyes of a creator. If someone spoke to you like that in person, would it be acceptable? I found it sarcastic and rude. I thank you for feedback and helpful tone. And, I will admit, my response was not as positive as it should have been but I feel like if we don't speak up about what I see as bad behavior online, if there are no consequences, then the bad behavior will continue and perhaps next time the rudeness will be directed at another viewer. I'd like to keep this channel a positive, helpful place, and admit my response could have been a little less defensive. I hope you will view a few other videos to see how positive I try to be (and how I now try to include more details). Thanks for your feedback, -Henry
