  3. #Ventura housed #ErleStanleyGardner for years as he worked his series, #PerryMason.

  4. #Ventura is officially #SanBuenaventura or #SaintBonaventure in Spanish. With a 2024 population of 109k, it's the county seat but not the most populated city.

  5. #Tiburon and #Belvedere in #California share the #TiburonPeninsula. Along with that, they share the 94920 zip code via the shared post office, library and recreation agency.

  6. The #USNationalGuard is a reserve group arranged by the #USArmy and #AirForce in every state and territory that can be called upon by governors during situations like riots and disasters.

  7. With the #PosseComitatusAct, signed into law by Pres.#RutherfordBHayes on Jun 18, 1878, the military is limited in its ability to enforce civilian law. Since then, the act has been tested and even suspended, but still stands as a reminder of the role of the military in our lives. #photography #americana #wa #california #californication #canon80d #colorphotography #blackandwhitephotography #travel #photos #trivia

  8. In 1919, records show Manuel “Cy” Saenz receiving $10 or $252 (adjusted) monthly to store the City’s fire truck in his garage at Ince and Washington Blvd. Volunteers fought fires during this time and one involving the then-Mayor's garage led to the start of the #FireDepartment. #photography #americana #wa #california #architecture #californication #culvercity #colorphotography #blackandwhitephotography #travel #trivia
