Are you sure they are going to be putting in a Barnes and Noble?  I have been waiting so long for a big book store to come to Camarillo

All I can say is Camarillo is really going to be a place to shop, eat and enjoy, considering the outlet mall already receives the bulk of the visitors in Ventura county, then throw in a new Promenade right down the street from it, then right down the street from the Promenade will be the new Paseo Camino Real shopping center... all on the side of the 101 freeway...

It's going to be great, but I do hope they build in more streets to accomodate the increased traffic.

I can't wait 'til all of this is completed!

Mana, it may seem nice for all the shoppaholics, but we definitely need much more for the family intertainment. how a bout  a Dave and Busters! Our college age young people would love it and there is definitely nothing like it in Ventura Co. Kids, families and singles would sure make use of it.

How could this be promoted?

I heard rumors about a hooters there! Is this true?

The Hooters rumor has definitely been floating around. Finally a worthwhile place to watch sports without leaving town! If not Hooters, something fun oriented would be great. Camarillo residents do watch sports in case anyone wondered.

If the Camarillo City Council seriously thinks this town should be nothing more than a place to gain revenue from the tens of thousands of visitors whose only reason to come here is to spend money at the Outlet Center, they ought to be booted out.  Why right minded community has no decent book store?  Even Oxnard has a bookstore.  I sincerely hope that the decision is made to mimic the Westlake Promenade rather than create more miles of stores on prime land.  Surely the people making the decisions have an interest in their home values, and creating another little LA will bring them all down. 

The decision to build yet another shopping center within a few blocks of what will then be 3 shopping centers is mind numbing.  Why not a museum, or something educational?  I am very frightened for the future of Camarillo with the sort of mentality we are seeing going into these shopping areas.  And a Hooters?  In what way would that sit well with any of the families living here?  Frankly, if that happened, I would ban my family from ever shopping in the Promenade, as well as tell everyone I know who comes from out of town to not bother.

Really....

The last 2 entries were obviously written by a couple lame squares. The kind of people that call the cops when they hear loud music. hahahaha

I own a business in camarillo. I am not some hot young beauty queen, but how much low self esteem do you have to have to protest a Hooters. Yeah Dumb name, but have you ever been inside? Nothing offensive about it, just prettier woman than you. Put a dog chain on your husband so the rest of us can enjoy the chicken wings

Glad to see there are so many fellow Camarillo-ians that are looking forward to a big bookstore!  When one finally goes up, first round of coffees are on me....  :)

"long time residents" always seem to speak too loud.... how bout those of us who were actually born and raised here and who's families go back generations. We have the most meaningful and practical voice. Too many "franchise" retail stores are getting played out. This city has notorious frugal residents and big stores won't do too well. We need FUN places and a hooters OR something else similar definitely falls in that category. Ventura and T.O. should NOT be the only local areas to hang out on weekends.

I was actually hoping the new promenade would mimic "The Lakes" in Thousand Oaks. Unfortunetly it looks like its going to be just more retail stores. Why do we need more of an outlet mall? A nice Claim Jumper or P.F Changs i feel would go very well right there.

These new developments are so disappointing (so far). I was born and raised in Camarillo, but have since opted to move to Ventura about 2 years ago. Why? Because Ventura has fun things to do. There is nothing better than small, non-chain resturants where you know the food quality is good. Camarillo and their lack of vision burns me up. All of this land and more retail space...what for? The outlet mall isn't even that great...unless you live out of town because its a novelty. Why would we want to expand upon that with more nonsense stores! I'd like ot see a Cheesecake Factory or PF Changs if we have to go the chain route. Like someone said earlier, a Dave and Busters would be ideal. In case the old folks running this city forgot, Camarillo has become a college town...even though you wouldn't know it since all of the college students go to T.O or Ventura to have fun. How about keeping the revenue in Camarillo and create, even a small scene, for college kids to congregate and have a fun time at. Just my thoughts...
