Raise your hand if you lived here before the myth of spirituality made Ojai hip (and rich) beyond its wildest dreams.

Re: Whats up Ojas?
Fri, September 9, 2005 - 10:17 PMHi Honeys, Still learning about the adventures of you darling boys. You never cease to amaze. Rainbow Bridge was Solar Winds back about the time you were in diapers. Before that, Tom tells me it was the Natural Spot. Great place to run into friends. The stupid park was an old gas station. Robby Es dad John had a solar business there called Aptech. It was the last business at that location. Where was the old book store located? -

Fri, September 9, 2005 - 10:55 PM"Hi Honeys, Still learning about the adventures of you darling boys. "
In some ways it wasn't as bad as the stories, but in some ways it was worse. We did get into it with cops a lot, but we almost always prevailed.
"Rainbow Bridge was Solar Winds back about the time you were in diapers. "
Yeah! Solar Winds was Solar Winds before Rainbow Bridge was even Vitamin Villa.
"Robby Es dad John had a solar business there called Aptech."
I remember that.
"Where was the old book store located?"
I don't remember--but I do remember a little diner that was right between the Library and the Ojai Playhouse. I went there once with Alan Little when he was living in our back yard in a teepee.
Man, the old Ojai hippies made wonderful teepees. It's something I get really nostalgic about sometimes. -

Re: Whats up Ojas?
Sat, September 10, 2005 - 11:07 AMI remember running around Solar Winds with no shoes or shirt on. Never any problems about it. Now I work in the natural food industry and I'm usually the one who has to tell the kids to put their shoes and/or shirt on, and it makes me sad every time I do. I pine for the days when every little thing wasn't regulated and people weren't afraid of a little dirt.
Oh, and welcome to Tribe mom! :)

Re: Whats up Ojas?
Sat, September 10, 2005 - 11:20 AMI remember the Time Portal of course, I figured she was talking about that other place that was over between Fox St and Bald St? Time Portal was a used and antiquarian bookstore, the other one was an actual "metaphysical" bookstore.

Re: Whats up Ojas?
Thu, October 6, 2005 - 12:06 AM"Who can name the original "metaphysical" shop?"
Well, I remember the Heart of Light, but I suspect that's not the one you have in mind.
"The old book store w/ all of the Aleister Crowley?"
That was the place where Steve worked and always drew on t-shirts.
That's where I first saw High Times magazine and was absolutely astonished that people could get away with publishing something like that.
"Rainbow Bridge's original name?"
Well, Solar Winds used to be where Rainbow Bridge is now.
"What happened to the old Buddha statue?"
Didn't you steal that?
"How to get on top of the arcade?"
Never did. I do know the somewhat less impressive method of getting on top of Libbey Bowl though.
"What was at the stupid park accross from Ojai Liqour before the stupid park?"
It was an empty lot. But before that, It was a gas station.
Here's mine:
What used to be where the Ojai Ice Cream store is now? -

Re: Whats up Ojas?
Thu, October 6, 2005 - 11:25 AM""Rainbow Bridge's original name?"

Rainbow Bridge was originally called the Vitamin Villa and was located next to Radio Shack.
Solar Winds was never in the building that Rainbow Bridge is in now. It started where Gemquest is now and then slowly took over the surrounding shops so that it was eventually taking up the whole building--including the part that has become the antique store.

It was a gas station long ago, but the last business that was there before it finally closed it's doors for good was John Erickson's solar business. I think it was called Aptek? -

Re: Whats up Ojas?
Sat, October 8, 2005 - 6:35 PMI used to love to rag on Neva Bradigan (who redisgned the Arcade Plaza, in a most lovely fashion for the most part) about the stupid poppy fountain. I mean, man, that thing is ugly. With the silly day-glo pente chips? Jesus.
