Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza Now Referred to as The Bank of America Performing Arts Center Thousand Oaks

Recently, the City of Thousand Oaks announced that the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza is now being referred to as The Bank of America Performing Arts Center (BAPAC), Thousand Oaks. This includes the two theaters within the BAPAC, Fred Kavli Theatre and Scherr Forum Theatre.

Bank of America has always been part of the name, but to adhere to the naming rights and to promote the venue as a regional performing arts center, the name has been rebranded.

Subway in the North Ranch Gateway in Westlake Village Closed Its Doors on October 29th

Joining a growing list of local area Subway closures is the Subway in the North Ranch Gateway (aka TJ Maxx Plaza) at 30817 Thousand Oaks Boulevard, Westlake Village. This is disappointing to me personally as I’ve been to this Subway a number of times and always enjoyed it.

Folks may joke about how many Subway Sandwich eateries there are, but there really has been a noticeable drop, with Subway closures in Newbury Park (two of them) in 2016, at Janss Marketplace Thousand Oaks a few months ago, Subway in the Simi Valley Civic Center Plaza last month and the Conejo Valley Plaza Shopping Center in June 2016.
