  • Join Kendall as he takes you to the little town of Ojai, CA. Along the way, learn the history of this beautiful community. We'll visit Libby Park, a creepy old cemetery (woof!) and other places that have helped this community get nicknamed Shangri-la.
    Join Kendall as he and his friend, the video camera, take you on an adventure. The autistic artist, graphic designer and filmmaker shares some of his favorite places to visit. Normally not overly social, he comes to life when he has a conversation with the camera and his viewers. Kendall starts the adventures with a quick history lesson where you are bound to learn something new. He uses his God given gifts to bless the world, and encourages others to do the same. His motto is "autistic and gifted...God doesn't make mistakes".

    4:00 For those on motorcycles- we have parking for your bikes right on Ojai Ave. There is a water fountain and a bench right there and restrooms just a few steps into Libbey Park. 4:00

    Ojai was my home for a very long time. Some of my family still lives there. When the pandemic hit, there were a lot of people from Los Angeles, with money, that moved to Ojai and it’s never been the same. Not in a good way either. They don’t understand what Ojai really represents. 😢

    Every morning before school, me and my friends would always meet up in the graveyard, we would smoke a joint and then go to school. 😂😂 later I worked for the city of Ojai and I would set peoples ashes and place there tumb stones and also bury bodies there. Some of the graves go all the way back into the 1800s.

      It's not the typical cemetery. It certainly has an old graveyard vibe.

    I lived in the back area of Ojai near the Foster Freeze in the 1980's. There was a small community there. My parents had horses on a small ranch. I think they abandoned the house because the well water was polluted from the oil in the area. The house was scrapped and I think that entire neighborhood disappeared in the 1990's.
