Ojai

[Bekah]

But does Camarillo have anything specific to do with the book?  Is  
Camarillo mentioned?  (serious question).  I see mention of Ojai,  but  
Ojai is significantly different from Camarillo.   They're about 30  
miles apart - (a bit north of the greater LA area).   Ojai is much  
smaller,  more on the desert,  artsy,  up-scale.   Camarillo is much  
larger,  distinctly middle class, commercial,  used to have a large  
mental hospital.   In the late '60s - early '70s,  I don't think Ojai  
was much of anything but Camarillo was booming.  Later Ojai got more  
famous for the film festival and the spa there.

When I came across the reference to Ojai it seemed to me that P was  
directing our attention to the fact that the savings and loan was not  
in the immediate area;  it was more outside the immediate area.
