Van Nuys: 1945.
Once again, I am posting this heart wrenching photograph of Van Nuys in 1945. The little town sits in a pristine valley surrounded by mountains, where orange groves still grew in abundance, and gangs..... were groups of kids on bicycles.Am I the only one who believes that America was at some…

From the wonderful world of the USC Digital Archives, comes this photo of a grocery store on Hatteras and Van Nuys Blvd. (one block south of Oxnard) after heavy rains in January 1952.Modern eyes are shocked by such words as "Lard", but this fat was honestly advertised and consumed, and judging…

One Month to Americana
It's still the worst-named shopping center out there (well, other than Westfield's insistence in calling all of its malls "Westfield"): The Americana at Brand.But what the hell... we're hoping the arrival not only injects a little more excitement and status to Glendale, but perhaps juices property…

Don't Do It!
Unfortunately, this tree jumped to his death the other day. I think even more trees have jumped since this photo. They just want to get away from these ugly houses too. Not one house up there has sold, or even been rented(!!), yet I don't think. Yaaay greedy developers! But thanks though, at…
