-ALIEN INVASION
IN ST & NOHO
ALIEN INVADERS to Sunland Tujunga &
North Hollywood. It was the 1950's and
U.F.O.'s abound in Southern California
The LUER FRANKS company sent this rocket advertisement
out to various market openings. Children could go inside and
sit in the spaceship and watch a commercial laden cartoon.
Here it is in Sunland and I saw it myself as a child in the
Valley Plaza Shopping Center at Alexanders Market
-WHAT
What is being builton tht NE corner of
Lankertshim & Oxnard ?
Why has The City of L.A.NOT COME THROUGH
as this dirt lot stands next
to the new LAUSD school...
PROMISES PROMISES.
MY MOM
LET US DO
helicopters
and Coca Cola
... IN NOHO ! 
When I grew up an older friend
up up and away...
I PERSONALLY KNOW
OF ONE AIRPORT IN
NORTH HOLLYWOOD,
and I grew up hearing
of another, both near
each other,
at different times.
David Kennedy, said his Dad had
flown his airplanes landing in the
WASH that is now the 170 where
his house was approximately in
the area of Laurel Cyn and Burbank NE near the WASH.
Movie Theater former
Alexander's Market
My Mom would always take us to shop. One area was
VALLEY PLAZA, or as she would jokingly call it,
"Valley Pleasure" the part SW of Sears by the Theater
which was an ALEXANDER'S MARKET.
Oh, the COKE MACHINE in this market on those hot
Valley days would dispense a bottle of COKE, 8oz,
that was so cold the first drinks were COKE SLUSH.
Victory Van Owen park
In Valley Plaza
The large parking lot is the same today leading to that
part of Victory Van Owen Park which WAS/IS on both
sides of the WASH/170FWY. The WASH was great
all that sand, and on the other side there was a slanting
concrete wall that we would get a piece of corrugated box
throw some sand and sliiiide!
Basically Victory Blvd
and Laurel Cyn
In 1957 (I looked it up on the web) L.A. Airways
paved a landing circle and road from Victory Blvd
to have a helicopter mail stop, which a man in a
station wagon would come and pick up US Mail.
My best friend Richard and I once took a passenger
trip on the noisy Korean Era helicopter leaving
VALLEY PLAZA going to Van Nuys, LAX,
Down Town L.A. and Burbank Airport
(BOB HOPE AIRPORT
originally LOCKHEED AIRCRAFT)
a very noisy but exciting flight.
SO, there you are
2 (TWO) airports in NOHO,
TOLD YA!.
