• L.A.U.S.D. East Valley High Ribbon Cutting Ceremony
NoHo's new East Valley High School just blocks east of the Metro Station. This fanatastic school plant will include an Olympic size swimming pool. February opened the school to the community. The team name is the Falcons.
I went to North Hollywood High that was built in the 1930's. The Huskies H-U-S-K-I-E-S yeah. Many famous students were from my ol' school such as Bert Convy, Terri Garr, Adam Carola and John Ritter.
I'm sure East Valley will continue in this Valley's claim to fame, and that's FAME.

Sunland Tujunga & North Hollywood are the City of Los Angeles, California in the U.S.A.
We also live in the County of Los Angeles this is the evil maybe x-logo that has that G-d reference, and other stuff of the devils. The County has used for it decades, WHO KNEW?
We can always make fun of ourselves as with the fake-logo for Kalifoana. With this neighborhood blog about these cities with unique historys and lifestyles, we will shed some humor and truths concerning our Los Angeles
ST. NOHO A Native's Eye on Sunland Tujunga and North Hollywood
• Down the Track...
• TRAINS 40's & NOW
Lockheed Airport in the 1940's Rail Line with the now Bob Hope Airport in the background. The train route parallels Vanowen St. here in Burbank just east of NoHo. A great steam train goes west and below we see the same right of way with a MetroLink Train 2007.
• Van De Camps Bakery
This is a Southern California favorite that blanketed the area in markets, as here in a Von's, and they had their own restaurants "under the windmill". The company still sells in stores.
• Hollywood Blowout 2006
IT WAS the JACKASS premier at the Chinese on Hollywood Blvd, I was there with Candy who came down from Northern California and WE WERE SIGHTSEEING not going to that opening yet we did go to film the Smutpeddlers at the Jackass party at Safari Sam's. AnyWho, after people had gone into the movie all of a sudden there was an EXPLOSION in the street west up a half a block, smoke rose up in the air, authorities seemed puzzled and limos parked beside the action were full of dust. It turned out it was an underground electrical power malfuction, putting power out on various places on Hollywood, like Virgin, which was blacked out, yet I noticed that the Chinese Theater with Jackass WAS OKAY!
• NoHo "The Good Life " Art Gallery Opening
• NoHo New High & Horsies There is new High School in NoHo and it is directly behind the Metro station See some pics below...
SEE STORY BELOW... Today Hody's is long gone with the clown mask kids menu, funny that the first time I remember being on that property of Oxnard & Lankershim was when I was a little boy going to see wonderful the Clyde Beatty Circus, with a sideshow and the bigtop, and smell of the elephants. Thriftimart became Von's and now Super Warehouse or something like that,
∆clic enlarge∆
they built a Safeway inbetween that became a Liquor Barn and now Drug Emporium where Malcolm was filmed. AND now on the corner where the Hody's was and then a gas station WE HAVE NEW BUILDING. As of today I have not been by there so if the structure I saw being made is finished and open to something I don't know.
Remember the EDSEL, there was a car dealer built kitty corner from the area mentioned above that opened up to showcase the newest Ford creation named after one of the founder's gransons. It was odd, I suppose non-manly style that the public was not impressed with. You can see the location in the Polaroid below, it is to the right of Hody's.
• NOHO then, now...
Hodys Hollywood & Vine restaurant of the past with NoHo location. The 'clown face' was the kids menu, you could wear it.
• HODY'S RESTAURANT NORTH HOLLYWOOD1950's LANKERSHIM & OXNARD
-ancient Polaroid by Richard Sapiro -looking SOUTH
Oxnard & Lankershim in North Hollywood during the late 50's. A major L.A. restaurant chain called Hody's. There was one at Hollywood & Vine, and two at La Brea & Rodeo. They had a clown mask menu for kids. There was a coffee shop and dining room including a bakery. There was a major fire and it was never rebuilt. By the way Rodeo is pronounced like the horse way, only does it change to the posh way in 90210 down the way a bit. PHOTO by Richard Sapiro.
• "EVERY DAYS A SPECIAL DAY AT THRIFTIMART" LANKERSHIM & OXNARD
-ancient Polaroid by Richard Sapiro -looking NORTH
Above Thriftmart, " Open 24 Hours" across from Bekin's Moving and Storage which now is a Leed's Mattress store and in the same shopping center as a Baskin Robbins Ice Cream store, one of the first stores for that then Glendale company. I went to NHHS with Steve Baskin who's family were part owners of this unique SoCal ice cream store.
A long gone supermarket chain of the 1950's to 60's absorbed by Smart & Final. There was one near Oxnard on Lankershimin North Hollywood with it's tall " T " icon. There was another in the Valley Plaza just north of the north of the new LAUSD middle school, where the Smart & Final is, and that was a small shopping center with small shops on one side of the market and also a shoe repair and Chef's chicken bbq.
EVERY DAYS A SPECIAL DAY AT THRIFTIMART EVERY DAYS A SPECIAL DAY FOR YOU WHAT EVER YOU PUT IN YOUR SHOPPING CART YOU'LL SAVE AND SAVE AT THRIFTIMART...
