"Los Angeles is surrounded by valleys, but there's only one Valley..."
Hush Money, by Peter Israel

 
What does Moorpark St. mean to you?

Other than what it spells backward, of course. Zach Behrens writes about Sherman Oaks at his personal blog In the Oaks and about Los Angeles more generally at LAist, a commercial blog that is part of the New York-based Gothamist network. At the latter site, he is posting a multi-part series with comments from other bloggers about the sights and wonders of, yes, Moorpark Street. Why, you might ask?

Moorpark Street seems to be at a pivotal point toward where condo conversions gravitate and on which older businesses and "lifer" residents try to continue their existence. It runs 6 miles straight from Cedros Ave. in Sherman Oaks to Toluca Lake, where it ends at the Burbank border at Clybourn Ave. About 7 pockets of unconnected street appear in West Sherman Oaks and throughout Encino. The nice thing is, it lives all within Los Angeles city limits.
