Writer Kevin Roderick has the following description on his website:

“Valley Market Town

Shopping center at 6127 Sepulveda Blvd. near Oxnard Street was a popular spot for postwar families after it opened in 1947. The center offered free baby sitting and dog kennels and featured the Sepulveda Drive-in Theater. By 1954 the complex had been renamed Mr. Carter’s Market Place, after businessman Victor M. Carter.”

The complex is occupied these days by Wickes Furniture.
