Dog Welder has some interesting San Fernando Valley comparison photos from “yesterday” and “today”. They show how the banality and sprawl of four decades ago has largely been replaced…..by the banality and sprawl of today.

I worked at the Lipson Pharmacy while in college. Lots of movie stars used to come in. The guys next door always gave me free hot fudge sundaes. Henry, the owner, was a nice man. Fun memories!!
