As a current and long time resident of the San Fernando Valley, I don't think our area gets enough recognition for all it's rich history, current trends, and colorful music culture. For a long time now I have been feeling like as residents we should embrace that more. does anyone else on here feel the same way or is it just me?

Considering there are tons of toponymic examples of the San Fernando Valley areas originating from the dominant Tongva tribe in the area pre spanish settlements. Places like Pacoima, Tujunga, Topanga, Rancho Cucamonga, Azusa, and Cahuenga Pass are all Tongva place names that have been absorbed into general use in California. Theres plenty off places that have historical influence in the valley, such as present-day Mission Hills originally labeled Rancho Encino; where Juan Francisco Reyes built an adobe dwelling beside a Tongva village or rancheria at natural springs. Along with all that and many examples, Chicano history has been a big part of the valley and their pop cultural influence through out california, and the rest of the world. With a little research and some exploring around the are you can learn a ton.

The culture of the San Fernando Valley in the 1980s was amazing!! The land of "totally" "oh my God" "gag me with a spoon" etc. The movie Valley Girl is seriously one of my favorites and I'm not the least bit embarrassed to admit that.


The culture of the Valley in 2015 isn't unique at all, Persians, Jews and Cholos are not exclusive to the area.

Once Tommy Thomas (Palomino) and Filthy McNasty (FM Station) went away, who was out there to bring the new music? Anybody?

History of those places are pretty amazing. Of course now they are forgetting except for in the history books although the physical buildings are still there. I live down the street from the Palomino .

Hard to imagine that it was once a place where the big country legends would perform.

Palomino Club (North Hollywood) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It sounds like the bar and area was kind of rough and working class even back in those days. The wikipedia link as some interesting articles at the bottom of it.

Filthy McNastys was a rock club , its now a latin club. It's at Lankershim/Victory. With the promixiity to the noho arts district I could see this one day going back to being a rock venue. I'm sure at some point a larger music venue will open up in the noho arts district area. This area of North Hollywood has more chance for gentrification than further north on lankershim.

True, but im talking about the embracing more than just that. People always view the valley in negative ways for that reason, but you're right they're not exclusive to only the valley.
