San Fernando Valley

Sorry, but no

logoI like Encino. Oak-shaded streets, some nice restaurants and oozing with Valley and Hollywood history. The impetus to spruce up Ventura Boulevard is a good one. I can even live with the bogus label of "Encino Commons" for the stretch between Balboa and White Oak. But this slogan being promoted on street banners is wrong in so many ways.
