Sherman Oaks is a mostly-suburban neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley. In the 1980s, it was widely associated with the Valley Girl subculture thanks in large part to the Sherman Oaks Galleria -- which figured into the films "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" and "Valley Girl," the song "Valley Girl," and "Val" culture. I explored it for my series, "California Fool's Gold" in 2010. https://ericbrightwell.com/2010/07/16/california-fools-gold-exploring-sherman-oaks/

Yes, yes he is.

Calabasas

The San Fernando Valley, known locally simply as 'The Valley,' is an urbanized area in Los Angeles County, California. Situated to the north of the Los Angeles Basin, it contains a large portion of the City of Los Angeles, as well as several unincorporated areas; and the incorporated cities of Burbank, Calabasas, Glendale, Hidden Hills, and San Fernando. Much in the same way that New Yorkers bag on New Jersey, the San Fernando Valley gets dumped on by those who live in the Los Angeles Basin. Reasons range from "there's no culture" and "it's too damn hot," to "it's too far away" and "everyone who lives there is lame." This '80s 'Nuke The Valley' design was a popular one that L.A. Basin dwellers could be found wearing with pride.

Founded in 1781, and incorporated in 1850, Los Angeles (Spanish for 'The Angels'), is the largest city in the state of California. It has a population of roughly 3.9 million as of 2020, and is the second-largest city in the United States after New York City. Los Angeles is known for its Mediterranean climate, ethnic and cultural diversity, Hollywood film industry, and sprawling metropolitan area. The city of Los Angeles lies in a basin in Southern California, adjacent to the Pacific Ocean, extending through the Santa Monica Mountains and into the San Fernando Valley. It covers about 469 square miles and is the seat of Los Angeles County, which is the most populous county in the United States with an estimated 9.86 million as of 2022.

There are many, many stories in the 818. This is one of them. Ultimately a web series, 818 Story will first be put out as a Light (Illustrated) Novel.

They are out there. And their intentions are not clear.

Do you wear your sunglasses indoors? I do, but only because they're prescription. Feeling that purple wolf kinda vibe? Let everyone know. Feeling shady.
