Our Whitnall Hwy walk was five miles long so of course we saw more than just power towers.Hollywood Way has some interesting businesses. We usually end a walk with a Taco, but this was in the middle and the competing signs didn’t encourage us to cross the street.
Reflected in this business is our Taco Stand.Now that is a good name for an animation company. Right next door to The Animation Guild.
I have often seen this design on the side of the building while driving by, walking by I got a closer look as well as being informed that it’s the Animators guilds’ building. The cartoonish look makes much more sense now.
I need to check out this Furniture/Knick-knack store.
Aytan and I have visited the model Train store often.If you have small children, it’s a great visit, they have a play area with a large track full of Thomas Trains. And yes, I have bought items here, I don’t just use it as a free play area.
This area of Burbank and North Hollywood are home to many small businesses that support the larger film industry.Not sure that tower ever gets rented out.
Also, don’t know the significance of the musical cows on the side of this building. There are about five of them.Quite worn out, they have been here a long time.
There is a sign on this building that states since 1954, it looks like a Church, but I don’t think it is one anymore.Along the way we met local residentsThere were also many people out, enjoying their yards, riding bikes, putting up Christmas decorations.
North Hollywood is one of the older Valley neighborhoods and therefore has a very eclectic collection of homes. This one could be 80 or 90 years old. It may have been the home for a farm, this was farm country after all.It is old, the stone pillars on the driveway indicate that this was an ‘important’ home. The Clapboard and the rounded window are not new elements. Today there is a modern garage, I’d really love to know the history of this.
Across the street is a classic Midcentury Modern.If this were anywhere else, it would be a very expensive home. But most people who want to live in such a home, don’t want to live in this neighborhood. Well not exactly, I could see some young hipsters who would love both the neighborhood and the home. The North part of North Hollywood is beginning to become a gentrified area.
