[edit] Misreading Thomas Guide

In regards to the disputed boundaries, Thomas Guide is NOT "inaccurate," but neither does it show the northern boundary of Valley Village as Magnolia Blvd. Thomas Guide does not claim to show definite boundaries of neighborhoods within the City of Los Angeles, just general areas. Thomas Guide just happens to print the words "Valley Village" south of Magnolia Ave on the page, but there are no boundary lines. It also prints the words "North Hollywood" north of Burbank Blvd on the page. That would leave a "no-mans land" between Magnolia and Burbank Blvd, which is obviously not the case. The dividing line between the two is simply not clearly demarcated. Indeed, Valley Village defines its own northern boundary as Burbank Blvd.

[edit] Do not Merge

Do _not_ merge with North Hollwood. Would make refering from outside to WP more difficult. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 12:53, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] East and West.

I've already corrected the errors, no offence, but I think whoever wrote where it is compared to other valley neighborhoods got east confused with north.

[edit] Actually

Actually, Valley Village is west of North Hollywood. I should know, I live here in Valley Village, and if I take any east-west street (like Burbank, Chandler, Magnolia) eastward, then I arrive at North Hollywood (which used to be called Lankershim, and is arguably centered around Lankershim Blvd.). Therefore, I reverted your edit. --Rachack 06:55, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Okay, but

You are right except for the fact that Valley Village's northern boundary is Magnolia Blvd., therefore, when you thought you were in Valley Village you are already in North Hollywood. That's what my Thomas Guide says.

[edit] But really,

But really your Thomas guide is probably outdated and inaccurate. The official site of the NCVV says: "Valley Village is located north of Los Angeles in the beautiful San Fernanado Valley. We are a small community (22,000 residents) EAST of the Tujunga Wash, NORTH of the Ventura (101) Freeway, WEST of the Hollywood (170) Freeway and SOUTH of Burbank Boulevard." --Rachack 04:57, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
