I lived in Woodland Hills from 1958 to 1968 and I really like your history videos such as this one about Encino and also the videos you made about the history of Woodland Hills and Tarzana. Things were really different in the 1950s compared to now. There was no Warner Center. There were lots of pumpkin fields where buildings are now in the area east of Topanga Canyon Blvd between Ventura Blvd and the Ventura freeway. Calabasas was not built up much at all. Fortunately Stoney Point looks the same although the areas surrounding Stoney Point has changed immensely. The 118 freeway did not exist at all. To get to Simi Valley we had to drive on Santa Susanna Pass Road. Please keep those history videos coming. Thanks for taking the time to document all these aspects of the Valley.
I really enjoyed your documentary about Encino! Never knew of the lake, or the tree, glad that they preserved a portion of it. My younger brother was born in Encino. I like your use of the maps, to give a birds eye view. Myself, growing up in the 1960's, when I think of Encino, and being a car fan, I think of Ralph Williams Ford, on Ventura Blvd. My mom bought a 1963 T-Bird from his dealership. It was big news when Clark Gable died, I remember my parents talking about that, and I was about 3 years old!

Ralph Williams and Cal Worthington were all over TV with their commercials in the 1960s and -70s.

Brad Bell, with the introduction of the history of Encino, and going to some of its sites, made this an interesting Video!
Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
