Not as many homes were lit up in 2025, whereas ALL homes were not only lit up but super decorated back then. Plus, I noticed a fair amount of homes either have walls or shrubs blocking the street views, and it just wasn't amazing as I recall from my youth. There were a few really cool homes, but only a few. There was one that I REALLY liked, but I couldn't capture a good picture of it, but that's on me. The rest were just okay.

This monthly block party draws out the creatives that you didn't know were next door. They play music of all styles from sidewalk stages and hidden parking lots, create gorgeous graffiti installations before your eyes, serve you snacks from food trucks, and show off unique pieces and products. Kids color, groups walk, talk and admire, and those who are really feeling the music dance or hula hoop along. It's as unexpected as it is necessary- a dose of artsy, grassroots community amid the sprawling sleepy burbs.

From restaurants, recreation center, to shopping ~ it's just a walking distance. Hospitals and Urgent Care are within the area like 2-5 miles away.

This dojo is always changing especial senseis and even though they push you to beyond your limit,…read moreyou definitely learn some valuable lessons here and when to walk away. The mantra to show "No Mercy" is to treat someone with extreme harshness which echoes outside of martial arts, that leaves a stain on the soul. John Krease is truly unhinged, but sensei-Lawrence has fight and heart and brought balance to the dojo in a powerful way - but his struggles as a former student turned karate master definitely lead him on a better path. Mixing a splash of Miyagi-Do (the rival dojo)... "when the fight comes to you, you have to be ready to fight back..."... Johnny Lawrence cares and wants you to excel to the best of your ability in all areas of life which is what a true sensei should be and demonstrate, because karate isn't just a form of self defense it's a way of life. And while I've walked away after the All Valley incident pre-2020 as have others... I will never forget Cobra Kai never dies.

What can I say about Granada Hills? A futures past blended in with futures present... A mostly laid…read morepark city with a fair amount of things to do and enjoy including the Regency Theater which sits on the borders of North Hills and Grenada Hills. There are great places to dine such as Good Pho You one of my favorite Pho spots in Los Angeles! Salavation Army massive, Target yes, Trarer Joe's sometimes... Despite being a location with a huge parking lot the Grenada Hills TJ will have you scratching your head at times, but the service will turn that confusion into a positive illusion until you leave. Granada Hills has good schools and nice parks and all the things you could need including vintage fashion, late night dinners via IHOP and Danny's, multiple shopping centers and tons of food not to mention some patches green pastures like a lot of the San Fernando Valley... Though sitting closer to the mountain side you definitely get more plant life and nature in G.H. There is an abundance of street parking compared to most cities as this city is a lot more residential in pockets and parts, while still having plenty to take in and enjoy. I definitely found myself passing through and shopping about here more before 2020 and even now... Especially in my college years near CSUN, only a few short minutes North West of this pleasantville.

The dining room feels dated and worn out, booth's vinyl seats were peeling badly, which isn't the most comfortable or appetizing look. I came really wanting the beef kebab, but they were already out. I went with the chapli kebab instead, and it was actually pretty tasty, well-seasoned and flavorful, though it packed more heat than I was expecting. Spice lovers might enjoy it, but it was a bit much for my personal taste. My husband ordered the meat lover pizza and gave it a very "meh" review. He said it was just okay, but mentioned the meats tasted different from what you'd get at a typical pizza place, not necessarily bad, just a little unusual and not really what he was craving. Overall, the food was decent, but between the run-down atmosphere, the missing menu item, and the just-okay pizza, it felt like a miss. Might give it another shot for that chapli kebab if I'm in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way.

Following this experience, it is clear that Michael is the best muralist in Los Angeles!! Michael met with me on short notice on a Sunday afternoon to review the space. Following our initial meeting, Michael and the wonder that is Vivache Designs agreed to meet personally with the client in order to create a custom Art Mural like none other in Downtown Los Angeles. Upon meeting with my client, Michael spent time, multiple sessions, getting to know my client and his inner desires and thoughts. This connection with my client went well beyond the average Muralist, and it allowed the two to connect on a level that would assure the most exquisite outcome, and Vivache Designs outdid all of our expectations. The amazing Mural art that Michael created in a timely manner using the highest quality materials and techniques serve as more than a conversation piece, they have become a daily inspiration for my client. I will no doubt call upon Michael and Vivache Designs for all of my future personal and professional artistic and Mural needs. There is no one better, in my and my clients opinion. My only regret is that the piece is not open for public view. Thank You!!!!

I honestly think they have the best deep dish pizza, better than the spots in Chicago. The flavors blend so well together and as heavy as each slice is, I find myself going back for more and more until I can't stuff myself anymore. The Alfredo chicken deep dish pizza is a must order. The garlic bread is also pretty good. They give complimentary garlic bread when you dine in. Service is excellent. The workers there are kind and helpful. The restaurant has some seating but is on the smaller end. There is street parking out in front. Would highly recommend!

The city of Chatsworth is a surprising one. It's got some great hidden gems like Chatsworth Park…read moreSouth (North needs some love), Artvanta Art Museum (which needs some Yelp love ;) #AddABusiness if you've been) and Hand-Brewed Beer (just refreshing for craft brew enthusiasts). And a lot of familiar chains like Ralph's, Dollar Tree, Vons, Trader Joe's, Grocery Outlet (my fav), Del Taco (fast food taco king in the SFV) and one of the cleanest Burger Kings I've set foot inside more than once. The Anytime Fitness (so nice, clean and full of wonderful people) is just above the Chatsworth Metrolink station where you can also connect with several city and local busses as well as the Metro G Orange Line for the San Fernando Valley. Like all cities there is some grime, grit, graffiti (though not as much) and interesting characters, but also some charm and history. They have several public and private schools (almost 50/50) including Chatsworth High School which has a ton of notable alumni including Alex Borstein, Kirk Cameron, Lori Beth Denberg, basketball player Dwight Evans... and even Mr. CrossFit himself Greg Glassman. In terms of living and housing it's a little more on the secluded side in parts as most residences are in small neighborhoods and communities. It's not as cost affordable though you can possible find a nice spacious studio under $2K, but you're looking at much more for a 1 bedroom and up for an apartment, condo or townhome.... though Northridge, which borders Chatsworth has some more reasonable property being a college city (CSUN). I had a friend who lived up near the Garden of the Gods (trails and additional local flavor) and the old infamous Iverson Movie Ranch I'd visit a lot and got to see a lot of this city I never knew with some beautiful views. It's easy to drive, cruise and take it all in. You can enjoy some good cuisines including Indian, Vegan, Thai, Japanese, Comfort, American, Mexican and numerous others. Vegan My Thai is a must, Woodlands on Topanga Canyon Blvd has an incredible Indian Buffet and Paint with A Twist (a paint and sip creative space) is high up on my must try list. Topanga Nursery is great for plant enthusiast as well as Paradise Nursery, which lives up to its name and known more so for it's incredible fruit trues (planting + delivery services are available). For entertainment you have the California Conservatory of Performing Arts, Harley's Valley Bowl in Simi Valley... not to far away from the Santa Susana Depot/Railroad Museum plus local Magician and DJs for your party bliss or pop-up events pleasure. The closest movie theaters are the AMC Northridge, AMC Porter Ranch or Regency Granada Hills, but non directly in the city itself... for night/barlife you have more laidback or niche fun like the Cowboy Palace Saloon, The Rabbit Hole (technically in West Hills), 818 Brewery (Canoga Park), Olive & Fig (which borders West Hills, Canoga Park and Chatsworth) and a few others including several dive bar and venues, which can sometimes surprise you much like the city of Chatsworth itself.
