Suddenly, under the cover of darkness, the big, bad County of Los Angeles came along and changed everything. They didn't even have the guts to do it in broad daylight. Never mind that San Fernando was despised by the locals as much then as it is now. The county didn't care. It didn't end there.
Nobody knows for sure.
But the effect was clear. No longer were we our own little self-contained community. Now we were an insignificant, far-off fiefdom in the hinterlands of the vast County of Los Angeles. You see, there actually IS a pattern to our house numbers. The Saugus Cafe, for instance, is at 25861 North San Fernando Road.
