message: I've lived in Los Feliz for 18 years and I have never once heard any of the residents call the Hollywood Hills "The Hills". In addition, simply calling the Hollywood Hills "The hills" is insufficient information. I've also never heard anyone call Los Feliz Boulevard "The Boulevard". I am going to edit these two "as the natives call it", because they appear to be the opinion of the native who wrote this article.CaTigeReptile 12:47, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

C'mon.  That's a mite snobbish.  That effectively dumps nearly every retail outlet in Los Feliz, including the Post Office and the Library.
Hollywood Boulevard maybe, Sunset fer sure. (That's like a block or two, depending on the North/South street.  Hollywood peters into Prospect - the old timey name for Hollywood Boulevard.)
The bars listed are Los Feliz sure as shootin. (Hyperion and Tiki Ti?  Iffy.  Probably originally listed because of the cachet Los Feliz had before Silver Lake started to become fashionable [before Double Two certain European types immigrated there - was known as the Swish Alps].  However, they are within staggering distance of Los Feliz proper.)  And yes, the Drawing Room is a dive bar.  Seen the carpet lately?  Its so rotted and worn, I haven't seen it in years.  Just because we have jingle in our pockets doesn't mean we have to be fancy.
I haven't edited.  This entry has been seriously messed with. I oughta take y'all to a Los Feliz Lion's Club meeting. Wiki: It just gets laughable sometimes.  Take it from a local yokel, Los Feliz doesn't end at Franklin Ave.
Uhh...nonetheless, it may be wise to reconsider that slang.  "South of the Boulevard" in Encino and environs refers to Ventura Blvd., of course.  "The Boulevard" in Los Angeles parlance often means Santa Monica Blvd., Hollywood, and usually denotes its vices.  Please note the Jackson Browne song "On the Boulevard" about pathos for some of its sad participants.  
One notes that every burg and bump in the US has people in it who are proud that they have one line of descent that has stuck to the place for usually about 100 years max.  (Sometimes it means they couldn't afford to move to someplace better.)  In Europe, such notions are absent, although the number of years can exceed 450.  Oh, well, peace to all.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kdmoss (talk • contribs) 22:27, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Per Wikipedia:WikiProject_Cities/Guideline, I am splitting out the large list of famous residents into their own article. A place like Los Feliz with a large number of notable residents needs the factual content of the article to not be overtaken by a giant list of names. The sub article is linked from the section header still. Mfield (talk) 06:58, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

The LA Times recently ran stories in many newspapers about the Perelson murder house in Los Feliz, in the 2400 block of Glendower Place. Its been vacant since 1959. Anybody else heard about this? For what its worth, the Ennis House is right behind it. --24.21.148.155 (talk) 21:32, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

message: I do not agree with the statement that "los Felix" is nonstandard when used in connection with a family name. The reference at spanishdict.com tells how to pluralize "feliz" the word, not "Felix" the surname. In my experience from living in a couple of Spanish-speaking countries, it is indeed standard to refer to "los Felix" or "los Gómez" or "los Sepúlveda." Examples are easy to find and include "De repente, los Gómez", a Spanish television series, and many place names (in Sinaloa, there is a "Palmar de los Sepúlveda", a "Palmar de los Fonseca", and a "Palmar de los Leal").
