Talk:Sun Valley, Los Angeles

message: Scanning through different sections of the history of Roscoe, Calif. I have read that Roscoe had changed its name prior
to the 1930's, which is not true.  We lived on Remsen St. in Roscoe in the 1930's. I was born in the month of December in
Roscoe on Remsen St. in the month of  December of 1936. I do not know the year that Remsen St. was changed to Glenoaks Blvd.
I do remember though going to Sunland Park on Holloween night. And my mother going to Stonehurst Park and meeting alot of
wonderful women who joined together in the building that still stands there. I hope people have enjoyed the picture that
is posted on the wall. It is a picture of the women who went there quite often to play games, talk, knit and sew together.
The picture was taken approximately 1938. Approximately 20-25 years ago I took my father to the dentest in San Fernando
and on our way back to his home we drove east on Glenoaks Blvd. and he told me to slow down and showed me exactly where
I was born. The curbing of the driveway was still there and field of bare ground was behind it. Memories are the best
thing to remember as a child. I had 3 older sisters and I remember a swing set in our backyard. I Thank you for letting
me remember it all again and telling you my story.  Also I have lived my whole life in the valley, I remember every
school I went to and the ones I will never forget are : Riverside Dr., Camillia Ave.and Hayvenhurst Elementary, Van Nuys
Jr.High, Robert Fulton Jr.High and best of all Van Nuys High School. My fellow students were Natalie Wood, Robert Redford,
Don Drysdale, Dianne Baker, and quite a few years befor us were Marilyn Monroe and a couple other stars. 
Thank you for letting me remember my past history of the San Fernando Valley. Carole  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.22.56.122 (talk) 18:57, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

message: Unfortunately there are no sources for the history of Roscoe, which was added at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sun_Valley,_Los_Angeles&diff=next&oldid=29327672. The user who added this info has not been active recently. I've done some research into this, and I'll do some more, but it looks like a great deal of this history will have to be deleted.

replies: text: The actual figures come later in the article, and the source is given there, the Mapping L.A. project, which unfortunately is pretty old by now. BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 21:05, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

message: Roscoe was known as Roscoe in 1894 during the two train robberies, according to ML Tiernan's The Early History of Sunland, California, and also according to a great deal of research I have done. We need a source and the exact language of the claim that Roscoe was once called Roberts. Just point us in the right direction, please. Thanks. BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 06:33, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I added the source for Roscoe being called "Roberts," after the general store that stood there. BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 22:13, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Roscoe name 

message: It may be clear to map experts, but "for the city" is stated, but what city this place in, is unclear. Can somebody use the map reference from the LA Times and specify what city this place is in? Does it cross cities?
I went ahead and looked up a nearby address via a online map: "9339 Burnet Ave. Los Angeles, CA 91343". Several mapping tools claimed this was in the "City of Los Angeles", but I am not a map expert and am unsure if the area contains other cities or if it really is the City of LA or not - if someone can please check and define.
--> FYI: the source (http://www.latimes.com/includes/projects/img/mapping_la/mappingla.pdf) says this is in "The city of Angels", but again I am unsure if that means City of LA.

message: I see a comment that some history was removed due for lack of authority. I don't know what it said but I agree that there needs to be authoritive sources.
Does anyone remember Old Trappers on San Fernando next to the airport? I never went in but I should have. I assume it deserves mention.
Also, I remember cows (a dairy farm?) at the end of the runway at Vineland. I don't know if that is worth mentioning. Also, Roscoe Hardware is part of the history, right? Sam Tomato (talk) 22:36, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Also, Old Trapper's Lodge was moved to 7100 El Rancho Dr, Woodland Hills, CA 91367 in Pierce College. Sam Tomato (talk) 19:55, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: The lodge is now mentioned in the history section. For Roscoe Hardware to be included, we'd have to have sources attesting to its WP:Notability. BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 21:51, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
