"My Museum - My Story"
The San Fernando Valley is often referred to as a "car culture". How has the individual automobile influenced our way of life over the years? What are today's transportation issues, how does public transportation influence the economy and the quality of our lives? How does a hookah bar in a Woodland Hills mall within steps of a bagel shop, relate to the changing demographics of our Valley? From the price of gasoline in North Hills to Sally Field's role in the film Lincoln, history is being made every day in the Valley before our very eyes.
