CHERISHING OUR VALLEY 2013
Often, in very small bits, the history of the greater San Fernando Valley becomes more complete. This little promotional item, designed as a travel aid, adds to an on-going puzzle about the first name of the Tarzana community. Ralph Herman, noted South Valley historian, says that Tarzana was never called Runnymede as some claim. Yet, here again an artifact shows up with the Runnymede name.

Was "Reseda 284" a postal box?
Note that Agoura Hills was called Greenwich Village and Woodland Hills called Girard. Felix for Food was located at 18413 Ventura Boulevard. This location is in the community of Tarzana, just east of Reseda Boulevard.

I'd guess that Reseda 284 was a telephone exchange.
Greenwich Village is an old neighborhood in Thousand Oaks. It is bordered to the south by Greenwich Drive, to the north by Benson Drive, to the west by Hodencamp Drive and the Moorpark Freeway to the east. -Dean
