well, Ive had two companies disappear from under me, and one 'official' layoff.

but I clicked the wrong thing before reading the qualified responses.

Aww, I miss Topanga Theater.

They finally tore the building down a few years ago after it spent many years serving as various clearance houses, halloween costume shops, etc. Now there's a 2 story Crate & Barrel on the location.

Yeah, Victory is the borderline between Woodland Hills and Canoga Park. South side is Woodland Hills, north side is Canoga Park.

So Crate and Barrel would be "Canoga Park Adjacent?"

I've always had this weird mental block about N/S directions in the West Valley (I spent the first 20 year of my life in Chatsworth); I always want to think that Canoga Park is NORTH of Chatsworth and Woodland Hills being NORTH of Canoga Park. I don't know why, but in talking about this, I had the thought again.

One of those weird things I can't seem to shake.

I've always had the same perception. Partially because my childhood house faces south, so my mental map is oriented that way.

I was laid off from my first job in CA. They sold the business and reworked the office, and I was apparently redundent.
