A Part of Van Nuys Wants Out from Cara Loebs on Vimeo.

The neighborhood of Van Nuys located in the heart of Los Angeles’ San Fernando Valley has been picked apart—piece by piece—in order to form other neighborhoods. Usually when this happens the part of Van Nuys that wants out forms a new community with a new name. But, a section of Van Nuys between Burbank, Oxnard and Sepulveda boulevards and Hazeltine Avenue, does not want to form a new community—they want to be a part of an existing one: the neighboring Sherman Oaks.
