Love it! I saw some info about this on la.curbed and they said Henry's Tacos was in North Hollywood, but it is definitely in Studio City. Anyone who wants to know the boundaries of the local communities (i.e. Studio City, Sherman Oaks, NoHo, etc.) should check out www.LAcouncilMaps.com

If Henry's Tacos has been in Studio City for fifty years, why do their T-shirts say North Hollywood?

Who cares!? Studio City originally was North Hollywood. Neighborhoods starting with the zip code 916... were originally North Hollywood.

Yes, and Todd did a great piece on this very topic that my colleague in North Hollywood's Patch and I are always discussing... http://patch.com/B-sCv The fuzzy borders of No Ho and Studio City

And the Starlight Room next door has a North Hollywood address from the ABC, seen here:
http://www.abc.ca.gov/datport/LQSData.asp?ID=19190251 Likewise, the former 81/2 Taverna is also listed as being in North Hollywood. Ultimately, all mail in the 91604 zip code is processed through the main North Hollywood postal center. Similarly, mail from Sherman Oaks zip codes processes through the Van Nuys Center.

I owned The Pedal Shop a few doors away and would get free broken taco shell and salsa from them and the kids and I ate them for lunch
We heated the shells on a little heater turned on its back. Thank You Henrys Thanks for the free lunch.

Todd, that area was North Hollywood until the late 80s when real estate agents thought that Studio City sounded more exclusive, so they started applying SC to anything south of the freeway. Prior to then, you had to be west of Tujunga to be in Studio City. The Oakwood School (which I attended) is in North Hollywood, and has been since the 1950s. Our house on Valley Spring Lane was in North Hollywood. We had the original blue prints and copies of the permits. They say North Hollywood.

Even Walter Reed Middle School has a North Hollywood address... don't get me started!

Hey Larry, it's Heidi! Didn't know you knew about the Patch! Say hi to Marlene and have her give me a call! We love Henry's too, if just for the nostalgia.

Dear tbs, Deon Coles black box is the worst tv show ever. Though it is hosted by a black man, it'sRead More a show based on pointing fun and rude Racist jokes directed toward black people. If there was a white host it would be considered racist but because a black man was appointed to be host , you might have figured we wouldn't be offended but we are and I can't speak for all but I feel like resist jokes aren't ok regardless of who is telling them and I would like tbs to take down this show or atleast change the points in the show ! -signed, Kalil Stimpson
