A New Look For Hills Of Woodland

Written by Girard on January 1, 2010 - 0 Comments
Categories: General Administration

I switched over to a new theme/design for Hills of Woodland today because the old one didn’t work correctly in Apple’s Safari Browser or Google Chrome.  I’ll be tweaking it and fine tuning it for a few more days.  Carry on.

As part of my ongoing Best Burger roundup, many people have tossed out the name Fatburger to me as having great burgers.  I have been to Fatburger once or twice in the past, and I do remember the burgers being good.  However, I also remember the prices being pretty high for ‘fast food’ burgers.

That being said, I’ll do anything for the blog so I headed over to the Fatburger in Gateway Plaza (21911 Ventura Blvd.) to check out the offerings.  I even ate inside, which I normally never do in Gateway Plaza as every establishment there is typically filled with various forms of drug addicted homeless degenerate scum.

I mozied up to the register and ordered myself a “Large” Fatburger A/K/A Kingburger with the optional cheese upgrade.  “Large” yields you an 8 oz burger, on par with others that I’ve ordered to review here.  And while 8 oz is certainly larger than most fast food burgers, it does come with a slightly larger price tag at $5.49.  Tack on $0.99 for cheese and you end up with a  total for your burger of $6.48.

Price aside, the burger they deliver up is actually pretty darn delicious.  I got it with “The Works” which includes “Mayo, Mustard, Relish, Lettuce, Pickle ,Tomato, and Onions).  I have to say I love the flavor of the pickles and the relish was pretty good, too.

I think I could definitely find myself craving another Fatburger in the future.  Although, I might order ahead and take it home as they do take a pretty long while to cook up their burgers, and like I said, Gateway Plaza is full of degenerates.

Well, as some of you might remember an auto accident took out the California Chicken Cafe sign in  Woodland Hills on November 27th (Black Friday). See my previous pictures here. Last week, a new sign went up replacing the damaged one.  The above pictures are of the sign on October 15th (from an exclusive HillsOfWoodland.com file photo) and of the new sign today, January 1, 2010.  Enjoy.

P.S. I know this is just about the most exciting boring post ever.  Stuff like this interests me for some strange  reason.

Way back on October 6, 2009 I made a post about the closing of the Shell station at 20900 Ventura Blvd.  About a month ago, I noticed that it had reopened so I dropped in and asked the attendant why they were closed.  He told me that the station changed ownership, and that’s why it was closed.

Above you’ll find a few pictures of the reopened station, which had a little bit of a light display this holiday season.

It would seem that all the drama surrounding the end of the “car shows” in the parking lot of Village Coffee Roaster has finally choked the life out of the local business.  According to the workers of the neighboring Subway shop, they closed about 2 or 3 weeks ago.

A sign posted on the door notes that you can still buy their coffee at VillageCoffeeRoaster.com.
