The NoHo Arts District,
located in North Hollywood in the San Fernando Valley,
became a "LANI neighborhood" in 1994. Through
the hard work of community stakeholders in partnership
with LANI and the Community Redevelopment Agency, NoHo
has transformed from a thoroughfare dotted with vacant
lots to a burgeoning theater district with coffee shops,
restaurants and eclectic retail. In June 2000, the terminal
Metro Red Line subway station opened within walking
distance of this blossoming neighborhood main street. |
