Zip Code Controversy!

At least one reader thinks that house on Margate (see comment in post below) really is in Sherman Oaks. The commenter says that Sherman Oaks cuts off at Burbank. Which would mean that 91401 is half in Sherman Oaks and half in Van Nuys. Which is silly, really. As far as I'm concerned there are two Sherman Oaks zip codes: 91423 and 91403. Check out their cutoffs below.



Nevertheless, apparently the post office will recognize a few homes in 91401 as Sherman Oaks (using their address look up tool). Any of you Valley politicos reading this who care to share the city council history on this naming convention -- please feel free to do so in the comments. Or if you just want to wax poetic about your thoughts on Valley neighborhoods: hey, it's a free country. Knock yourself out!
