relocating to los angeles: The Lang Oak - 03/20/09 10:39 AM
Every community has its stories. One of my favorite stories of Encino is that of the Lang Oak. I think it says a lot about this wonderful community. Encino is known for it large gracious oak trees, the community literally grew up around them. The largest and oldest was known as The Lang Oak, supposedly named after a rancher who once owned the area it grew on.
The Lang Oak persevered spite the inevitable growth that came to lush and lovely Encino. Just off of Ventura Boulevard on Louise Avenue, the stately tree survived countless plans which would have removed … (0 comments)
