San Fernando Valley

The San Fernando Valley is an urbanized valley in southern California, lying mostly within the city limits of Los Angeles.

Economy

The Valley is home to numerous companies, the most well-known of which are involved in motion pictures, recording, and television production (including CBS Studio Center, NBC, Universal Studios, Walt Disney Pictures, and Warner Brothers Studios). The Valley was previously known for stellar advances in aerospace technology by companies such as Lockheed, Rocketdyne, and Marquardt which helped put man on the moon and armed the modern military. Most of these enterprises have since disappeared or moved on to regions with friendlier political climates.

The Valley is also home to a multi-billion dollar pornography industry. Local news coverage strongly indicates that the Valley's porn industry is a fallback career option for both hapless runaways and aspiring amateur actors who come to Los Angeles with hopes of becoming a movie star, and are unsuccessful. Some industry observers jokingly refer to it as "San Pornando Valley".
