Although this particular spot is on Ventura is rather bland and uninteresting, I can assure you this neighborhood certainly isn’t blue collar. This is on the western edge of Woodland Hills which is some middle, and more so upper middle class to wealthy.
I live about an 1/2 mile from this stretch of Ventura Blvd and pass it every day. If you go a few blocks east, you will have your Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Sprouts, Starbucks, Coffee Beans, Lexus, Porche, Lamborghini dealerships and just about any type of fancy restaurant, and bar/lounges you can think of from every ethnic background. It is really only a small stretch thats like this, there is a lot of money in the mist of this spot.
I will admit for Woodland Hills to be such an exclusive area, the portion of Ventura Blvd running through here is rather ugly. By the way I live near those highrise buildings to the left in that scene. That’s the Warner Center which is a major business district in the west valley.
