San Fernando Valley

OVER THE HILL: Could the San Fernando Valley’s own Fashion Square in Sherman Oaks be guilty of Valley bashing? You decide.

Their new ads, featured on three billboards, invite shoppers to visit Fashion Square, where they will find “a little bit of the Westside in the Valley.” Does that imply that the Westside offers the penultimate shopping experience while Valley slugs soldier on with pastel polyester?

Marketing director Michele Mason apparently thinks not. She says the ads are not meant to diss the Valley.
