One more thing!

Okay, maybe two more things. I forgot to mention another component to my "journey"- I am staying local and looking for my perfect meal in my hometown of Panorama City; to make it a little more convenient for myself, I am joining Panorama City and Arleta together just to give myself more options. And just for kicks, I have decided to compare my findings in Panorama City/Arleta to my findings in the neighboring city of Sherman Oaks!

A little background information on the two areas:

• Panorama City/Arleta: Panorama City is located in San Fernando Valley and is historically known as the first planned city by Henry J. Kaiser. The demographics show that the majority of the residents are of Latino background (seen as "Other" in the chart), followed closely by Asian/Pacific Islander. Income levels show that the median income is roughly around $35,000 (Panorama City Demographics). Arleta, originally a part of Pacoima, shows similar statistics, as seen in the second set of pie charts (Arleta Demographics). 

• Sherman Oaks- Although Sherman Oaks is only a mere 6.6 miles away from the Panorama City/Arleta area, it displays very different demographics- the majority of the population is white (Sherman Oaks Demographics), and the median income is a little over $60,000 (Sherman Oaks Neighborhood Profile).
