POP CULTURE, :
l.a. media outlets have a way of telling valley stories with a discovery channel kind of flavor: ''we just peeked over the santa monica mountains... and surprisingly, we found a community of primitive people living there'' ... it's fitting somehow, in this may 20 feature on how ''almost hip'' the valley is, the sole reseda reference is to a skateboarder's run-in with a minor star. to men of a certain age, reseda was only known as where the skatepark was. now in this litigious era, it's a business that only municipalities can afford. hence, the nearby skatepark is reseda-adjacent, in balboa park.
''...acquit an unshaven C. Thomas Howell of criminal charges stemming from a confrontation with a Reseda skateboarder.''
