L.A. Dopers: Do you know the Valley Village Mobile Home Park?...

… In North Hollywood?

I’m trying to find my dad, and this mobile home place in L.A. is the last address I have for him, known to be good two years ago. I have a telephone number for the site too, but it is permanently stuck on a machine message no matter what time of day I call. I’ve been trying every day this past week. Does it still exist? Might there be a Doper out there in L.A. who lives close enough to yell out to the guy who’s hopefully still in “Park 5” that his English son needs to talk to him, urgently, and could he please give me a call?

Any help/advice on this will be most gratefully received! My email address, because the one in my profile is knackered at the moment, is reuben.harris@btopenworld.com.

I can check it out, Valley Village isn’t too far from where I live. Do you have the address of the trailer park?

This site has a map (it’s just right of center near the top) and gives the following:

Valley Village Mobile Home Park
Address: 8250 Lankershim Blvd, North Hollywood, CA 91605
Telephone: (818) 767-2983

I have no idea if it’s the right one.

Hey tjblack! The address Ringo posted is exactly the correct one. I really would be in your debt forever if you could check for me that my old man’s still there and maybe get a phone number or something from him. Actually I’d be happy just to know he’s still alive!

I checked your SDMB profile and your email is listed as private… could you email me at reuben.harris@btopenworld.com ?
And of course if there’s anything I can get or send you from the UK by way of recompense, I’d be more than delighted to do that. Can I send whisky to the U.S. by post? Some other local delicacy? You name it!
