It’s rare to experience anything like a white Christmas in Toluca Lake, but hearing past neighborhood resident Bing Crosby croon about dreaming of a holiday “just like the ones I used to know” reminds us of all of our community’s beloved seasonal traditions, which add up to decades of treasured memories. In introduction to our new issue, publisher Mark Deitch reflects on our local celebrations and the spirit they represent.

Founded in 1920, the upscale Hollywood Country Club — located, despite its name, in Studio City — remained in operation for only 18 years and is long forgotten today, but its lush facilities and grounds drew attention to the area and turned it into coveted real estate. The Mission Revival clubhouse shown here was formerly a mansion belonging to William F. Holt, the developer known as “the Father of the Imperial Valley.” (Photo courtesy of Security Pacific National Bank Collection/Los Angeles Public Library.)
