If you were to find Starlite Mobile Home Park, you would probably either be lost, or in search of one of the many junkyards that line Branford Street in Pacoima, CA. Looking from the outside in, you would definitely feel that this place is right where it belongs. There is no grass to be seen, and across the street there is a dump.
Michael Krikorian tells us of the life of these 41 trailers that make up this park. Each individual trailer is amazingly neatly kept, with residents that probably know one another by name. Children can be found playing games and ride bikes along the main road, while Dads wash their cars.
This is a community that sticks together, and really gives all its residents a feeling of "home." There are no gangs to worry about unlike other sections of the San Fernando Valley. Kids are allowed to go out and play, without making the parents ill-at-ease. Everyone sticks together, and gives a real meaning of a community.
Funny enough this "eyesore" has caught the eye of Hollywood, being featured in the movie, "Pulp Fiction."
