(CLAIR) – Simi Valley is home to one of the happiest streets in Ventura County – Happy Lane! This cozy cul-de-sac is known for its tranquil, family-friendly vibe, where residents have formed a tight-knit community that’s brimming with warmth and positivity.
Recently, on social media, neighbors reminisced about their famous street name and the antics that come with it. You see, the street sign on Happy Lane has a habit of going missing – time and time again! Ventura County would put up a regular street sign, and in a blink of an eye, someone would whisk it away.
But do you know what? The residents of Happy Lane are a resilient bunch. Rather than feeling defeated, they found a way to turn this silly situation into something that brings the neighborhood together. They created their own homemade sign, which they put up whenever the original one goes missing.
This homemade sign has become a bit of a legend among the locals. It may not have the same polished look as the official ones, but it’s a testament to the community spirit and creativity that’s alive and well on Happy Lane. It’s not unusual to see passersby stop and snap a photo of the famous homemade sign.
Of course, there are still times when the homemade sign gets swiped, but that doesn’t get the Happy Lane residents down. Instead, they just make another one. You could say the street sign thefts have become a quirk of the neighborhood – something that keeps the residents talking.
An interesting fact is that Happy Lane is a rather popular name for a city street. There are Happy Lanes in 42 states. Several states, like California, have Happy Lanes in multiple cities. These include Los Angeles and Sacramento, to name a few.
