Well removed from LA proper, Chatsworth is its own entity. As late as the 1980s, it was quite rural; it was home to Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, and the setting for countless western flicks, classic and otherwise. But it’s kept up with the times: Charles Manson and his homicidal minions camped at Spahn Ranch, and Chatsworth is now the world’s epicenter of porn. Look for spray-tans and implants at the local Ralph’s.
