The horse's name was Queenie. She needed a royal path to trot on. That's the story I heard, anyway. I wouldn't know how to source that story, though.

I removed the reference to contamination from the SSFL being in Simi Valley. While this is a claim that some have made, there is no objective evidence that any contamination from the operations at SSFL have ever made it to Simi Valley, nor effected residents of Simi Valley, simply from just living there. There has been some chemical and tritium contamination verified past the borders of the SSFL property but these area are not in the City of Simi Valley and therefore the Health and Hazards of living in Simi Valley should not be miligned by this allegation. Just trying to keep the record straight.... 17:08, 11 August 2007 (UTC)rktnomad17:08, 11 August 2007 (UTC)~
Hazards - the recent entry: "While most of Ventura County is known for its mild year-round climate, Simi Valley has a similar climate to that of the San Fernando Valley. This means extreme summer heat alternates with milder winters" seems to be in the wrong category (suggest creating "Climate") and using verbiage that is debatable (_extreme_ summer heat). More useful would be information on average temperature, rainfall, trends, etc.
Simi Valley was not "the location of the infamous Rodney King trial that sparked riots in Los Angeles in 1992." This statement is only partialy true. It was the location of the trial for the OFFICERS that were accused of beating Rodney King. The trial was located there because the media had saturated the Los Angeles area to the point that the officers lawyers were not confident that they would recieve a fair trial. They chose Ventura county as the original location but the Ventura County Courthouses were too far from Los Angeles. Conveniently, the new East Ventura County Courthouse in Simi Valley had just been finished so it was decided to locate the trial there.
The aquittal of the officers on April 29, 1992 was the spark that started the riots.
I know this because I lived in Simi Valley.
A more accurate way to rewrite this sentence would be to say "the location of the infamous Los Angeles Police Officers' (Rodney King Beating) Trials that sparked riots in Los Angeles on April 29, 1992."
I changed the east to west under In film, in reference to the Cat in the Hat movie. I live in West Simi, and it was next to my house. Also, The Benchwarmers was filmed in East Simi, but I don't know how much of it was. In addition, I believe that The Lone Ranger had some sequences filmed in East Simi, but have only heard this, and do not know if this is correct. - signed by anon IP
This now-16-year-old actor(famous for ABC's Complete Savages and currently of " Cory in the House") is a Simi Valley native...please include him under the Famous Residents category/listing... Michaela92399 03:24, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
Someone keeps DELETING Simi Valley as Jason's birthplace and replacing it w/ "Los Angeles";please stop!...not EVERY celebrity is/was born in(or still lives in) Los Angeles!... Michaela92399 ( talk) 03:43, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
The Cascade tunnel is longer, and was completed sooner. See Cascade Tunnel LorenzoB ( talk) 23:02, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
One of the sources cited for the claim actually states that the tunnel connecting the San Fernando Valley to the Santa Clara Valley was the longest tunnel when it was completed in 1876. Someone has confused this tunnel with the Santa Susana Tunnel. The Claim that Tunnel 26 was at one time the longest in the USA should be deleted.
This source seems to say that one pronunciation is historically correct, but the other has become more common. I don't think that Wikipedia should decide on one or the other. At a minimum we should say that both are used. If we want to write a paragraph explaining the two pronunciations then that'd be OK too. Any other thoughts?

Is there any connection between the Half Life 1 mod The Specialists user-made map "Simi Valley" by Rickler and the actual Simi Valley? I was wondering if the game map was modeled after the city's blueprint.
