Line 1: '''Rob Brown''' (born on [[April 10]], [[1968]] in [[Kingston, Ontario\|Kingston]], [[Ontario]], [[Canada]]) is a former [[professional]] [[ice hockey]] [[Winger (ice hockey)\|right wing]] who played in the [[National Hockey League]] for eleven seasons between [[1987-88 NHL season\|1987-88]] and [[1999-00 NHL season\|1999-00]]. ~~'''Tujunga''' ([[IPA]]: [təˈhʌŋgə]) is a district in the far northern reaches of the City of [[Los Angeles, California]].~~ Brown was drafted 67th overall by the [[Pittsburgh Penguins]] in the [[1986 NHL Entry Draft]]. His best statistical NHL season was the [[1988-89 NHL season\|1988-89 season]], when he played on a line with [[Mario Lemieux]]; he set career highs with 49 goals, 66 assists, 115 points, 24 power play goals, 6 game-winning goals, and a +27 plus/minus rating. Tujunga is the northeasternmost portion of the [[San Fernando Valley]], but it actually is in the [[Crescenta Valley]]. It is bounded by the cities of [[Burbank, California\|Burbank]] to the southwest, [[Glendale, California\|Glendale]] to the south and La Crescenta to the east, the Los Angeles district of [[Sunland, Los Angeles, California\|Sunland]] to the west, and the [[San Gabriel Mountains]] to the north. Mount Gleason Avenue separates it from Sunland. It is served by the [[Foothill Freeway]], which connects it to central Los Angeles (via the [[Glendale Freeway]]) and the [[San Gabriel Valley]]. ==Career statistics== Tujunga was originally home to the [[Tongva]] tribe and later became a ranching area. In 1907 M.V. Hartranft founded a [[utopian socialism\|socialist utopian]] colony in Tujunga based on the principles of the Utopianist cooperative farm movement, led by the social philosopher and communist organizer William Ellsworth Smythe. The movement had previously had success in establishing colonies in [[San Ysidro, San Diego, California\|San Ysidro]] and [[Idaho]]. Due to the Utopianists' slogan "A Little Land and a Lot of Living," they became known as the "Little Landers." A community center built from local river rock, Bolton Hall (named after author [[Bolton Hall]]), was dedicated in August, 1913, and still stands as an historical monument and museum operated by the Little Landers Historical Society. The cooperative ended by 1920, and the city was annexed by the City of Los Angeles in 1932. {\| BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="3" CELLSPACING="0" ID="Table3" \|- ALIGN="center" bgcolor="#e0e0e0" !

Its 1,500 foot elevation and geographic isolation from the San Fernando Valley and the [[Los Angeles Basin]] frees it from the [[air pollution]] that is a problem in many other parts of [[Greater Los Angeles]]. Because of this it attracted many asthmatics early on. [[Coronet (magazine)\|Coronet magazine]] once called Tujunga "the most healthy place in the world." Some of the scenes of the film ''[[E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial\|E.T.]]'' were shot in one area of Tujunga, making particularly effective the movie's focus on a suburban residential lifestyle in contrast to mountain scenery. {{end box}} [[Category:1968 births\|Brown, Rob]] Tujunga is known for its abundance of outdoor [[recreation]] opportunities.
