Olivia Newton-John's Koala Blue certainly attracted attention to Melrose Avenue, but its transformation was already under way by the time she opened it up. There were a few boutiques (all long gone) like Flip and Poseur that predated Koala Blue, as did the record store Vinyl Fetish (still in existence under the name Melrose Music).
The Fairfax District was referenced in the name of an apocryphal musical group, the Fairfax Funk Factory.
Fairfax Funk Factory was mentioned on Rhino Records' 1979 "Rhino Brothers' Circus Royale" record album.
Fairfax Funk Factory may have either been an early incarnation or a fictious history of either the "Yiddish People" or "Gefilte Joe & Fish" (both of which are real musical groups that played parodies of popular songs with humourous lyrics about Jews and Jewishness).

The Beverly Hills Adjacent area is definately not part of the Fairfax district. The person who wrote this article seems to think it is however, saying that the Beverly Center and Cedar Sinai, both of which are in BH adjacent. I'm not sure if the Beverly Grove area (the area between La Cienega and Crescent Heights) is part of Fairfax or not but BH adjacent is not. It has a different area code, realty, and no one on the mapping la article seems to think so.

Fairfax District, Los Angeles → Fairfax, Los Angeles – To conform with all other Los Angeles neighborhoods in accordance with previous consensus. GeorgeLouis ( talk) 15:41, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
When was a consensus reached on changing the name of the Fairfax District to just "Fairfax"? I don't see any discussion explaining why such a move was made. Whether or not other Los Angeles neighborhoods use the name "district" behind their name is irrelevant to what the traditional, accepted name of the Fairfax District has been. I can provide numerous Los Angeles sources that talk about the Fairfax District. Its name should be restored since that is how it has always been, Wikipedia should not be changing names for some sort of conformity that is unnecessary.
On a similar vein, why were the boundaries of the traditional Fairfax District changed? The description of "It is roughly bordered by West Hollywood on the north, Highland Avenue on the east, West Hollywood and Beverly Hills on the west and Wilshire Boulevard on the south. The Fairfax District is sometimes confused with Park La Brea, which is a real estate development within the District, and the curious Beverly Hills Adjacent, particularly on housing rental advertisements. The section of Fairfax Avenue filled with traditionally Jewish businesses is sometimes referred to by Angelenos as Kosher Canyon or "The Bagel District." Beginning around 2005, real estate listings controversially began to define the western part of the area as Beverly Grove when listing homes for sale." was more accurate. The LA Times is listed as the sole source on this geographic change. "Beverly Grove" is not a neighborhood any long time Angeleno would recognize, especially since The Grove shopping center from whence this new "neighborhood" gets its name didn't even exist until the early 2000's and ironically is not even in its namesake neighborhood.

Please see this list of news articles and it is clear that what local residents say above is true, the area is referred to as 'The Fairfax District' and never just as "Fairfax". So I was "bold" and moved the article back to its proper title. Keizers ( talk) 04:14, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
