Originally, in 1923, the Hollywood sign was erected as an advertisement for an upcoming real estate development -- "Hollywoodland." In the mid-1940s, the "land" was dropped from the sign. The original sign isn't the sign in today's L.A. -- the original was replaced in the 1970s.

   "La 101"
2. "SR 101"
   "the 101"

Although many have advocated over the years (and still do) for the Spanish pronunciation, Loce AHNG-hayl-ais, the official pronunciation is the Anglicized, Loss AN-ju-less, determined by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names. Or, just make it easy on yourself and call it L.A.

   after the acquittal of LAPD officers charged with excessive force
2. after the acquittal of O.J. Simpson in the death of his ex-wife
   protests against racial profiling

1. anything below 80 degrees Fahrenheit
   anything below 60 degrees Fahrenheit
2. anything below 40 degrees Fahrenheit
   anything below 32 degrees Fahrenheit

Los Angeles has a Mediterranean climate, which means it's dry in the summer and rainy in the winter. While temperatures can vary a lot from the coast to San Fernando Valley, the average daytime temps average in the 60s and 70s. Anything below 60 degrees to a lot of Angelenos seems chilly.

1. a burger wrapped in lettuce instead of a bun
   a burger topped with yellow chilies
2. fries on a burger
   a mustard-grilled burger, onions, sauce

Your usual order: animal style, a fresh beef patty with mustard cooked in, slathered with tangy Thousand Island and onions hot off the grill. When you’re feeling healthy: protein style, which swaps the bun for a lettuce leaf.

1. "Los Fay-lus"
   "Los Fey-LEASE"
2. "Los FEE-liss"

"Los Fey-LEASE" may seem like the logical and correct way to pronounce, "Los Feliz," based on the Spanish pronunciation. Angelenos, though, pronounce Los Feliz as "Los FEE-liss" or "Los FEE-lus," which is nothing like it. Los Feliz isn't the only one to see its pronounciation changed by Angelenos -- the list also includes "San PEE-dro" (San Pedro).

   the Harbor

1. yes, that is true
   no, but it feels true

   speed "bumps"
2. speed "cushions"
   speed "humps"

There's more than one type of speed bump, and the ones you find in the residential neighborhoods of L.A. are called speed "humps." Why not a "bump"? It has to do with the size and shape. Because of their size and shape, cars can safely drive over speed humps no faster than 10 or 15 mph, or risk car damage.

   the Expo Line
2. the Green Line

1. in Placerita Canyon
   in the San Gabriel mountains
2. in Santa Barbara
   in the Sierra Nevada mountains

When James W. Marshall struck gold at Sutter's Mill in the Sierra Nevada mountains in 1848, he ushered in a flood of settlers in a Gold Rush that would last through 1855. The best-known California Gold Rush wasn't the first, though. Earlier, in March 1842, a man named Francisco Lopez discovered gold in Placerita Canyon, near the San Fernando Mission. Later that same year, Lopez would also discover gold in the San Feliciana Canyon.
