The Los Angeles Subway is the rapid transit system of the city of Los Angeles, California. In the 1980s, Los Angeles County decided to build a network of metro and light rail lines. Although the first light rail opened in 1990, the only underground subway - the Red Line - opened in 1993 after seven years of construction. The Red Line runs from downtown Los Angeles westwards to Hollywood and North Hollywood. All of the underground stations boast an interesting design, as 0.5% of the total construction budget of the stations was reserved for public art. Due to the city's proximity to fault lines, tunnels had to be built to resist earthquakes of up to magnitude 7.5. Text from: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_County_Metro_Rail

Mel's Drive-In (not to be confused with Mel's Diner) is the name of a restaurant chain founded in 1947 by Mel Weiss and Harold Dobbs in San Francisco, California. In 1972 the restaurant was selected as a feature location by George Lucas in the American film American Graffiti, saving the company from possibly going out of business. The restaurants have since been featured in other media such as Melrose Place (1996, Season 5, episode 1), Doonesbury comics (December 18, 1989), and the book The American Drive-in by Mike Witzel. Some Mel's Drive-In locations are not actually drive-ins, but rather diners, although the sign still says "drive-in"; no San Francisco location serves food to patrons' cars. There are also a number of "Mel's" located in northern California which share the same general American Graffiti/ nostalgia theme and similarly styled Mel's logo. These restaurants are called "Mel's Original." Their locations are not listed on the official Mel's Drive-In website, and there is no online information concerning whether they are in any way related. The Walnut Creek, California location features a history of the original San Francisco Mel's, so it is possible that these are franchises of the same company, or two companies sharing the same trademark in a fashion similar to the Hard Rock Cafe brand.

The Hollywood & Highland Center is an entertainment, retail and hotel complex at Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue in the Hollywood district in Los Angeles. The 387,000-square-foot center also includes the Grauman's Chinese Theatre and the Kodak Theatre, home to the Academy Awards. Located in the heart of Hollywood, it is among the most visited tourist destinations in Los Angeles. The complex sits just opposite of the El Capitan Theatre and offers views of the Hollywood Hills and Hollywood Sign to the north, Santa Monica Mountains to the west and downtown Los Angeles to the east. The centerpiece of the complex is a massive three-story courtyard inspired by the D.W. Griffith film 'Intolerance'. Tenants include 75 shops and restaurants, a movie theater, The Highlands nightclub and a bowling alley called Lucky Strike Lanes. The portion of the center facing Hollywood Boulevard houses retail tenants such as GAP, American Eagle, Banana Republic, Swatch, Express, and Hollywood's second Virgin Megastore, which opened in early fall 2005. Hollywood & Highland also houses 65,000 square feet of gathering spaces including the Grand Ballroom, used for the Oscars Governors Ball. The chef Wolfgang Puck operates his regional headquarters out of the complex. The center also includes television broadcast facilities that in 2004 included the studios for the daily talk show On Air With Ryan Seacrest. The 637-room Renaissance Hollywood Hotel is also part of the site. The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority Hollywood/Highland Red Line subway stop is beneath the structure.
