Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. A statue of St. Augustine's mother stands on the cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean in the city named for her.

Answer: Santa Monica

Yes, Santa Monica is named for Saint Augustine's mother. The statue is located in the park that runs along the clifftops.

2. What is the airport designation for the primary airport for the city of Los Angeles?

Answer: LAX

SFO is San Francisco. ORD is Chicago. LOS is Lagos in Nigeria.

3. There is a Los Angeles River flowing through the city of Los Angeles?

Answer: True

The Los Angeles River starts at an elevation of 772ft (235m) at Canoga Park and ends at Long Beach where it empties into the Pacific Ocean. Due to a series of devastating and lethal floods much of the river has been contained in channels built over the years. Its total length is a mere 51 miles or 82 kilometers.

4. The Los Angeles community of Encino was saddened in 1998 by the death of a 1,000 year old tree knocked over by a storm. What sort of tree was felled by wild weather that night?

Answer: Oak

Encino is said to take its name from the Spanish word "encina" meaning "live oak" or "evergreen oak". The tree in question was estimated to be 1,000 years old. It was a local landmark, designated a Historic-Cultural Monument, and a tourist attraction as it may have been the oldest tree in the Los Angeles area.

It had been ill in the years prior to its death but a storm uprooted the massive oak which had a bough spread of 150 feet.

5. This city has a name that suggests it is or was known for having fruit trees... since it is also the name for the Roman deity that presided over fruit trees.

Answer: Pomona

I don't know if Pomona is actually named for the Roman deity, but it seems likely... since its chamber of commerce's webpage says Pomona has a history as a rural farm community.

6. The Rose Parade is held here.

Answer: Pasadena

I'd guess this is pretty obvious to anyone who has turned on the TV on New Year's Day... but, maybe not.

7. A controversial development near Marina del Rey, it has had the backing of Dreamworks Studios...

Answer: Playa Vista

Activists have been protesting the development of Playa Vista because it is said to endanger the Ballona wetlands.

8. This valley, part of the City of Los Angeles, has been agitating to secede. There is also an independent city in the north part of this valley that has the same name as the valley.

Answer: San Fernando

The city of San Fernando is not part of Los Angeles, however the entire valley is known as the San Fernando Valley and includes such neighborhoods as Encino, West Hills, Van Nuys and Sherman Oaks.

9. Disneyland is located within Los Angeles County.

Answer: False

Actually, even though Disneyland is popularly associated with Los Angeles, it is located in Anaheim in Orange County.

10. Muscle Beach is located in this region of Los Angeles.

Answer: Venice

Muscle Beach is a well-known outdoor weightlifting arena. Many bodybuilders strut their stuff here. Venice is a mecca of bodybuilding with many shops and gyms catering to this market.
