One more thing Southern California is known for: earthquakes. While the San Andreas is the most famous, scientists know it’s not the only fault that can produce a powerful earthquake in Southern California. Residents clean up in the Van Nuys neighborhood following the 1994 Northridge earthquake in Los Angeles on January 17, 1994. Many newcomers have no idea the havoc a big earthquake can wreak, including young Angelinos who grew up in Southern California‘s quiet times. “We need to be prepared, because we could have an earthquake that’s pretty big at any time,” Husker said.

Radio DJ Art Laboe, who interviewed Elvis for radio in the 1950s before helping make Black music and Latino youths lifelong friends, has died. The DJ, who hosted a show on Los Angeles radio station KDAY, died Friday of pneumonia, according to a statement on his Facebook page. The final show from Laboe, who is credited with coining the phrase "oldies but goodies," was broadcast Sunday. "Art Laboe's legacy will endure as his team will continue to produce his current nightly request and dedication syndicated radio show, 'The Art Laboe Connection,'" the post said. In the mid-1950s, Laboe was the top daytime radio DJ in Los Angeles.
