"This year marks the fourth season that IndyCar has used 100% renewable race fuel for the NTT IndyCar Series - the first motorsport series in North America to utilize this type of fuel.

I think it's probably the only one of its kind you'll ever see. Subsidized housing is usually in low-income areas. It would be like bringing Compton and Beverly Hills together in one block.

As millions of soldiers returned home from World War II, the nation faced a housing shortage. In response to the pinch, Los Angeles-based Arts and Architecture magazine designed and commissioned 36 experimental houses to showcase innovative and inexpensive architecture techniques. The group of homes, designed by notable architects such as Richard Neutra and Craig Ellwood, became known as the "Case Study Houses."

This dramatic natural formation inspired the name of the town that would grow to fill that isolated valley, which in the early 1900s was 10 rugged miles of axle-breaking country road away from the thronging crowds and bright lights of downtown Los Angeles.

This Craftsman home, set on a roomy three-quarter-acre lot, has the rolled roof edges, deep overhangs and protruding rafter tails characteristic of the style developed by brothers Charles and Henry Greene. Originally built for Packard dealer Earle C. Anthony, the shingle-clad house was moved from Los Angeles to Beverly Hills in the early 1920s by silent-film star Norman Kerry.

Spyglass Hill was the first of the planned communities that emerged in Newport Beach. Originally owned by the Irvine family, the land was developed under the auspices of the Irvine Co. Spyglass Hill was built in the early 1970s by the Lusk Co., and the last tract was completed in 1972.

With their red-tile roofs and stucco walls so commonplace that they've become part of the landscape, the homes of the Spanish Colonial Revival tapped the climate, local materials and an idealized view of history to become the signature style of Southern California.
