Los Angeles is a place defined by reinvention, where history is regularly erased and replaced with something newer and shinier. So it's notable when an institution in LA turns 100. And it is especially notable when many of them do. Several of the city's most iconic landmarks are celebrating their centennials this year, including the Hollywood sign, the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, the Biltmore Hotel downtown, and the stately headquarters of AAA. Walt Disney's first offices, in Los Feliz, and the famed Mexican restaurant El Cholo are also turning 100.
