...the La Brea Tar Pits...

I used to work with a guy who enjoyed pointing out that "the La Brea Tar Pits" can be translated as "the The Tar Tar Pits"...

We went to the tar pits when we went to LA a few years ago. I was bummed to learn that you had to have a reservation to go through the museum. There was a bum “camping” by one of the pits, so that was interesting to see.
