No question. Despite its spelling, and the correct latino pronunciation, for the 50+ years I was in L.A. (including attending a school on this street), it was always 'lahs FEEliz'.
(ed. note: this was re: a twitter post. "Need an argument settled, angelenos: please to be pronouncing 'los feliz.'")
i agree with you, mum, though the twitter hive mind consensus seems to be "lows feel-its." either way, my sister and fiance are crazy for "lows felice," as no one would say "lows anHELes" for los angeles. that shit was americanized a long time ago.
