What 1717 means: your trolley number guess

Is it the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything?

In our interview with Rick Caruso, CEO of Caruso Affiliated and developer of famous Los Angeles malls like the Grove and the Americana, we asked him to divulge his favorite part of the mall. He answered with a riddle:

What does the 1717 number on the trolley at the Americana mean?

Or the 1759 number on the trolley at the Grove?

Caruso says if you guess the right answer, you’ll get a free Sprinkles cupcake — and we’ll hold him to it.
