'''Peds'''
==Grand Theft Auto V==
*There were originally female police officers.
;Music

*Many songs for [[Channel X]], [[Los Santos Rock Radio]], [[Non Stop Pop FM]], [[Radio Los Santos (GTA V)|Radio Los Santos]], [[Radio Mirror Park]], [[Rebel Radio]], [[Space 103.2]], [[The Blue Ark]], [[The Low Down 91.1]], [[Vinewood Boulevard Radio]], and [[West Coast Classics]] have been found in the "american.gxt" file.

Two areas called ''Hedgebury'' and ''Goatherd'' can be seen on roadsigns on the [[Broker-Dukes Expressway]].
