Log Angeles is a huge city and is the second largest in the entire country. It boasts a population of 3.8 million and is the largest in California.

Los Angeles is a very well known city worldwide. It is the center of almost anything from science, technology trade, entertainment, culture, media, fashion, and business. It was ranked as the eighth most powerful economic city in the world by Forbes.com above Toronto and Shanghai internationally and Chicago and New York City in the USA.
