Los Angeles

Whether you call it LA, the City of Angels, Angel Town, or the Big Orange, Los Angeles has long been one of the most famous cities in the country, if not the world. Known for having one of the best climates you can find, Los Angeles is a destination for tourists and residents. LA truly is a place with anything you can desire, from higher learning to beautiful sights, to a jumping nightlife and everything in between. The largest city in the country, Los Angeles also has the second-largest population of any city.

When someone mentions Los Angeles, we think, Hollywood. You are just as likely to bump into your favorite celebrity as you are to trip over your shoelace. The home of the most prominent film industry in the world, Hollywood has been creating stars for generations, since the first major motion-picture companies set up their production here in 1912. By the 1920s, Hollywood had four of the largest movie companies headquartered there; RKO, Warner Bro. 's, Paramount, and Columbia. Also known as Tinseltown or The Dream Factory, these giants created a self-contained, purpose-built section of the city solely made for making movies. Producing upwards of 600 a year by the 1930s. Whether you want to check the Walk of Fame to find your favorite celebrities' star or get a classic picture of the giant HOLLYWOOD sign, it is a must-visit part of the city for anyone who comes for a visit. 

If there is one thing that Los Angeles is genuinely chock-full of, it's sports teams. The city is home to no less than eleven major league professional sports teams spread across all five professional leagues. Each of these teams has their large fan-bases, making for some intense but friendly rivalries. Whether you enjoy watching the Lakers dunk on the Clippers, the historic LA Dodgers, or the Rams and Chargers butting heads, Los Angeles is a sports lovers' dream.

If taking in the sights or massaging your brain is more your speed, you've hit the jackpot. Spend some time at the Petersen Automotive Museum, the Natural History Museum, or the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. You can get lost learning about the history of the world before us humans came into the picture. Speaking of which, one of the most popular attractions is the La Brea Tar Pits, where you can see tar bubbling out of cracks in the Earth, just as it has been doing for over 65 million years. If you're lucky, you can see one of the archaeological teams that often work there pull out some ancient fossils.
