Los Angeles Information

Los Angeles is the second largest city in the United States behind New York with a population of 3.8 million people in 2005. The "City of Angels" serves as the entertainment hub, not only for the country but the entire planet, and the chance for stardom attracts people from around the world to this beautiful, bustling metropolis on the Pacific Coast of southern California. Los Angeles lies at the center of the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana metropolitan area, home to 12.9 people in 2005.

Los Angeles is much more than Hollywood glitz and glamour: a drive or bus ride through the area provides an amazing cross-section of American life. In addition to its well-known multicultural diversity, Los Angeles also contains extremes on each end of the economic scale, from the infamous slums of Skid Row to the regal mansions of Bel Air and Malibu. Los Angeles is home to a variety of lifestyles that constantly become intertwined. Whether it's beach communities adjacent to working class neighborhoods, college atmospheres mingling with high-end shopping areas, or cozy suburb-type living minutes from major business districts, Los Angeles has a little bit of all types of lifestyles with little to separate them.

Add to this eclectic mix of lifestyles the buzz of opportunity stemming from the lucrative possibilities of the entertainment industry and it's understandable why Los Angeles is a unique environment that needs to be experienced to be understood.
