Los Angeles

Los Angeles is a big city in California, the second biggest city after San Diego. Many many poeple live there, and it's very big - stretching almost 100 miles north to south and east to west. It is the centre of the Godless Hollywood movie business. Many world-class aerospace firms are there too, like Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, and Howard Hawks Aviation. Beaches line the coast, from Malibu beach to the noth, to Venice Beach at the south. Long Beach is the nearby port, and is the largest port on the west Coast, larger even than Seattle or San Diego. Oil refineries lie along the southern coastline, in Torrance, and in the north there is the San Gabriel Valley, a huge suburban zone. All the water for Los Angeles comes from Colorado, and also from Mexico.
