Los Angeles
by travel
The largest city in California and the third most populous city in the USA. It lies at the hub of the Los Angeles-Long Beach metropolitan area whose population (15,250,000 in 2010) is exceeded in the USA only by that of Greater New York.Yet in 1850 its population was only 1,610. Rapid growth is the key feature of a city which sprawls over more than 1,301 km2 from the San Fernando Valley in the north to San Pedro Bay in the south, and eastwards from Santa Monica Bay in the west to the San Gabriel Mountains.
Five Places You Can Take Kids in Paso Robles on Weekends
by BarbRad
I remember the first time we passed through the small city of Paso Robles with our children and needed to make a "pit stop." We chose Downtown City Park on Spring Street, because we had no idea where to go. It wasn't very exciting. Today I have a whole list of places I enjoy where I would take children for that "pit stop." If we were just passing through on the way to somewhere else, I would take them to Sculpterra Winery and Sculpture Garden, Fat Cat Farm, or Eagle Castle Winery. If I could spend a lot of time, I'd take them to the Salinas River, by way of Larry Moore Park.

The Best Sightseeing in California
by buzzyap
Of the 41 states I have visited, California has been the most diverse and interesting. In Northern California, you can travel to extinct lava fields and volcanoes at Lassen National Park, while being near the famous Redwood forests and the splendor of Yosemite. A day trip south, the climate will change entirely into inland desert, palm trees, and the suburban sprawl of the Los Angeles and San Diego area. For sightseeing experiences, you can't get much better than California in the United States.
