Welcome to Los Angeles Shopping

The City of Los Angeles, often known simply as L.A. or informally as the City of Angels, is the second-largest city in the United States and is considered the geographically largest metropolitan area in the world.

The city has a global presence as a center of culture, science, and higher education. Los Angeles is arguably the world's leading producer of popular entertainment, especially motion pictures, television and recorded music, lending the city an extraordinary measure of international fame.

Los Angeles is also one of the most cosmopolitan places in the world, home to individuals from virtually every nation on Earth. Los Angeles has hosted two Olympic Games, in 1932 and 1984, and is home to world-renowned scientific and cultural institutions. People have always been attracted to the world-class city for its balmy weather, unique and vibrant lifestyle, laid-back energy, Pacific Rim Gateway status, and the hope of realizing the "American Dream."

The economy of Los Angeles is driven by international trade, entertainment (television, motion pictures, recorded music), aerospace, agriculture, petroleum, and tourism. Los Angeles is also the largest manufacturing center in the United States. The contiguous ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach together compose the most significant port in North America and one of the most important ports in the world, and they are vital to trade within the Pacific Rim. Other significant industries include media production, finance, telecommunications, law, health and medicine, and transportation.
