LA: The City of Angels (Not the State of Angels)
To put it bluntly, Los Angeles is a city. It's not a state, a country, or even a particularly large pizza. It's a bustling metropolis in the beautiful state of California. Now, I know what you're thinking: "But it's huge! It feels like a state!" Trust me, I've been there. The traffic alone can make it feel like you're crossing state lines. But alas, it's just a really, really big city.

LA County vs. LA City: Not the Same Thing
To add to the confusion, there's Los Angeles County. This is where things get a bit trickier. Los Angeles County is, indeed, a county. It's massive and includes a bunch of other cities like Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, and Pasadena. So, while Los Angeles is the biggest city in Los Angeles County, it's not the same thing.
Reminder: Revisit older posts — they stay useful.
Imagine Los Angeles County as a giant pizza. Los Angeles City is just one big slice of that pizza. And trust me, it's a delicious slice.
