Los Angeles\u2013the name conjures up a collage of images \u2013 a free n\u2019 easy lifestyle, movie stars holding court poolside at a swanky Beverly Hills hotel, paparazzi following celebrities like bloodhounds, and of course, New Year\u2019s Day weather that leaves East coast residents wishing for an invite to the Pasadena Rose Bowl game. This mecca for entrepreneurs is also home to almost 200,000 small businesses, which is twice as many small businesses that can be found in any other region of the United States.<\/p>\n
Los Angeles has the dubious distinction as \u201cthe car-chase capital of the world\u201d \u2013 a good reason to keep your car insurance up to date.<\/p>\n
After New York City, it\u2019s also the second most populous city in the country; the economy of the surrounding county is larger than that of forty-six of the fifty states. That goes hand-in-hand with the vibrant lifestyle<\/a>, as there\u2019s always something to do in this city that\u2019s in constant motion. If you\u2019re feeling energetic, you\u2019re near the beach for some serious surfing in the morning and can still hit the mountains for snowboarding in the afternoon. Just make sure you\u2019ve got medical insurance in case you get too up close and personal with nature.<\/p>\n From horses to cars, Los Angeles is seriously obsessed with horsepower \u2013 whether it runs on four legs or four tires. For some high-stepping horse racing, check out the 30th<\/sup> \u00a0\u00a0running of the Breeders’ Cup World Championships at Santa Anita Park<\/a> on Nov 1 & 2.<\/p>\n
