Santa Clarita is not really known for its manufacturing. When people ask me where I live, I tend to say Santa Clarita. When you ask other people where they are from people say a city and you somewhat know what that place is or what they are known for. When I tell them I am from Santa Clarita some say that they don't know where that is and some say that "Oh that is where Six Flags is!" Besides Cal Arts and Six Flags Magic Mountain, Santa Clarita is known to be the place where you pass through the 14 North freeway to go to Lancaster/Palmdale area or Bakersfield area if you pass through the 5 North. For this section of the blog, I will just talk a little about Los Angeles since it is in that county.
Los Angeles is known to be the largest manufacturing center in the west side of the country. They are driven by things such as international trade, entertainment, fashion, and tourism. At one point, they were the home of a few major financial institutions. One of the major plus sides in Los Angeles is that they are a major freight railroad transportation center. Huge volume of supplies are going in and out of the country's port that it makes it convenient for everyone. The picture above of this section of the blog is The Financial District of Downtown Los Angeles. The picture below shows the port of Los Angeles and Long Beach.
