Boston is great but its definitely not as recognized as L.A, NY or Chicago. I mean the city of Los Angeles has grown to 4.5 Million residents...theres always gonna be more to do and see in a city that large. As far as best, thats a personal opinion.

The population of Los Angeles is 3.8 million, not 4.5 million.

"4 million" is not a precise number. I googled it and there is no exact number, just "four million".

So I'm going by the 2006 population from Census.com, and It's 3.8 million.

That's why I love this picture, it's the contrasts of a palm tree lined harbor with snow capped mountains behind it is what makes it so interesting to me.

I believe that is Lake Mission Viejo.
