Gotta Agree Nobody say Los Angeles anymore Here or in the Nation.LA is the most used Initial in the U.S.South LA,East LA,Central LA,Downtown LA,my Point Nobody says Los Angeles Much anymore.For example When someone ask you where you from? They would reply LA not Los Angeles.NY or NYC would be a 2nd but There still a lot of people Who Say "New York" Where you from "New York"To BE honest When someone new moved in my Neighboorhood I Asked Him "Where are you moving from" He Reply's Some LA Area Code"818" Note:A lot of people say Area codes instead of the City, when you ask them Where their From.

I can't stand O-Town!

We are referring to crappy, gimmicky pop groups from the late 90s, right?

Boston - "The Hub" ... Short for "The Hub of the Universe" as it was called by author and poet Oliver Wendell Holmes.
