California
California is one of the single most beautiful and diverse states out of all of the fifty United States in America. The reason why is not clear and it really depends on the person and point of reference, but one reason is clearly the massive coastline that California possesses. The state of California has a coastline that runs nearly the entire expanse of the whole western seaboard of the United States of America, so it makes for all different types of weather, varying a great deal from Southern California near Mexico to northern California.

Look at a map of California for yourself and check about the incredibly long coast. The capital of the state of California is closer to California’s northern border, near Oregon. The capital city is Sacramento, and it is the seat of the California government, and where the governor of California (currently Arnold Schwarzenegger as of 2007) lives and works.

For whatever reason, California real estate is some of the priciest, most competitive real estate in the industry period. From border to border, and from the coast inward prices for California real estate are constantly skyrocketing, making it more and more difficult for people of a regular income to obtain property in California. For this reason, most regular people just choose to visit California and all of the major cities in California or attend one of the many fine universities that are situated within the state.

The University of Southern California is a major football school; a lot of great football talent has emerged from that University, and they compete directly with a cross-town school, the University of California at Los Angeles, or UCLA. UCLA vs. USC games are very competitive games and a lot of player morale rests on the success or failure of this game, either way you look at it.

Disneyland is in California and so is the California Highway Patrol, the subject of the hit show Chips (CHPs). If you are interested in history, visit the California Missions that are situated all over California and boast a great deal of the amazing state history.
