Modern Los Angeles

Severely damaged early in the Third World War, rebuilding had just started when Los Angeles was completely destroyed by the Earthquake of 2102, its aftershocks and the tsunami afterward. Today, it has been restored to Pre Astro conditions and is a sleepy museum city with some tourism and cottage industry.
