Carson

Carson is in Los Angeles County.

Home to a large Samoan population, the Carson High School football team has a larger defensive line than most NFL teams.

A poorer suburb, there are few sights or tourist destinations in Carson.

The Home Depot Center is home to LA's three top-level professional soccer teams:

• LA Galaxy, Home Depot Center, ww2.mlsnet.com. One of the charter members of Major League Soccer, the Galaxy is best known as the home of English soccer superstar David Beckham and American star Landon Donovan.

• Chivas USA, Home Depot Center, ww2.mlsnet.com. Los Angeles' other MLS team, while not as famous or well known as the Galaxy, have recently had somewhat more success. The team name comes from Mexican club C.D. Guadalajara, popularly known as Chivas (Spanish for "goats"); the owner of the Mexican club also owns the majority interest in Chivas USA. Unsurprisingly, the team has a strong Mexican fan base.

• Los Angeles Sol, Home Depot Center, www.womensprosoccer.com. The city's newest team, the Sol began play in 2009 as one of the seven charter members of Women's Professional Soccer. The Sol feature arguably the world's best women's player, Brazilian superstar Marta.

• Don't even bother with Carson as a travel destination. This was just a place I would frequent when I lived in Long Beach, a little town to go to, to get away from the beach...Carson was where IKEA was, and a pretty cool rollerskating rink. Since I haven't had a reason to do anything else specific … • Ayanna A.
