Burbank

Burbank is a city in Los Angeles County, California, United States. As of 2004, the city had a population of 105,400. Burbank is located in the eastern region of the San Fernando Valley, north of Downtown Los Angeles. Billed as the "Media Capital of the World", many media and entertainment companies are headquartered or have significant production facilities in Burbank, including NBC Universal, The Walt Disney Company, and Warner Bros. Entertainment. The town has come a long way from the days when it was ironically referred to as "Beautiful Downtown Burbank" on Laugh-In and The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. Although commonly believed to be named for famous horticulturalist Luther Burbank who once lived in Santa Rosa, California, the city is actually named for David Burbank, a New Hampshire-born dentist and entrepreneur.

A predominantly upper-middle class community, Burbank is home to many employees of the motion picture and television studios located in and around the city, including Nicktoons Network, a sister channel of Nickelodeon. Entertainment has generally replaced the defense industry as the primary employer of its citizens, who are attracted by the relative safety and security offered by its own police and fire departments, highly rated schools and hospital. Other reasons cited are its small-town feel while located only 10 minutes away by car to the hip clubs and restaurants of Hollywood. Source wikipedia
