Prop Trading Firms in Los Angeles Area

Hi,

I am looking for entry position at prop trading firms. Is there any recognized firms in LA area? or S.California?

And why is it that there are so many firms in Chicago?

Thanks,

the market open time and COL are nice-to-haves but the real reason so many firms are in Chicago is because the options and commodities exchanges are there. Same reason there are so many in NYC - the exchanges.
