The IE
含义: The Inland Empire — the sprawling region east of Los Angeles including Riverside, San Bernardino, and surrounding cities.
The IE (Inland Empire) is the vast, affordable, and often sweltering region east of LA. It's where many people who work in LA live because housing is cheaper, and it has its own distinct culture. 'I'm from the IE' carries a working-class pride and a tolerance for extreme heat that coastal Californians can't understand.

起源与历史
The name 'Inland Empire' was coined by developers in the early 20th century to market the San Bernardino-Riverside region. The abbreviation 'the IE' became common in the 1990s-2000s as the region's population exploded with people priced out of coastal LA.
