When mentioning a city/state or city/country one would write it like this: "Los Angeles, California" such that the smaller division is written first, followed by a comma and then the larger division. In this case Los Angeles is a city inside of California.
We visited Indianapolis, Indiana, to see the Colts play.
As this sentence shows an additional comma is placed after Indiana as well. However, if the location becomes possessive of something, the comma is removed. For example:
Our friends visited Cleveland, Ohio's Quicken Loans Arena to watch the Cavaliers play against the Miami Heat.
In this sentence Cleveland, Ohio is "owning" Quicken Loans Arena (i.e. it is possessive). Because of this the comma after "Ohio" is removed.
Bet you Lebron never told you he was the King of Grammar. And he didn't even go to College.
