What format should I use when beginning a chapter with the time and location of the events?

I was thinking to use:

> Nine pm. Sunday, in Los Angeles, CA, USA.

but I don't think it looks good, so I was wondering what were the alternatives and which ones were the most popular ones.

For example:

> Nine pm. Sunday, in Los Angeles, CA, USA. Steve got out of the office earlier than usual, and took a cab to meet his friend who was sitting on a park bench by his lonesome.
