re: #228 sagehen

you know that recurring SNL sketch “The Californians”, where they spend 40% of the dialogue describing and reviewing alternate routes?

This is why.

(pro-tip… if you want to pretend you’re from there, just throw the words Sepulveda and La Cienega into the conversation at random.)

Don’t forget using “the” in front of freeway numbers. E.g. you are not driving east on route 10, you are driving east on the 10.

Took me a while to get used to, since back home I would drive north on route 91 to get to Northampton. But now it takes effort to not say “the 91.”
