Yes, our traffic makes us all cast members in
The Californians:
Hell, I had to go from Hollywood to Glendale yesterday afternoon but the 101 looked f***ed at Sunset, so I took Cahuenga to Barham, turned right, and was doing great until I ran into a DWP sewer job and got stuck in a five mile, one-lane conga line from Lake Hollywood Drive past Warner Brothers. Took me 45 minutes to go five miles.
I should've pulled an illegal U on Barham and then gone back up Barham to Cahuenga, across Lankershim under the 101 and past Universal Studios, down Cahuenga north to Riverside, then cut through Toluca Lake to Hollywood Way, past Disney and through the Rancho to Sonora then turned right on San Fernando. I could even have gone to Vineland and across Camarillo and turned onto Alvarado at the three-way intersection next to the 7-11. Wasn't all bad, though: I took Magnolia and once i got to San Fernando it was clear sailing from Olive all the way to Chevy Chase Drive. Of course, there was no parking when I got to my destination on Chevy Chase, so after circling the block three times, I had to go down Central and across Palmer to slip into a back alleyway that had some hidden parking behind the building.
But I digress...
