BTW Nephy: sorry that I contributed to the derailment of your thread with a silly freeway/highway/byway/toll road/insane traffic discussion.

Sort of like the American "in the hospital" vs. the British "in hospital".

Ralphs is known elsewhere as Kroger, it's true. Interestingly, I think the same parent company also owns Food 4 Less.

We lived in LA for about 10 years. Hollywood to Santa Monica & the 405 - half hour in the morning and about an hour to get back at night.

Culver City to Brentwood - about 7 miles took about 45 mins each way.

Culver City to Santa Monica (next to Santa Monica Airport) 6 miles took about 35 mins each way.

Culver City to Century City - 8 miles took about 30ish mins each way.

Culver City to Disneyland - 30 miles could take anywhere from 30 mins to hours.

I do have to say at least in LA if the freeway sucks there a zillion different surface street ways to get somewhere. In San Diego (at least where I live) this is almost impossible as none of the surface streets connect up they loop back to the freeway.

You know, it's not all that different out here in Utah... Surprisingly so. But that's mainly because we have only one major thoroughfare. When the Legacy Parkway/Highway/Whatever opens up, as well as some awesome public trans (of which I hope to partake!), things should get much better.

But, miles are more like miles here, more than they were in SoCal.

I agree. It also occurred to me that I have a plan and a dream to take Rose to all the Disney parks in the world- I can afford it here- but not if I come there.

No worries- let it flow willy nilly.

I hate inland. And, by inland, I mean anything East of the 405.

Oh, did I fail to mention that, thanks to the oncoming Apocalypse, in five years, only camels and scorpions will be able to survive in Southern California from May thru October more than 5 miles from the ocean.

I can't survive 5 miles from the ocean for very long now!
