Okay. Why do Southern California call their freeways "THE 405" and "THE 605", 
etc.? I don't take "THE 280" up to San Francisco, or "THE 101" to Gilroy. I 
take Highway 280 or 101. My daughters used to laugh at the southerner's naming 
convention. Both live there right now and use the same terms. ARRRGH! -Seth
