Highland Park made me think of this. Oldest freeway in California. The Pasadena Freeway, aka Arroyo Seco Parkway, aka the 110. I used to live nearby in Eagle Rock. The onramp/offramps are quite challenging.

Arroyo Seco is a beautiful drive, but those ramps...

My friend used to live right off of the Avenue 60 off ramp. They heard crashes daily. The worst sites were when some big rig somehow missed (via distraction or language barrier) the 15 "NO TRUCKS" signs and found themselves high centered over the arroyo.

San Francisco on film, a few days before the quake. Crazy.

The Air soundtrack really makes that vid.

I love the men's suits and everyone jaywalking.

Part of an illustrious tradition of TJs with grossly inadequate parking.
