The 10's Identity Crisis



Have you ever seen a freeway with more names than the 10? In just the small stretch of 10 between the ocean and downtown, the 10 freeway struggles with several different names. Of course, we all know it as the 10 and the Santa Monica Freeway. But it's also known as...



.. the Christopher Columbus Transcontinental Highway ...



... the Rosa Parks Freeway...



and now, most recently, the entire length of the 10 -- from Santa Monica to Jacksonville, Fla., has been renamed the Pearl Harbor Memorial Highway.

Can't wait for the 10's inevitable redesignation as the Arnold Schwarzenegger Freeway. I'm guessing around 2015.
