Got a chuckle last night from the bright-eyed, fresh-out-of-college kid (wow, am I really calling 21-year-olds "kid" now? I am old!) who bought our old washer/dryer off of Craigslist. He was having trouble finding our place, and gave us a ring.
"I'm just trying to find the Glendale expressway!" he exclaimed.
Huh? It took me a sec. Ohhhh... he meant the 2, a.k.a the Glendale Freeway!
"I just moved here," he told me when he arrived. I smiled, and remembered that I was in his shoes nearly 11 years ago. I'm sure he'll soon be referring to our freeways by their number ("the 405," "the 10"), just like an Angeleno.
