[QUOTE]Originally posted by Balaam Xumucane: [QB] Being from California, I can answer this. In LA and Southern California, freeways are often referred to by their numbers prefaced by 'The'. Some friends from LA and I were discussing this the other night. Up here we usually drop the 'the'. So from San Francisco, you might take 101 South to 237 and then get on 5 South. In a matter of several hours (depending on how fast you drive) you will wind up in Los Angeles and you will now be on [i]the[/i] Five. So 'the Five' refers to Interstate 5 which runs South to North from San Diego, California up through Seattle, Washington (an on up into Canada). It is also called 'I-5', although that's mostly Oregon and Washington. The stretch between LA and 237 is pretty freakin' desolate scrubland and utterly depressing. Once Creedmore regained conciousness he could wander for miles without seeing anything but tumbleweed. Gibson was likely referring to this. [/QB][/QUOTE]
