PROOF POSITIVE THAT LOS ANGELES COUNTY IS NOT ONE HUGE, GOD-AWFUL PARKING LOT!
I could not, in good conscience, go to bed tonite without doing my part, as an Angeleno Countian, to lay this gross misconception finally to rest.
Ever since the Pasadena Freeway was built, in the 40's and probably going as far back as when the first paved street appeared, our fair city & county have been plagued by the story, completely fabricated mind you (by God knows who!), that you can't move around here without bumping into a car.
Poppycock! and I have the evidence to prove it (Ol' Sneak whips out his trusty Thomas Bros. Map Guide).
Yes, we have 8 Interstates passing thru.
Yes, we have 23 State Highways zig-zagging across the landscape.
Yes, we have 49 major shopping malls and a ton of parking spaces.
Yes, this means that Rush Hour is always a major pain in the carburator.
And, YES, we have no Ban.... Oops, sorry, getting off topic there for a moment. It's past my usual bed time, forgive me. :-)
However, we have:
17 Open Space Preserves
39 Beaches & Harbors
76 Cemeteries
AND, last but not least, 682 Parks ( and that's just after A-L in the alphabet! ).
And don't get me started on our lovely Mountain Ranges, and Hillsides.
So, enough already!
We have plenty of space in which to move around, trust me.
Now, I'm off to bed so....
Good night, and welcome to my world. :-)
