That reminds me. Why is it that "The 5" out in Cali is the only road I know of in the US that isn't just called by it's number. Around here, we would say get on 95S (one of our main highways), not The 95S. I was in San Diego back in February and thought this was kind of odd. Didn't know if there was a reason, or if it was just one of those things that people started saying it that way, so now everyone says it that way.
