Gah, take it to the politics thread, already! Even if you aren't old enough to vote!

Mmm, BBQ... for those who live in California and go up the 5 sometimes, there's a really good BBQ place just after the Grapevine near Bakersfield... Willow Ranch BBQ. The sign is a sort of barrel, visible from the freeway just after you've passed the exit. It's on the right going North, left going South. Fantastic ribs and BBQ sauce.

When I mentioned Tangents earlier, I was talking about loudspeakers. Geez, you guys! And to think I was excited to see so many new posts to my thread.
If any readers of this thread recall the orignal issue: I've ordered the M22s and will happily report back with the big M3 vs M22 showdown.

Thanks for the tip, kcarlie. I have family in noCal and head that way often.
BTW, if you're heading north, the right hand side of the road would be "east" and the hand side "west". LOL

So I don't have a map in my head. So sorry... I'm trying to remember the exit... it's something about Bakersfield. It's also right next to one of those big truck gas stations (real helpful on the 5, huh?)

"the 5"? We call it "I-5" up here in the other Washington. I like how, when you Mapquest the route from Seattle to Southern California, that middle part says "go 1000 miles South on I-5".
I know, I used "Mapquest" as a verb. Sorry.
Thanks for the tip on the BBQ. Next time I'm driving home early Sunday morning through Bakersfield listening to Gospel music on the local radio station, I'll keep it in mind.

Now THAT's an interesting linguistic thing.. I can tell whether people come from N. CA or S. CA by what they call freeways... In SoCal, freeways are "the 405" or "the 5". In NorCal, freeways are "580" or "5." Now I can add other data... what do you call non Interstates in Washington?

We just call them by number. I've always mourned the fact that we don't have "The Ventura Freeway", "the Sunset Highway" or other colorful references to our roads.
Relative to State Routes (non-interstate freeways), usual people say just the number (for the big, congested ones that are on the traffic report every day anyway) or State Route 7 or SR 7.
