Here’s a photo of The Getty, which I visited during a recent trip to L.A. That’s the 405 snaking up the canyon to the right, heading toward Ventura. I still find it interesting the way Californians insert a definite article in front of highways. It’s The 405, not 405. It really struck me when a Californian was talking about a recent trip to Knoxville, when he was on “The I-40.”
