kyburgI've seen this story reported all over the world. I know the location well - I learned to drive out there. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
unclejimbo and I refer to it as suicide alley for all the dipshits who want to buzz through there at 90 MPH. It's two lanes, either way with a cement divider - and no services outside of the call boxes along the side of the road. The terrain is badlands, with nothing taller than your ankle growing there. Straight up, straight down and you can't see anything from the road while you're driving through. Forget using your cell phone. You is screwed.
And you just left a metropolitan center of over a million. It's hard to believe, but it's indicative of the attitude out there. You're stupid, you're unlucky, you're done. Thanks for playing.
For more references, if you've got Animal Planet or Discovery Channel and you can see "Venom ER" - that's where I grew up. Loma Linda University Medical Center is one of the very best hospitals I've ever dealt with - second only to Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles. I've spent months, probably years cumulatively in that place.
Kind of spooky seeing the old neighborhoods, really.
