“Home” was good episode, too...set in Home, PA about 9 miles from where I grew up, except someone in the episode refers to a local road as, “the 119,” telegraphing their west coast routes. People in PA do not refer to roads as “the” route number....they just use the road #.

Actually, referring to a freeway as "the 101" instead of just "101" is specifically a southern California thing. Even SF Bay Area people don't say that. I've lived in Northern CA almost all my life, and that's one of the ways I can tell if someone I meet is originally from down south.
