We have a bar near my house down here in Orange County that’s offering Carmageddon specials all weekend to encourage locals to go there and drink rather than heading up to L.A.
Yeah, I know it’s just their excuse to try to sell more booze and appetizers, but I thought it was kinda funny and it’ll probably bring them in a few extra bucks.
I really hope this keeps the Valley people and East LA folks away from Santa Monica. Would be nice to have a peaceful beach weekend.
Predicting Carmageddon is what will prevent Carmageddon. There was supposed to be a Carmageddon when the olympics came to LA in 84, but for those two weeks the LA traffic turned out to be much LESS congested than usual, people stayed home out of fear of massive traffic jams.
I would assume that they are going to use concrete structures that are formed and set off site and then trucked in.
This closure was all that the media had been talking about for 2 months. So the only people that didn’t know about this were the dead, and they dont drive.
This is a great example of how the media and the political elite just assume that the plebes are idiots.
It is a great day to go for a drive here in LA.

Monday morning rush hour will soon show what will happen.
101 North to Ventura is smooth. Lovely day for the beach.
If Armageddon turns out to be anything like Carmageddon, people are going to be VERY disappointed.
Just taking down an overpass, no concrete that needs to set (I think). From an earlier post of mine:
Just got back from a little SoCal driving. Went from Long Beach to Carson on the 710/405 — light traffic. Then took the 110 to downtown LA — again light traffic. In fact, made better time than normal for a Saturday morning. Let every weekend be a “Carmaggedon”!
