A similar scheme exists in the Antelope Valley region (the
northernmost part of Los Angeles County, including the cities of
Lancaster and Palmdale). Beginning at the Kern County line, where
Avenue A literally runs right along the border, the lettered avenues
are spaced exactly one mile apart.

@PGage - unfortunately, the NJ Turnpike is the most direct route from
DC (via 95 through Delaware) to Manhattan. You could have followed
I-295 (which runs parallel to the Turnpike to about exit 5) up to US

Just a point of order - in the Northeast, it's 'I-295' or simply
'295', but never 'the 295'. That's very much a California thing.

OK. I thought Brad was saying the problem with The was that there

The answer: transit agencies officially don't want you to walk up or
down a moving escalator, as it's a safety hazard. Toronto, for

There are elevators at most stations, but they aren't always right at the

Why does humidity matter? It all has to do with evaporation. On dry
days. or in dry climates, the natural perspiration from your body
evaporates into the air, and so 100 degrees and bone dry is more
