bgavin Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I'm hard pressed to say which is worse: 237 in Sunnyvale or ?? in D.C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 That’s the 105 freeway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity Kris Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Where on the 105? I don't recall railroad tracks that close to the traffic lanes. The taco truck appears to be next to a siding of sorts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedalia Dave Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Fact or Fiction: Taco truck set up on LA freeway? <quote> On August 24, 2018 a tanker crash and explosion brought traffic to a halt for hours on the 105 freeway near LAX. A food truck was among the vehicles stuck in the mess. So the owner decided to open up and sell tacos and other Mexican food right on the freeway. He even offered items for half price. <end quote> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 I got stuck on the 10 Fwy in LA back in 83. It was gridlock. Everything was at a standstill. I got out of my car, opened my hatchback and grabbed a cold beer. A guy in the truck behind me offered a trade of a sandwich for a beer. I got me a sandwich. 2 pretty girls came over with a little veggie tray. Another guy had beer but no ice. I put them on ice and gave him a cold one. In short order we had us a little freeway block party. Kids throwing frisbees, people strolling about. It was actually pretty cool. Then about 45 minutes into this a CHP on a bike rolled through telling everyone to get back in their cars. The problem had been cleared up - 2 separate semi accidents pretty much shut everything down. It’s definitely the fondest memory I have of being stuck in traffic.

My Mom, Dad, and I had a similar experience with her brother and his family. Memorial Day Friday, 1974. Got to their place in Culver City around 1300, had some lunch and chat, finished loading up to go to their cabin in Jawbone Canyon. Left about 1500 and it took about 6 hours to get to Hwy 14. We'd strike up conversations, then one lane would move a little. You'd catch up with each other again, chat some more. People were getting out of their vehicles, making sandwiches, swapping food and drinks. A nice long party on the freeway to start the weekend.
