In fact what sounds weird to you is what we in NorCal do all the time. Example from pleasanton take 580 to 680 north, then west on 24 to 580, then head west on 80 towards San francisco. Notice THE is not used once in reference to any interstate. THE is not necessary to state the abvious.
Don't take it personally. I use to Live in SoCal. Graduated from Gardena High so i have always noticed those little cultural FUN differences.  I didn't mean to make a big deal out of it. We NorCal folks notice it sometime and we like to give our SoCal neighbors what for in jest.  But we still love ya  |
No offense taken and now that you mention it, the NorCal thing is so true. My wife went to grad school up there and I have a sister up there so I've spent my share of time on 680 and 24.
It didn't even occur to me. Sometimes NorCal and SoCal are like two seperate states.
