Bringing up these freeways brings back bad memories. I was born in Covina, lived my 20s in Riverside (Mira Loma) and 30s in Orange County (Placentia). Worked in Torrance. Carpooled and still was 1-1/2 hrs in the morning and 2 hrs in the evening. For those not in the area, that's about 30 miles. In 2 hrs. While in the Carpool lanes.
My favorite place is where the 57 and 210 dump onto the 10 Eastbound in Pomona. 8 lanes go down to 4 in a 1/2 mile.
