Route 66: Crusing the American Dream
"In Los Angeles, most people think little of driving for every purpose: to see a friend, to buy cigarettes or an ice cream cone, to watch the sunset. Your world is centered on the automobile, which gives you an unprecedented and addicting degree of freedo m. The freeway becomes as much a part of your life as the street you live on - perhaps you even know the former one more intimately. You accustom yourself to enjoy as much or as little of any particular amenity that you choose to pursue on the road: 'The freeway allows you to create your own life. Your community is not formed by geography or ethnicity or common interests, and it is not unusual to drive 45 minutes for a casual dinner with friends."
