...if there's anything you all need I'm coming from Phx,AZ to Montgomery,TX...going the 10...will not pick up cars..but can get your parts for you...just helping out since I'm coming that way....I leave thursday morning...

I still think its funny to hear people from the west coast talk about freeways.
the 10
the 8
awesome

Yeah, I've got a guy here in my office that drives on the "the" 35 everyday to work Welcome to Texas

If you happen to see a great 4-tab or early 3-tab along the way, grab it for me!!!
I live off the 105

I drive the 35 every day....what's wrong with that?
Is it improper? Should I say Interstate 35 instead?
There are sooooo many freeways in Cali it's just implied that it's the freeway.
Besides the street names are real names out there so not to get confused.
None of this Ranch to market road 620 or Farm to market 1431
What the hell? This isn't 1924 anymore.

Texas (proudly) still has a large percentage of its ranches and farmlands that hasn't been bought up and tract built like other places.

No, it's the "the" in front of everything that's different than us. i.e. take the 35 to the 30 then over to the 45... Texans say take 35 to 30 then over to 45..

haha don't mind Boom... as a fellow Phoenician, he still gives me crap for it too.... and I'm his wife

Candi I did not know you were ancient Phoenician
Phoe·ni·cian

adjective /fəˈnēSHən/ 
Of or relating to Phoenicia or its colonies, or its people, language, or alphabet

noun /fəˈnēSHən/ 
Phoenicians, plural

A member of a Semitic people inhabiting ancient Phoenicia and its colonies. The Phoenicians prospered from trade and manufacturing until the capital, Tyre, was sacked by Alexander the Great in 332 bc

The Semitic language of this people, written in an alphabet that was the ancestor of the Greek and Roman alphabets

Consider this: According to the City of Phoenix official website,
which briefly discusses the subject, the City states outright that the
proper nickname is indeed ?Phoenicians?:

?People from Phoenix are called Phoenicians. Now keep in mind that
there is no hard-and-fast definition of this term. Some use it to
describe those hardy individuals who have lived all there lives in
Phoenix while a good many others would expand the term to include
anyone who has experienced the Phoenix lifestyle, been enchanted by
the city?s charm and has chosen to, live, work, play, learn or to
regularly return here.?

Does that make it technically correct? Well, no, but common practice
often takes precedence in informal matters, especially where slang and
nicknaming conventions are concerned. It does appear that the media
also commonly refers to residents of Phoenix as ?Phoenicians?:

?Phoenicians who are sick of the heat, the waste, the violence, and
the Californians are moving to Seattle in huge numbers.?

?Only Phoenicians will vote in their $878.5 million bond issue
election on March 14??

There is even a website devoted to the matter (note the domain name):

SPIRIT OF PHOENIX

Wikipedia, an only encyclopedia of facts, indicates that the nickname
?Phoenicians? is indeed the proper and acceptable reference to Phoenix
residents:

If you don?t agree with the term Phonecians, you can always join in
the informal effort to unofficially dub residents of Central Phoenix
?CenPho?s?
