CA 110 South, Historic US 66 West - Arroyo Seco Pkwy, Harbor Fwy - Pasadena to Downtown Los Angeles
So after messing around with YouTube settings and trying to figure out why my video was not looking good, I was finally able to get it looking better than it was and finally decided it was time to release it publicly.
Today we traverse a road we have already taken, but with fresh, new footage, editing and direction. CA 110 South may not be quite as interesting as CA 110 North which runs through the historic Figueroa Tunnels, but it is interesting in it's own right. The completed parkway opened on December 30th, 1940. Complete with then-modern touches we now take for granted - including controlled access via entrance and exits ramps, a lanes-width emergency shoulder, dual carriage ways and a whopping speed limit of 45 MPH - the Parkway was the first controlled-access highway in the western United States, cut the commute time from Pasadena to Los Angeles in half and helped cement the modern car culture that dominates Los Angeles and most of the southwest today.
Those modern touches are now either removed or are now woefully outdated; Ramps are so short that some are required to stop at the base of the ramp and floor it to merge into the 55 MPH+ traffic, the emergency lane was re-striped to expand the traffic capacity of the roadway in the 1950s, and the lanes are so narrow some drivers may feel claustrophobic in some larger vehicles while feeling compelled to do 5 MPH over the speed limit around tight curves. Most don't realize that the road was designed and built in a time when being able to do a mile a minute - 60 MPH - was considered ground breaking.
Before 1953, the expressway ended at and merged onto modern Figueroa St to make it's final trip in Downtown. Planning in the mid-late 1940s and building in the late 1940s to early 1950s would extend the Arroyo Seco Parkway (then US 6, 66, 99 and SSR 11) west-southwest to the proposed Four-Level Interchange directly north of Downtown to meet the new Hollywood (then US 66, 101 now US 101), Santa Ana (then US 99, 101, now US 101) and Harbor (then US 6 and SSR 11, now SR 110) Freeways. The extension opened in 1953 and a year later the Arroyo Seco Parkway was renamed to the Pasadena Freeway. This was done to bring the transitional parkway-freeway hybrid's name into the modern naming convention of naming the freeways after cities or landmarks they begin or end at.
In early 2011, to commemorate the 70th birthday of the Pasadena Freeway, California restored it's name to the Arroyo Seco Parkway and began changing all 'Freeway Entrance' signs to 'Parkway Entrance' signs. This was done for a few reasons, including it's inclusion that year to the National Register of Historic Places (and probably also in hopes that tourists will understand that it is not a full freeway). In addition it became Southern California's first National Scenic Byway in 2002.

Between March and July, Rachel and I took a trip around the United States. Leaving from Tennessee, directly west across the Southwest to the Pacific coast, north along 101 through Big Sur to Northern Cali where we WWOOFed for the first time, further north to western Oregon to our second WWOOFing destination. Then north east to the mountains and the Great American Prairie in Montana.
It has been an epic journey to say the least. One that has revealed the magnitude, awe and beauty of nature ten-fold to that which we had merely heard about and imagined all of our lives in traditional modernity.
Get out and see your world. There is much to appreciate. Any experience that makes you feel a bit smaller, a bit humbler, a bit more knowledgable, can yield a perspective that few in our age ever achieve. We live in an amazing universe, there is no doubt. Our planet, alone, is proof of that.
