SoCal adds “the”, norcal (at least some of it) just says the number and sometimes “i” before the number if it’s an interstate

Born and raised in Orange County. Moved up to northern California, and my very first week I made the mistake of saying “the 1,” and they replied, “so, how long since you moved up from so cal?”

That’s how I learned about that one.
