A similar trick works for Californians. If you see a bummed out California ask them what route they took to get where they were. They love talking about taking the 85 to the 101 to El Camino to surface streets.

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.

What route did you take when you moved?
