Miracles of miracles, the car mad residents of Los Angeles actually listened and stayed home. Businesses did take a hit, though. I was in Beverly Hills over the weekend and quite a few of the businesses had signs on their door saying they were closing for the weekend. Restaurants that are usually packed were mostly empty. Driving around the L.A. area was a breeze due to the many MIA drivers. Some people are even saying the closing of the 405 freeway should be a regular event. I say anything that seals off the residents of the San Fernando Valley from the rest of us is good...
