Americans think 200 years is a long time.

Europeans think 200 miles is a long drive.

Point in case, (sorry bout OT): Dating a girl who had many relatives from Wales and England. Her uncle and family came over here (Cleveland), and as we're all sitting around at dinner, he asks "hey, maybe we could go see the Grand Canyon tomorrow?"


EDIT: Sorry I have no info on San Fran, just thought I'd share that anecdote.

The end of Fiddler On The Roof. The Jewish peasants are clearing out of Tsarist Russia, and this line crops up:

But it's true. The next city out of Salt Lake is Las Vegas, a mere 350 miles.
