It's funny you say that. I grew up in So Cal, and learned to drive in downtown Los Angeles. When I left CA, the biggest culture shock for me was NOT having freeways that lead to anywhere you wanted to go. Surface streets and state highways were almost an alien concept.
+1. I learned in sandy eggo. You should try driving on an FM (Farm Road). We rarely go to cities any more, and try destination shopping when we to.
Yeah, Portland was a lot like that. The place I live now is a lot like that too. Literally only 1 freeway.
