2007 Playoff Billboards

I was driving down I-5 (south) today back to the Diego, and noticed right before Knott Ave (aka the Knott's Berry Farm Exit in Buena Park) there was a huge Orange billboard with a Ducks playoff logo and the Captain, Pronger, and Selanne on it.

Anyone see this? I thought it was not only a great ad for the playoffs but an excellent location.

Kudos to Burke and his staff for a great ad. I had no idea it was a ducks ad but the Orange background drew my attention to the ad in the millions of other sensory overloads on that stretch of freeway.

Nice, thanks for letting us know about it! :)

GJ Burke and Ducks Marketing Team!

I think I saw one before but I don't remember the location. It was either on the way to Disneyland (Anaheim: which would make sense) or Irvine. When I saw it, I was going "Go ducks" but in my head.

Sorry to be OT and random, but how far south does I-5 go? Just curious since I'm not from the west coast, and I'm near the northern end of it.

Thanks,

the I-5 goes basically down to mexico

I-5 starts at the Canadian border and goes all the way to the mexican border. Technically, I-5 starts as Canadian Highway 99 in downtown Vancouver.

The interstate sytem is kind of interesting actually. The ones that end in 5 go north south. 5-15, etc. increasing from west to east. 95 runs along the East coast.

The ones that end in 0 go east west. Starting from the 10 which runs through the south up to I think 90 which runs from Seattle to Boston.

One of the few things in this country that makes sense.

Cool, thanks!

I-90 must run pretty far south. Everyone always asks if that's how I would come over, but I don't think it comes near the Cities.

Not exactly. Routes with odd two-digit numbers (not necessarily ending in 0) run north and south, while even two-digit numbers (not necessarily ending in 5) run east and west. For north-south routes, the lowest numbers begin in the west, while the lowest numbered east-west routes are in the south. By this method, Interstate Route 5 (I-5) runs north-south along the west coast, while I-10 lies east-west along the southern border.

Connecting Interstate routes and full or partial circumferential beltways around or within urban areas carry a three-digit number. These routes are designated with the number of the main route and an even-numbered prefix. Supplemental radial and spur routes, connecting with the main route at one end, also carry a three-digit number, using the number of the main route with an odd-number prefix.

Yeah I guess I knew that it's odds and not 5, considering I take I-83 to work every day. But I think that ending in 5 or 0 means it's a huge one, the kind that go all the way across the country versus a smaller one that only crosses a few states.

Yeah, that's always confused me.

I don't see how the 605 is an interstate. It starts at the 210 and goes to the 405.:dunno:

3 digit interstates aren't interstates that cross states. The last 2 digits are the REAL interstates that they branch off of. They form beltways, spurs, or connectors between interstates at cities.

Thanks. I've actually been wondering about that for awhile.

Although there is a 405 in Seattle. Not sure if it's continuous with the 405 in Cali.

Not at all (Used to live in Seattle). 405 in Seattle veers off of I-5 just south of Seattle and basically veers around the east side of Lake Washington and links back up with I-5 north of Seattle.

Yep, because interstate highways receive federal funds for repair.

Fascinating thread.

Okay, now it makes sense. Still, it sounds kind of silly.
