I just learned that North Yemen was southwest of South Yemen. I always assumed that North Yemen was the one to the north.
Locally, we have Covina and West Covina. West Covina is mostly south of Covina.

Have you ever gone west on the northbound 101?

@alienghic no, i've gone north on the northbound 101. when you're on the freeway, the direction you go is based on the freeway, not the cardinal directions of earth

@MLE_online

I lived in the valley for a while and I found the ~50 miles of mostly east/west confusing.

@alienghic the thing is, i would never say "go west on the 101." I would say, "take the 101 north and get off at Reseda" or something like that.

@MLE_online

Now I remember why I thought it confusing.

It was the signs fault.

This is coldwater canyon & the 101 on ramp.

@alienghic @MLE_online Heading East on the North 101 right now!!
