Gimme Your Money! 
 
A man was walking down a street in Washington. A man walking behind him suddenly pulled out a gun and said, 
"Gimme all your money, now!"

Could A 405 Expressway Tunnel Dramatically Improve Traffic?  Imagine your traveling on the 405. It's backed up. A bad accident ahead. Next exit ahead... the 405 tunnel. That's right. A tunnel that would take you along an expressway under the 405 through the Sepulveda Pass or, a park and ride where you can pick up a subway. 

This may be LA's westside future.
