As usual in Los Angeles, the whole Carmageddon thing was overblown. Some vendors lost income because they decided to close for the weekend. Some spent extra money booking hotel rooms, going out of town, etc. It hit me last week as I heard people say these things, that the closure of the 405 wasn’t going to be the big deal the city was “predicting”. It’s downright pathetic.
