I always heard it called that when I lived in Santa Barbara. And Commander Cody's version of "Hot Rod Lincoln" refers to a "Grapevine hill," after leaving San Pedro for a drive; not conclusive, but I always thought it referred to driving up _the_ Grapevine. Also, LA people usually refer to stretches of road as "the 405," "the Santa Monica," "the 5," and so on. (We No. Cal. folks rarely do, except for a few examples like "the Nimitz.") --Tim May
