in 2oolander, theres a scene where derek zoolander has to cross the himalayas in order to get to new jersey.

I just don't see it on streets like this.

Are we really going to use Google streets here? If that's the case, then one could easily make the argument that DC is a languid ghosttown.

Houston is giving the top 3 a run for their money. It’s easily in the top 5.
