“Everything in LA is either twenty minutes or two hours away” as the saying goes.
I moved to Atlanta pre-pandemic and I’m still amazed that some people won’t drive 15 minutes to come visit me. I live “outside the Perimeter” (we have a ring freeway) and culturally it’s as if I live in Lancaster and they’re coming from Downtown LA. Acquaintances originally from New York and Miami have noted the same thing and we all get a huge laugh out of it.
