That migrated down from LA.
As a native born San Diegan, It still grates on me to

That’s pretty common in more than just LA.
When I was in Bellingham, WA there was a weird thing where roads/streets within the city were described without a “the” in front of them, but when the road crossed out of the city, into the county “the” was added to them.
So the same road would be “Guide-Meridian” in town, but became “The Guide-Meridian” as soon as you crossed the city boundary. Same with Chuckanut drive (which became “the Chuckanut Drive”). Drove me nuts for the several years I lived in Bellingham.
