Oh no, I know that location very well. I don’t recall there being a 99 Ranch back then, but it’s more or less the same area I remember from college days.
Context, it’s a very affluent part of LA bordering Beverly Hills and Bel Air. It’s also one of the main routes to get to UCLA so a lot of commuters via bus and bike, although the latter is painfully uphill. Going back is extremely fun, though I generally kept to side streets to avoid certain death.
I also almost got hit around there; A little east of there near the Beverly Hills border I was nearly hit by a very elderly driver in a BMW speeding to a stop in an intersection for a right turn (y’know, when they overshoot the crosswalk without checking for pedestrians). I definitely see more elderly drivers in that area, my personal guess is they’re entitled enough to think they have a right to their car despite age and ability.
