"We travel California Interest 210 west and north from Pasadena to its western terminus with I-5 just south of Newhall (Santa Clarita). We start on the California 710 stub freeway (the northernmost end of the unconstructed I-710 through Alhambra and Pasadena), which feeds in into I-210 west through Pasadena, the town of La Canada Flintridge, and the northernmost sections of Los Angeles terminating at I-5 just before it's junction with California Highway 14. This scenic route passes through the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, and we also pass California Highway 2 and Highway 118 along the way.

Interstate 710 (Long Beach to Pasadena) - original synth soundtrack

video upload by CatSynth TV

"We take a trip along Interstate 710, also known as the "Long Beach Freeway", one of the major freeways in the Los Angeles Metropolitan area. We start on California Highway 91 in the town of Bellflower and then switch on to I-710 northbound at the northern edge of Long Beach. The freeway winds its way through several towns and neighborhoods along the Los Angeles River before turning northward towards Pasadena. Along the way, we cross several other major freeways, Interstate 105, Interstate 5, California 60, and Interstate 10.

I-710 currently ends somewhat abruptly at an intersection with Valley Boulevard in the town of Alhambra. Originally intended to continue northward to Pasadena, the extension has been blocked by community opposition, and it this point will likely never be completed.

"We explore the CP-70 V, a new instrument from Arturia released as part of V Collection X. It's a recreation of Yamaha's classic CP-70 electro-acoustic piano that combined customized piano strings and hammer action with piezoelectric pickups, a pre-amp, and other electronic processing. It's compact size made it a "portable piano" and a popular instrument for touring artists in the 1970s and beyond.

We go over the CP-70 V's features, including the main panel that recreates the look and feel of the original, the advanced panel that allows finer control over the acoustic and electric aspects of the instrument, the effects panel, and some factory presets.

The original Tappan Zee Bridge open in 1955 - it was only designed for a life span of 50 years, and was showing signs of decay by the 2000s. It was replaced in 2017 by the new twin cable-stayed span that we see in this video.
