Watt Ave, Arden-Arcade

..... IT'S REALLY NOISY TOO, BUT THEY'RE REALLY COOL, NOISY PEOPLE.

Watt is one of those streets that people will use for their commute, to reach shopping centers, to get to the freeway on the way out of town, and as a landmark when directing people unfamiliar with the area. If you're getting the idea Watt is a useful street for cars and commerce, you're right where I was leading you.

While Howe Ave. (which parallels Watt to the west) is relatively pretty with its tree lined center medians and nicely maintained apartment complexes, business centers, and shopping malls, Watt Avenue is quite spartan and barren feeling in comparison.

The businesses along Watt seem less interested in appearances as they put huge parking lots between themselves and the street.

Homes and apartment complexes along Watt are mostly hidden behind fences and walls. This makes Watt more of a thoroughfare and a less pleasant drive.

As far as it's usefullness, Watt is very good at handling lots of traffic between Highway 50 and Highway 80 as people commute to and from their homes.
