I'll second Gypsy Jan on her insight and memory, I agree whole heartly, it is simply a So Cal kinda of cultural thing.

It seems like it has always just been plain ol Baja for me. No big deal; Cabo San Lucas is Cabo, Los Angeles is L.A., and yes even San Fransico is just Frisco in my vocabulary.

Still, I sure do recall my Son-in Law, who is as old fashioned rasied ranchero style Baja Californiano as they come comfortably as all gid out refering to Baja California as La Baja, quien sabe, Sara

I say Baja in english, but refer to it as Baja California in Spanish.

I learn by copying how others say it, and it sounds strange to me to hear "the Baja."

Canadian or Colonial connotations.
