sarasvati1. Go to Google.
2. Enter "You know you're from (your city/state/province name) when..." Use the quote marks and everything.
3. Click the I'm Feeling Lucky button.
4. Copy and paste the list here, and boldface the items that apply to you.
1. You see nothing wrong with one family owning 90% of the city. (Sort of. It's weird when I think about it, but I don't often think about it.)
2. You see crazy people as funny and entertaining instead of scary and frightening.
3. You remember all the previous names for the bars downtown (Some of them, anyway.)
4. You're a fan of the MP, Elsie Wayne and have seen her dance at hockey games.
5. You made fun of Harbour Station's name when it first came out but now you like it.
6. You've gotten used to the "Saint John 2001" eyesore that greets you when you come in to the city.
7. The Loyalist man billboard doesn't make you want to turn around and go somewhere else.
8. You fondly remember under-age drinking at Tucker Park.
9. You believe O'Leary's is the greatest pub in the universe.
10. All your friends have worked in a call-centre at one time or another.
11. You remember the joy at seeing the first exhibition trailers show up at exhibition park.
12. You parents let you actually go to the ex even though none of the staff looked capable of operating a toaster let alone a complicated piece of machinery (Eventually, of course, though I was in my teens when it first happened.)
13. You refer to McAllister Place as "the mall" since every other mall in Saint John pretty much blows.
14. You remember heated rivalries between St. Macs and Saint John High even though you had about the same amount of friends in both no matter what high school you went to. (I knew someone whose brother went to St. Mac's, but most of the people I knew went to SJHS with me. But still, I remember the pointless rivalry, yeah.)
15. You've spent many a Thursday night at the AQ even though you hated that fat radio guy host.
16. You don't think the West side smells that bad. (When you get away from Simm's corner and Lancaster mall, it doesn't smell that bad.)
17. You have an oil refinery in your back yard but still pay more for gas then most of Canada.
18. You're pretty sure you know the location of at least one downtown crackhouse.
19. You're not freaked out by having an 19th century graveyard right in the middle of the uptown area, and actually use it as a place to relax.
20. This list either makes you laugh or brings back fond memories.
