You might be from San Diego if... (El Cajon, Mountain View: house, high school)

[BacktoBlue]

Forgive me if this is against the rules, but I thought this would be a fun thread to have to take away from the more serious topics. Just keep on adding to the list...



Every street name is either in Spanish or Spanish related, and you're surprised when other areas don't have this.

You can determine the accuracy of someone's "I'm ghetto" claim by knowing their high school. For example, El Camino High School, Hoover High School, or Crawford High School

You see weather forcasts for four different climate zones in the same county, and aren't remotely surprised.

You routinely go or have gone to Pat & Oscar's solely to get breadsticks.

You've ever gone to Downtown San Diego and marveled at the homeless people mingling with the rich young urbanities.

You've gone to Mt. Helix in July and known you still need a jacket.

You've tailgated at Qualcomm Stadium, and for bonus points, also tailgated when it was Jack Murphy Stadium

You've been to the Wild Animal Park but can't remember the last time you went to the Zoo.

You've ever been on a field trip to see an Imax movie at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center.

You still call it the Del Mar Fair.

You say "I'm going to the track" and people know what you mean.

You understand what May-Gray and June-Gloom is.

A famous skateboarder/surfer lives in your town.

There's a North County, a South County, and an East County but no Central County.

"Mossy Nissan! Mossy Nissan! Mossy Nissan Moves You!"

You know what it means when two guys are walking in Hillcrest.

You know what it means when a girl in a short skirt is walking on El Cajon Blvd.

go see cal, go see cal, go see cal...but at one time you thought it was "puussy cow"

You've sunbathed in your area and threw snowballs on Mt. Laguna in the same day.

You know who Captain Mike is

Going waaaay back, you remember Murphy and McKeever

You remember Club Emerald City (if you clubbed back then)

More clubbing stuff, Scooners

Mission Valley meant only; Mission Valley Center, Hazard Center and Fashion Valley, nothing else.

^ Good Ones!

You've gotten stuck in the Horton Plaza parking structure traffic after a Padres game.

You know what "The Merge" is, and will plan your entire day around not being on it during rush hour

You've ever been to Belmont Park and rode the Big Dipper.

You've ever taken the Coaster and laughed at people sitting in traffic on the 5.

You know the difference between Clairemont Mesa, Kearny Mesa, and Mira Mesa.

You can correctly pronounce Tierrasanta, La Jolla, Rancho Penasquitos, Cabrillo, Jamacha, San Ysidro, Otay Mesa, and El Cajon.

You've ever been delayed at the Border Checkpoints on the 5 and the 15.

Your house doesn't have air conditioning.

You know it's San Diegan, not San Diegoan, or San Diegoite.

Everyone has their favorite beach.

No matter what the weather is, there is always someone walking around in a t-shirt, shorts, and flip flops.

You live on, near or are surrounded by hills.

You hate tourists and their bad driving. GET OFF THE ROAD NORTH DAKOTA, NOBODY WANTS YOU HERE. SERIOUSLY. GO HOME.

You go ride your bike and get run over by a car.

Thanks for ruining my fun

LOL. I had my friend from LA watch the 10 o'clock news with me just so he could see John Coleman do the weather. He couldn't get over it for days.. I was waxing nostalgic to him about other San Diego "institutions" that evening, too

LOL well John Coleman is pretty annoying in my opinion. I remember him yelling "It's Friday!!" and confetti would fall down. That was when I was like 6! and I still remember it!

Very very true with these, especially Jamacha. No one who isn't familiar with SD ever says that correctly...ever!

You know the difference between Clairemont Mesa, Kearny Mesa, and Mira Mesa

As well as Valencia Park, Lincoln Park and Mountain View. And that there's a difference between Logan Heights and Barrio Logan.

B-100

Y95

You remember when Z90 was a rock station.

The trolley went from the border to downtown and La Mesa only.

You remember when I-15 became a street in East SD/City Heights and was 40th st. Then continued as a freeway later.

You know what a "Zonie" is.

Damn I've been in SD too long haha
