Yep - that one killed me. I'd listen to the traffice reports on the radio and couldn't figure it where that was in relation to 125. Then one day . . . the lights went on!

Your house is worth more than the GDP of some small countries.

You know what MB, OB, and PB stand for.

You know someone who doesn't own pants, and have a neighbor who doesn't seem to own a shirt.

You know what Santa Ana's are, and that they have literally nothing to do with the city of Santa Ana.

You know what a California burrito is.

You never, under any circumstances call it anything other than "the Gaslamp."

You never, under any circumstances call it anything other than "L.A."

Julian Pies.

You're shocked when you find out people have never been to the beach, and even more shocked to find out some have never seen the Ocean.

In elementary school you were forced to do countless "duck and cover" earthquake drills.

Your childhood dream was to become a dolphin trainer at Sea World.

You love driving on the 52, just for those crazy bumps that they always try (and fail) to smooth over.

You know someone who knows someone who knows Reggie Bush.

You remember where you were the day of the Santana High School Shootings.

When you were a kid you thought the Mormon Church was a castle, or Disneyland.

You know what this sign means:
http://www.trafficsignstore.com/W54.jpg

You still call it Christmas on the Prado

"Nobody beats, El Cajon Ford!"

You've never had a snow day, but you've had a week off for fires.

Every time there's a major snow storm in the Midwest or the Northeast, the next day's newspaper has a picture of children playing on the beach on the front page.

You remember going to the WB store at UTC as a kid and playing in that tunnel thing they had.

Everytime you watch the weather you expect to hear "and here's the KUUUUUUUUUUUUUSI forecast" and/or "no flipping!" because of John Coleman.

You know the worst traffic in the world is Saturday morning-afternoon going south on the 5 and Sunday afternoon-evening going north on the 5.

You remember when 619 was the only area code in San Diego. And you get a little excited when you see Reggie Bush put 619 on his eye black.

You can surf and snowboard in the same day, but you've never felt like actually doing it.

You know the difference between UCSD and SDSU.

You know all the places where "Bring it On" and "Top Gun" were filmed.

Pretty much every area has a high school with "Rancho" in the name.

You've heard the phrase "Spring comes in Summer, Summer comes in Fall, Fall comes in Winter, and Winter not at all."

You've talked about going to Vegas when you turn 21 for like 5 years.

You've had Carne Asada Fries.

You've watched the Prep Pigskin Report, and most likely know someone on it.

You remember Premium 92/1, Q106.5, Star 100.7, and my 94.1.

You know that Cal Worthington will never die.

You went on a field trip to Cabrillo National Monument on Point Loma.

You know what "The Turko Files" are, and are still a little afraid of his mustache.

Great list...I totally remember where I was during the Santana shootings...I had just dropped my daughter off at school, 1st grade at Prospect in Santee...ran across the street to Vons (when it was in its original location) to buy a few things and get some lunch money for my daughter when I heard tons of sirens while I was there and wondering what was going on....went back to Prospect to leave my daughter her lunch money and the ladies in the office were all gathered around the tv crying, I asked what happened and that's when I found out.....such a tragedy...needless to say the school was on lockdown so I couldn't even go to my daughter's class. Later we went and left some things at the memorial and I remember going and giving blood one morning at West Hills...I had my toddler with me and those high school kids at West Hills were just amazing with him, keeping him occupied while I gave blood.

Family Fun Center on Fletcher Parkway (wasn't that what it was called, miniature golf)
Breakfast at Sambos (loved their French Toast!)
Since I'm remember East County:
Cruising down 2nd street!
The Yogurt Mill, yum! I would like a chocolate with carob chips!
