You Know You're From Richmond, Virginia If...
We had Wegman's first, and it was called Ukrops
Tolls are 50¢, not $7
You've had at least one date at Maymont Park or Belle Isle, or taken pictures there for photography class
You've skinny dipped in the James River...and immediately showered
You know what Arthur Ashe has in common with Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson
...and you hate driving on the cobblestones on Monument Avenue
You know the college isn't called Richmond, it's called U of R
The kids with the multicolored hair and piercings are probably from VCU
You can identify who's from Southside, who's from Northside, who's from the West End, who's from the Fan, and who's from those counties with weird names (Varina, anyone?)
You've been to the midnight movie
You can identify what high school someone went to by sight, even though there are like 30 of them
You remember when The Landmark was called The Mosque
You go to the Outer Banks for vacation even though Virginia Beach is much closer
You know which clubs are 18 and up, and which are 21+
We don't get snow, we get ice. About an inch thick. Like once a year.
You have a strong opinion about which is best: Alley Katz, The Canal Club, or the Nanci Raygun (I mean Twisters/The 929 Club/whatever they're calling it this week)
You know at least three Carbonleaf songs by heart
You know the Nickel Bridge really costs a quarter
You know the difference between a blvd and The Boulevard
"Traffic" means it takes 5 minutes longer to get where you're going than usual. Unless it's on 95, in which case you're never getting out.
You know that with the addition of Stony Point and Short Pump, we have the most malls per capita in the country
You have a preference between Stony Point and Short Pump
You know that Sheetz has the cheapest cigarettes, cheapest gas, and best subs....anywhere.
You know that it's easy to go from a neighborhood with million-dollar homes to the sketchiest ghetto imaginable in two or three blocks
You're sick of seeing confederate flags on bumper stickers, you know someone who's a Son or Daughter of the Confederacy, you know what FFV stands for, and your US History classes tended to stop after the Civil War
You know how to find the secret parking lots in Carytown
The only reason you ever parallel park is when you're visiting in the Fan
If you're not in it, you call it CCV; if you're in, you call it The Club
You know that you haven't seen popped collar till you've seen St. Christopher's
At any given point, you could see someone with an Ivy League education standing next to someone with those horrible gelled semicircular bangs and the strongest accent ever, and it doesn't surprise you
You know someone who works for Phillip-Morris
You know you can drive an hour from Chester to Hanover and still consider yourself in "Richmond"
You know that ironically, "Open Door Christian School" was always the first to close on "snow" days
"Deltaville" and "The River" are interchangeable terms
You've jumped off the Cliff....or just smoked there
When you were there, you couldn't wait to leave....now that you're gone, you miss it like crazy
i stole this shit from this asshole.... [havemycake]
and i cant wait to have you back....
oh i'd like to add some more
you know you live in the fan if
* you've lived with Beth at some point * you have a band,comic or horror movie inspired tattoo * you have a std * you have been on myspace,livejournal,friendster,makeoutclub... and you've had sex with someone you've met on one of those sites * You've dyed your hair black or blue black * You've woken up in an alley * your bike is the most expensive thing you own... * you know every word to labyrinth, never ending story or home alone
