eh, a bit of errors in the allentown thing
sorry megan i stole this from you, and i found one not just fro mPA, but from my hometown of Allentown!!!!! hehe that's creepy... i'll tell you if these are true or not, some aren't, or comment cause i'm bored. NO BAND!!!
You Know You're From Allentown, PA When...
You have your friends from other cities come to visit and they hear gun shots and you shrug it off like its no big deal...in fact you didn't even hear them until you friend pointed it out.
While you're driving and stop at a red light, the people on all sides of you have the bass turned up so high on their radios your windows start to shake
You get cravings for hoagies, shoo fly pie, and pierogies (whoo goo Pennyslania dutch- we invented shoofly pie)
Friendly's is considered the place to "be" with all your friends and your always there no matter what time of day or night (center city allentown actually DOES NOT have a friendly's lol, this is about center city life though)
When it snows you put chair's in your parking spot after you've dug it out so ur stupid neighbors don't steal it from you while your gone (a bit of a note, that's actually how people write in high school.. chair's instead of chairs)
You see people outside "chillin" on their porches at all hours of the night but during the day its quiet and peaceful
You walk down the street and a car slows down by you and you hear "hey ma!, How ya doin? Holla atcha boy!" and you keep walking and the people in the car yell back "it's aiight you still beautiful!"
You hear that snow's coming and you know that you most likely won't have school the next day or will have a school delay even if there's barely any accumulation or its mixed with rain (if snow is in the overnight forecast, half don't do their work, half do so as not to jinx the snow)
You can name all the high schools in the city. Yup that's right all of them, you know the 2 public ones (Dieruff and Allen) and the only private one (Central) - (not to mention bethlehem catholic, parkland, whitehall and emmaus)
You call your group of friends "Da gang".
You don't know what a sub is, but you think they are trying to describe an imitation HOAGIE. (subs and hoagies are the same. they just are. don't even try to argue this, cause they are the same thing. no, stop. they are the SAME THING, PEOPLE!!!!! but people try to pass them off as different. it's amusing listening to how people try to pass them off as something different, cause it never works)
You can walk to everything, inculding the supermaket due to how close it is.
When you get bored you go the corner store and see what's going on there and who's killed who. (hahahaha!)
You school is in the middle of drug/killing infested areas and it's right across from a hospital (15th and chew... there's a school, a hospital, and drug place next to eachother, seriously)
The local Jordan Creek has pot growing around it naturally along with shopping carts and air conditioners.
You live off of A-Treat soda
You don't think Wawa sounds funny (YES, we do! lol)
You pronounce the word horrible as harrable (NOT TRUE!!!!)
You think Tastycakes are the best thing (GAH!!! NOOOOO!!!!!)
You realize that besides going to the movies and places to eat Allentown really has nothing great to offer, not to the youth anyway.
You refer to Allentown as A-Town (hence, the famous phrase, "there's nothing to do in allentown")
When and IF you graduate from high school you leave for college in another state or go as far from Allentown as possible (or go to penn state)
Everyone you meet is Ghetto even that rich white kid (sadly, this is true)
You think going to Walmart at 3 in the morning is the most fun thing to do ever (errr... our only walmart is closed at midnight, but close enough)
You know the time and location of every Wing Night in a 10 mile radius.
You have ever ended a sentence with "a while". Ex. "You know it happens every once and a while." (whatever?)
You think Fasnacht Day and Groundhog Day are national holidays. (groundhog day is, but you don't get the day off... Faschnacht, please spell it right, is only in this state)
You know that "long johns" are something you eat, not something you wear
"Hey Yuz Guyz" is your traditional greeting. (yes, YUZ, is how it's said, but it's prounounces "you-z", not "yuh-z")
You know how to pronounce Schuylkill and other weird names like that. (skook-ill or shook-ill, depending on where you are.. this is actually an expressway in philadelphia... they mean names like Brienegsville and Schoenersville road and stuff- very german)
You sleep soundly through gunfire and ambulance sirens.
You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Allentown.
