OK. You know you have lived in Cleveland if...

This is the best I could find... sorry.

YOU KNOW YOU HAVE LIVED IN CLEVELAND IF...


You know you don't really have an accent, the rest of the world does.

You hear there are always famous people in town, but you have never seen one.

You hate country music, don't know anyone that does like country music,
and yet WGAR just won the country music station of the year.

You find it hard to believe that someone as cool as Tom Hanks
made his start here. But you'd brag about it.

You take credit for Cedar Point even though it is 2 hours away.

You honestly believe that Cleveland is the best city in the world.

The Tri-C jingle "students for life" scares the hell out of you.

You take Dead Man's Curve at 60 mph holding your breath.

You know about the Eastside/Westside rivalry, but don't really understand it.

"Good Morning from the Buzzard Morning Zoo" is a jingle you'll never forget.

Your neighborhood schools went without sports
because all the senior citizens refused to pass the levies.

You actually know how to pronounce Cuyahoga.

You can't tell Brook Park, Brooklyn, or Old Brooklyn apart.

You see Christmas lights still up in July.

You love BW-3, but have no clue what the heck weck is.

You find yourself singing "Garfield 1-2323" in the shower.

You're still dumbfounded by the Leaping Fountain in Tower City.

You have never ridden in a taxi.

You wear shorts the first day of the year it isn't below 30 and snowing,
just because you can.

You have gotten 3 speeding tickets,
and they are all from the mile long stretch of a suburb named Linndale.

You have no idea how exactly to get to the Flats,
you just kind of end up on a bank and start partying.

You really don't know what the Warehouse District is,
you just know that it's a great place to party.

You know who the Jake really is.

You hate Baltimore and you have never been there.

St. Patty's Day is your number one holiday, and you aren't Irish.

You're still relishing 1987 when we ALMOST made it to the Super Bowl.

You counted down with the monument in Tower City
to the exact second in 1999 when the Browns came back.

You heard Bill Clinton and Drew Carey love Parma Pierogies,
but you have yet to ever eat there.

You know Tower City isn't a city at all.

You're Polish.

Stories of Little Italy still send chills down your spine.

At least half of your wardrobe is Tribe apparel.

You know all the 4 seasons: Almost Winter, Winter, Still Winter, and Construction.

3. You know you have lived in Cleveland if..."
Your car doesn't have any hub-caps cause you use them as water bowls for your Dogs.
....And you wash your floors with a garden hose.
If your car breaks down on the hi-way, you don't go back and get it.
.....Your septic-Tank consists of a plastic pipe running down a hill.
...Your wife wants to keep the cat in the house but the Hogs take up to much room. :)
