Geography beyond Brooklyn is a mystery to you 4. You were a part of the NYC public school system at some time in your life 5. Anyone who has an accent and lives outside of NYC sounds 'country'. 6. You lock your doors and windows 7. There's a Chinese/Jamaican/Spanish/Pizza restaurant within a five mile radius of your house/apt. 8. You hate the Knicks, but love the Yankees. 9. If you agree with this statement: "God have mercy on the person that looks at you funny on the street" 10. You're used to police sirens and ambulances at night. 11. You shop regularly at a bodega aka corner store 12. Any movie you've seen about NYC (or filmed in NYC) you've recognized the location 13. The only thing you like about Jersey is the sales tax. 14. You've seen a fair share of crackheads 15. Your lungs are used to the pollution and you don't mind the water 16. You own any of the following: A Northface, a pair of tims or a pair of Jordans 17.You eva hopped on tha $1 van 18. You only trust Dominicans with your hair regime 19. Your idea of the mall is Fordham Road, Fulton Street, Jamaica Ave, 125th or 8th Street 20. You don't have a driver's license 21. You remember when Dr. Dre and Ed Lova was on Hot 97 22. You don't shop at Green Acres 23. You know that all the west indians reside in Rosedale, if they not already in BK 24. You can spot a fake Chanel bag, Dior sunglasses or Lacoste dress, coming str8 from tha Ave. 25. You miss the Chinese & African bootleggers. 26. Your use to seeing a cop at ery corner on the Ave. 27. You had a fight in front of McDonalds on the ave. 28. The party's are the truth. 29. You actually understand reggae music and know the dances. 30. You think 42nd street is super played out.
