20 "awesome" things that say: "You know you're from BR when..."

I saw this list on 1210am's facebook page. Their page is awful. This list is terrible I think. Most of these are so untrue. The majority don't apply to me...


1. You still refer a 47 year-old bridge as “The New Bridge.”

2. You have an extra supply of Cane’s sauce in your fridge right now.

3.The whole city shut downs when the City Park lakes freeze over around the edges, and you’re OK with it.
