be part of a gas station
....80% of the radio stations are country and 80's rock
....people refer to what county they live in
....there are 2 sheriffs on every corner - yeah - sheriffs
....the only italian restaurant in town is closed
....the nearest landmark is zekiah swamp
....nobody sells dough for homemade pizza
....people order sweet tea at fast food restaurants
....high school fundraiser - 'mulch sale'
....you can name your driveway and it becomes a 'place'....possum trot place, no
place, harold johnson place.....
....people want you to say 'park the car in the yard'
....you get asked if you lived near long island
....you don't feel like you are at home anymore
