I'm a complete sucker for this stuff. Remember "You Know Your From Greensboro?", Now someone has developed the Winston Salem version. Classic.
Quote:
You know you're from Winston-Salem if.....
- you know Texas Pete comes from WS not from Texas
- you know Mayberry's makes the best Ice Cream
- you get excited seeing Krispy Kreme boxes in movies or 'faraway places' like L.A. because you know they're 'from Winston'
- you go to the festival of lights weeks after, or weeks before Christmas, to avoid the crowd
- The Dixie Classic Fair beats the shit out of the state fair
- You remember when Trade street was more Hookers then Art Galleries (THAT REALLY WASNT VERY LONG AGO ... AND LIBERTY STILL IS ISNT IT?)-ditto!
- You roll your eyes when people from out of town get excited by Old Salem or the Reynolda House
- You've been to a love feast at like 5 am
- You don't really care about Wake basketball, there's just not that much to do in the Winter
- You've been to Dewey's bakery
- You've hung out at Borders and stared at the weird emo kids from School of the Arts
- You own at least one North Face (or did in High School)
- You played soccer when you where 5
- Now that you're older, you thank god for Burke Street
- Your parents have dragged you to The Nut Cracker at the Stevens center every year since time out of mind
- You had Dinner at Twin City Chop House before prom
- You routinely had to drive 45 miles or more to a high school house party

- You remember the Warthogs back when they were the Spirits and you participated in the Winston Salem Journal poll to pick the name
- Senator Richard Burr once coached your soccer team

- You become completely lost and disorientated if you get to far from I-40
- You've ever waited outside for Hanes Mall to open- and you still refer to everything west of J.C. Penny's as the 'new mall'
- You have ever had a 10 minute fight about how to say Buena Vista or Reynolda
- You go to waffle house to smoke because there are to many people who happen to be related to you around, so you have to hide
- You know that after Monterey's and La Careta, Mexican food is all down hill from there
- You get real excited when you run in to Cameron Kent at Fresh Market
- You've been asked if that's where witches live
- Moravian sugar cake and/or Moravian buns are part of your holiday tradition (Yummy!!!)
- Childhood memory involved Zach's yogurt (again, Yummy!!)
- You're somehow prejudiced against people from the'big cities' of Greensboro or Raleigh, but still make fun of people from small towns like K-vegas or Rural Hall.
- You know what K-vegas means...
- You lived in the West End and you really had to walk up hill both ways to get to school.
Texas Pete is made in Winston? Really? |
