Shannon pointed me to this on Myspace. I'm certain Boro residents won't understand, but it was too good not to post. So...
you know the real name is San Buenaventura
you've eaten at Denny's at 2 am
you know what the Avenue, Pierpont, Saticoy, and Montalvo are you've never seen a white Christmas
you hardly ever go to the beaches in Ventura
you know the Santa Clara river is there, it's just always dried up
you know the names of explorers but only because every middle school is named after one
you laugh at the OC and are glad you don't live there cause you know what it's really like
your favorite place to eat is Snapper Jack's
you've seen Kevin Costner at the Buena Ventura game
you avoid the 101 on Sundays because of all the traffic heading into LA
you're darn proud of the landmarks we have, including the two trees, the cross, and the mission
you complain its sooo hot when it reaches above 75
you complain its sooo cold when it reaches below 50
you understand the meaning of cross town rivalry
you love Jamba Juice and Robeks
you love corn burritos from Foster Freeze
you miss the 101 Drive In Theater, but you don' t mind shopping at Kohl's
when people ask where you're from you say between LA and Santa Barbara
you only are in the news if there is a fire, earthquake or mudslide
you see a "storm watch" when it barely sprinkles
you've been to the pier and Eric Ericsson's
you get Telephone and Telegraph mixed up, but know they are completely different
you love ice blocking at Arroyo Verde
you avoid Costco on Sunday's
the nearest Walmart is in the Nard
you know what the Nard is
you think downtown area has steep hills
you can see the Johnson Dr. movie theater from miles away because of the purple neon lights
you think that there is nothing to do in Ventura
you know of the only bowling alley, mini golf course and skating rink are within a block from each other
you refer to miniature golf as "Golf 'N' Stuff" no matter
where you go
you can't tell when the seasons change
you've had school cancelled because of "rain days"
you know the beaches are only good for bonfires because the ocean stays the same temperature of 50 degrees year round |
