My friend in Savannah (GA) got this from a friend in Greenville (SC) and forwarded it for Valentine’s Day.
I had to edit extensively because some of the items were SO Memphis that they might not translate to non-Memphians.
YOU KNOW YOU ARE FROM MEMPHIS WHEN:
The main attraction at the most expensive hotel is the ducks
You know someone who knows Justin Timberlake
Everyone runs outside at the sight of the first snowflake!
You know what the little ‘helicopter leaves’ do when you pick em up and drop em!
You know that 107.5 FM will change names every year without fail..
Prince Mongo & Jerry “The King” Lawler are on the Mayor’s ballot
You don’t really care about the Grizzlies, but you love the TIGERS!
You know what real Barbecue is.
Nonconnah means Autobahn
You’re scared of Germantown Cops
Someone in your family has an Elvis story
You’ve never been to Graceland
Our tap water is like your Evian.
Goin’ muddin’ is a sport
The weather doesn’t go with the season.
You just call the Mississippi “The River.”
You didn’t know that the Old Bridge and the New Bridge had names.
You’ve had to switch the thermostat from heat to air in the same day
You can say “Take Poplar” and get anywhere from anywhere.
You know you can make it anywhere in Memphis in “about 15 minutes”
You still call it Memphis State
You know that McAllisters is the best p lace to get Sweet Tea!
Somebody says “201” the first thing that comes to mind ain’t got nothin’ to do with a clock. I bet you’d be hard pressed to find another city where everyone in the city knows the street address of the jail!
You speed everywhere, EXCEPT Bartlett and Germantown.
You drive on the same road and it’s name changes several times the further you go.
You know there are at least seven Macon Roads, Kirby Roads, Memphis-Arlingtons and Raleigh-LaGranges.
You haven’t moved in ten years but have lived in two different cities.
Feel to add yours to the list.
Happy Valentine’s Day. Be nice to someone today!
