rachel1997 Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 This is for any of you who either lived in Brooklyn, visited Brooklyn, have heard the many stories that come out of Brooklyn or are just downright jealous of "us here" You're truly from Brooklyn if you can relate to any of the following: 1. You like Dion. 2. You know someone who went to Lafayette or New Utrecht. 3. Every Asian is Chinese and there is no difference between a Puerto Rican and a Dominican- they're all SPANISH. 4. Is it just me, or is every girl from Bensonhurst a real bitch? 5. You've taken the B14. 6. You once fell asleep on the B train after midnight, and the conductor woke you up in Coney Island. 7. If you're from Long Island or Staten Island you're not really from NEW YORK. 8. You don't go to Manhattan, you go to "the City." 9. The Belt Parkway sucks, so does the BQE but you know them like the back of your hand. 10.You always change at Pacific or 36th Street.... 11. You never realize you have an accent until you leave. 12.

In your neighborhood people live in groups and you know or you can tell where each group lives: Italian, Irish, Polish, Spanish, Chinese and Indian. 15. At some point in your life, you've gone fishing in Sheepshead Bay. 16. There is at least one pizzeria within 1 block of your house. 17. At least 3 of your friends worked at a Movie Theater. 18. You love Welcome Back Kotter (and not because of the crisp writing or great acting). 19. You curse. A lot. 20. You can name at least ten players on the Mets '86 team, and five people who have worked at Shea. 21. You know the difference between going with, seeing, fooling around with, and going out with someone. 22. Private beach? What's that? 23. You know where to find alcohol at 3 AM. 24. You've been to Mustard Seeds in the 80's. 25. You've had a pigeon crap on your car. 26. You've been to the Vegas Diner -- after 4 a.m. 27. Your friends came over to hang out on the stoop. 28. You have no reason to go to Queens, except for Met games. 29. You've cruised under the "L" on 86th Street. 30. You know someone with mob ties. 31. You're appalled, but go to the porn theater on Bath Ave. 32. You've been to or heard of the Lamps of China. 33. Your family lives in the same house, and the rest live a few blocks away. 34.
