[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After living in DC now for nearly three decades, I call DC (proper) my home. Yes, I'm from somewhere else (most of us are), but at this point, I'm far more comfortable in DC than in any other city. In my mind, these are some markers of a DC local. Please add your own!

1) You know how to navigate Rock Creek Parkway, even during rush hour (both ways)
2) You know which side of the metro to get on and off of to get to where you need to go
3) You know all the Safeways by their nicknames (RIP Secret Safeway)
4) You are sad when you remember that Georgetown and Friendship Heights used to be good places to shop
5) You recognize the long-term protestors in front of the White House
6) You feel annoyed by the closures around the White House
7) You know the names of neighborhoods like Barnaby Woods, Colonial Village, Crestwood, and Hillcrest
8) You know when not to drive to the Mall (e.g., race days) and where to park for free in Georgetown (for up to two hours)
9) You know which CVSs sell wine
10) You have a mental block driving over the bridge to VA, even though you know factually that it's not that far away[/quote]

#5 and #9 made me laugh out loud. Thank you ![/quote]
