“You Know You’re From Baltimore when…” pt.5

Here's part 5 of of the list of 45 ways You Know You're From Baltimore!

37. The idea of crabs without Old Bay makes you sick. We hear that down in Florida, they steam these stone crabs and dip them in butter. Why not just add frosting and sprinkles?


38. You think living 45 minutes from the nation's capital, 1.5 hours from Philadelphia, and 3.5 hours from New York City is the greatest thing in the world. Even better, considering that we don’t go to any of these places.

39. You think HBO's "The Wire" isn't violent enough. They want verisimilitude, they need to keep the violence intact.

40. Your car has a bumper sticker that says "BLIEVE HON" Or “BEHAVE” or “BEEHIVE”.

41. The Washington Monument in your city is not a white obelisk. And it was built before the one in DC, and it’s where they have the tree lighting every Christmas season!

42. You go to The Fudgery at The Harborplace just to hear singing. We need entertainment with our sugary sweet treats.

43. You didn't realize that horses race at Preakness. Not only that, there are plenty of people who go to Oriole games without realizing that a major league baseball game is happening right in front of them!

44. You leave the U.S. and people ask you where you're from, you reply "near Washington" to avoid confusion. As if I’m leaving the U.S…

45. You love your city and share this group with all your friends from Baltimore. And with everyone else! Come on over, hons!
