3. You've "sneakily" tried to sit on one of these horses (and probably gotten kicked off by a cop who said something like "... seriously?").
4. You know exactly which house on Broadway is your dream home. Maybe it's this one with the curved path and beautiful balcony.
5. Or this one with the perfect carriage cover.

15. But it's not a good night out without one of Esperanto's classics.
16. You know that at 12:10 am, the 473 bus from Skidmore rolls in and DA's gets ridiculously full of drunk college students.
17. And despite the fact that you've been on Caroline Street plenty of times during the day, you had no idea that this is what DA's looked like in sunlight.
