Not Bethesda, not Fairfax, D.C.

Those colorful collectable monthly Metro cards have been replaced by all-purpose DC One Card.

Booo!

Tourist: "Excuse me, how do I get to Elephant Plaza?"

You: "...You mean, L'enfant Plaza?"

Oh, how can we forget the infamous Michelle Rhee and all the cheating accusations, the changing laws, the firing of teachers and staff, closing schools, and making the lives of DCPS kids miserable.

5. You know the entire Eastern Motors commercial jingle.

Sing it with me now! "Let Eastern Motors put you in a car today! Let Eastern Motors finance it all the way!"

6. Half your iPod was filled with go-go music.

You had everything from UCB's “Sexy Lady” to TCB's “Bait” to Chuck Brown and The Soul Searchers's “Bustin’ Loose”.

RIP Chuck.

7. You didn't get your license until after high school.

Because let's be honest, you can get anywhere on Metro.

8. Having a snow day was a rare blessing.

Even if all schools in Maryland and Northern Virginia cancelled school, D.C.P.S would have a two-hour delay. ALWAYS.

9. You've been to every Smithsonian museum at least twice before you left elementary school.

10. You knew all the D.C. slang.

You're truly from D.C. if you've used any of the following in a sentence: "jii", "fakin", "bama" or "bamma", "kill" (no, it has nothing to do with murder...), "mug", "moe", "jonin", etc.
