I'm not sure who created this originally but a high school classmate sent it to me recently. If you know anything about Boone, NC is pretty spot on!
Just thought I would share the love of our home town....
...you check Ray's Snowman-O-Meter religiously during the winter
months.
....you do not believe in weather forecasting.
....you wonder where the Watauga County Public School System came up
with some of those "snow days."
....you predict every new/renovated building will become a bank (with
surprising accuracy).
....most directions include a reference to the "Wendy's intersection."
....you no longer marvel at the incredible two-story Wendy's.
....you make bets on whether the crawling vehicle in front of your car
is a Floridian.
....you look forward to the first fireflies. (Firefly Capital of the World,
that's us!)
....like it or not, the Wooly Worm Festival IS a big deal.
....you have given up hope of ever finding the next book in the series
at the Watauga County Public Library.
....you repeatedly bemoan the absence of a Target and/or Starbucks.
....you refer to the Boone "Mall" with quotation marks.
....you have eaten dozens of pre-movie meals at Dos Amigos.
....you cannot go to Wal-Mart without running into at least one person
you know.
....you know exactly who I'm referring to when I mention "the bearded
guy on King Street."
....you got all excited over ASU's double championship, even if you
know nothing about college football.
....you consider the misinformed pronunciation "App-a-lay-shun"
something bordering on profanity.
....you dare that Verizon "Can you hear me now?" guy to try his little
reception trick in the mountains.
....you ditch the jackets when it's over 45 degrees at the slopes.
....you frequently use the term "going off the mountain" to refer to
day-trips.
....you go to Tweetsie Railroad for the best Fourth of July fireworks
every year.
....you rejoiced at the demolition of the Chalet.
....every winter rain strengthens your belief in global warming.
....you know someone who has had a bear in their backyard.
....you have tossed peanuts to the bears at Grandfather Mountain.
....you have spun a car around in an icy parking lot just for the fun
of it.
....Macado's is your staple fall back restaurant (particularly late at
night).
....you consider your town an insignificant little place, but everyone,
everywhere you go, seems to have heard of it.
