You know you are from Queens when...
1) You know someone who went to Newtown, Adams, Cleveland or Francis Lewis High Schools
2) You have shopped on Steinway St. & Main St.
3) You don't go to Manhattan; you go into the "City" or down to "The Village"
4) The Belt Parkway and Grand Central suck but you know them both like the back of your hand
5) You know that crossing Queens Blvd. at rush hour is a suicide mission
6) You live within 20 blocks of a cemetery
7) You know the difference between Crossbay & Woodhaven Blvd.
8) At one time in your life you have fished off of the Crossbay Bridge
9) You know the difference between goin' with, seeing, fooling around with and going out with someone
10) You curse, a lot
11) You can name at least 6 (if not all) members of the "86" Mets
12) You hung out at "The Park"
13) You know that Juniper Valley is not between 2 mountains
14) When it snows you put garbage pails in the street to save your parking space

16) You know someone with mob ties
17) At least one of your neighbors is a mental case
18) You have cruised Crossbay or Franny Lew
19) Private beach? What's that? Meet me at B116 St.
20) You know what a two fare zone is
21) You know that "New Park" on Crossbay has the best pizza
22) You know that you can renew your license and visit your parole officer on Jamaica Ave.
23) Every day of your life a pigeon has **** on your car
24) You know that Bayside girls are as bitchy as Middle Village
girls, Glendale and Ridgewood girls are never to be messed with and that Howard Beach girls are the worst
25) You have been to or heard of the Big Bow Wow
26) Some of your family live on the Island the rest live a few blocks away
27) You can walk to church on Sunday morning
28) You have been to at least a dozen different church bazaars
whether you're Catholic or not
29) All the houses on your block are attached
30) There is a bar on your corner and you have probably been hangin' out there since before you were 18
31) You know how to parallel park
32) You have learned to ignore the deafening roar of low flying airplanes
33) You know to avoid the Grand Central Pkwy during the US Open (and especially when the Mets are playing at home)
34) You have searched over an hour for a parking space
35) You hate alternate side of the street parking
36) Deep in your heart you fantasize about the Jets coming back to queens
37) Deep down you are really a Yankee fan but afraid to admit it
38) You know the Farmers Oval has never had a farmer and is
definitely not oval
39) You know the other name for Christ the King is "The Country Club"
40) You swore you would never buy a house on Long Island! YEAH RIGHT!
