Only in Clifton
I stole this list from one of our students livejournals. I thought it was really funny. If you live in Clifton, or have visited please share your list . . .
So my roommates and I are bored, so we are compiling this list...
"YOU KNOW YOU LIVE IN CLIFTON IF..."
1. You can throw furniture over the balcony and no one gives you a second glance.
2. At least once a month there is a group of old protestors holding up signs such as, "IRAQ-TILE DYSFUNCTION".
3. You have to go grocery shopping at Krogers in pairs.
4. You houses are so close together you can shake hands with you neighbor by opening your windows.
5. When May 5 rolls around, you fear for your car's safety.
6. You have seen the 3-legged possum at least once.
7. On a Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, or Saturday... you will see at least 10 cop cars drive by your house in the period of an hour.
8. The closest parking space to your house is next to a fire hydrant.
9. It takes 20 minutes to deposit a check at any bank.
10. It's common place to see people carrying random furniture across the kroger parking lot.
11. You see condoms (used) laying on the ground at the intersection of Short Vine and Corry.
12. The overly friendly squirrels scurry around the streets with whole pieces of pizza in their mouth. Squirrels eat pizza?
13. Rocks and gravel are considered lawns.
14. You can't go more than 10 yards without seeing an orange barrel or going over a GINORMOUS pothole.
15. The streets are so narrow that two cars can't pass each other without one of you pulling over.
16. 1 in 3 cars has a duct-taped window due to the search for pocket change.
17. Random piles of dog poo on campus or on the streets...
18. Trash in your front lawn is considered lawn ornaments.
19. There are more than 2 Indian Resturants in the vicinity of 10 ft.
20. You are still wondering what Acropolis Chili has to offer.
*i have changed a few of these and added my own.

How about this... "YOU KNOW YOU LIVE IN CLIFTON IF..." you hear someone yelling "Look out! Incoming cow!"
or you see a guy get out of his car in his underwear and without a care simply grabs his stuff out of his backseat and walks to his apartment across the street.
Only in clifton.
