You know you're from the Twin Cities if....
1. You can immediatley tell somebody's an outsider once they ask what part of Minneapolis the the Turf Club, Excel Energy Center and Mickey's Diner are in. You correct them and tell them that they're in Saint Paul.

3. You have no idea what moderate weather is.
4. You only stop using the skyways for 4 weeks. The 2 weeks in late May and the 2 weeks in early September. You're either going to freeze, overheat or get rained, snowed or hailed on in any of those other months.
5. You chuckle at outstaters when they can't tell the difference between Japaneese and Chineese food.
6. You quickly expose vicarous outstaters that claim the cities even though they live all the way out in Hudson, Wisconsin.
7. Only one thing makes you more pissed off than seeing a guy wearing a White Sox baseball cap while being in a car with Minnesota license plates.
8. That other thing is seeing a Packers bumper sticker on a car with a Minnesota license plate.
9. You've worn a parka in August.
10. You've worn tanning lotion in March
11. You know the train is more than going to baseball games and the Mall of America, it's a way to get to work or school.

15. Eating the fish you catch from the lake is a foreign concept to you.
16: Even though it's been 10-25 years since they've all been last popular, you and everybody in town sells out First Ave or the X when the Replacements, The Suburbs, Prince or Husker Du plays a show.
(For outstaters or out of staters, The X is the Xcel Energy Center arena in Saint Paul, The Quest and First Ave are Night Clubs in Minneapolis)
17. You have at least one non-traditional outdoor sporting equipment.
19. Your ears pop when you go to Duluth.
20. Even though Minneapolis has Nic Avenue, you know that the real good resteraunts are on the West Side of Saint Paul.
21. You know that the West Side of Saint Paul is actually the south side.
22. You've never had to pay to go to the local zoo in your entire life
23. You're not even religious yet you go enjoy going to the bacillicas in the "downtowns" for it's artistic beauty.
