19 Signs You Grew Up In Los Angeles
1. Despite its jankiness, you still love the rollercoaster at the Santa Monica Pier.
And for reals, the first time you rode it as a kid it was so motherflippin’ scary.
2. You went on an awkward middle school date to an open-air mall with a gratuitous fountain.
3. You are woefully unprepared every time it rains, and yet you have never considered purchasing rain gear.
If you own an umbrella, isn’t that like asking for more rain?
4. You have a love-hate relationship with chihuahuas.
Cutest little yappy demon I ever did see.
5. You have an uncle who loves to talk about the terrors of L.A. in the ’80s, probably just so he can say the words “Night Stalker.”

7. For you, the howling of coyotes inspires neither wonderment at the beauty of nature nor fear for your safety.

The most magical carousel in the world? Dude, maybe.

17. As a teenager, you went to the Griffith Park Observatory to…stargaze. Yeah, that’s it, stargazing, that’s what you did there.
18. You have to assume there’s some other, really terrible Los Angeles people are talking about when they say “Los Angeles isn’t beautiful.”

Or maybe people are walking around our city with their eyes closed?
19. When fools from out of town tell you L.A. has no seasons, you think of this:
