If you were raised in DC, Maryland, or Virginia, you know that the culture is unlike anything else. From our signature slang to the fantastic food, you can’t help but love where you grew up. The DMV was the best place to live as a kid, even if your college friends disagree. Keep reading for the 10 signs you grew up in the DMV!
Your non DC-native friends don’t understand, but you always know deep down the true definition of the acronym.
It’s easier to just tell people you’re from DC instead of avoiding long explanations of where you’re actually from. However, no one really knows how far “the DC area” actually reaches before it isn’t accurate anymore.
Sure, the “bipolar” weather wasn’t always ideal, but you know how much you enjoyed winter, spring, summer, and fall while growing up.
Fries, pizza, soup, chips… You put that beloved seasoning on everything. You wouldn’t be caught dead without a can of Old Bay in your purse or your dorm.

We were lucky to have grown up with mountains, beaches, waterfalls (and much more) right at our fingertips. I love you, DMV.
