Put where you are from and things that are pretty commom or known about where you live or the general area


I'm a midwest girl, pretty much have been my entire life . Currently in Missouri but grew up in Iowa.

1.There's a tornado warning and the whole town is outside watching for it. 
2.Everyone in your family has been on a "Float trip."
3.Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor on the highway.
4.You know what's knee-high by the Fourth of July. (It's corn btw, lol)
5.You know if another Missourian is from eastern, middle or western Missouri as soon as they open their mouth.

    The Nashville Scene publishes a You Are So Nashville If contest every year. It is a gold mine. My two all-time favorites are:

    You Are So Nashville If... you're from Detroit.

    You Are So Nashville If... towns you've never heard of are going to be hit by a tornado at 6:51, 6:53, and 7:01 p.m.

    Also, the song "Southern Comfort Zone" by Brad Paisley!
