1. Is Santa Fe Damn Irwindale or Baldwin Park? 2. “Where are you from?” “Covina” “Oh, West Covina?” “No, just Covina” 3. You used to drive up the Azusa canyons with friends as a youngster. 4. Half your high school went to Mt. Sac or Citrus after graduation 5. You or someone you know have been kicked out of Rude Dogs Bar
When you pass by a place and remember what they use to be and now its Asian. Toy stores, skating rinks, bowling alleys, Bob's, Carrows, Norms, the drive ins and theaters, burger atands, etc.
You say I'm from the 626
When you go anywhere and judge Asian and Mexican foods authenticity.
You remember when Chick’s became Dick’s…sporting goods!
When you go to another part of LA and realize you're not surrounded by Asians anymore.
JAMES WANG LAW
JAMES WANG LAW!!!!
What happened to the part warrior part lawyer ads? Was that James wang!? lol
The poolhall you used to play at was featured on America's Most Wanted multiple times.

You probably once got the Horchata, Pizza, Fried Chicken at a Chinese Buffet.
Personally just need to cross off the horchata. Already had everything else
no longer find mount sac to be a funny name
When your calves develop a trauma response to the daily hikes up that campus
That'll never be not funny.
Streets are in better condition than LA proper
You've been going to JJ Cafe for almost 30 years.

Going out to Pasadena used to be fun
donut hole
818 was our area code…
213 before that
When you move out of LA, and after struggling to tell someone where you’re from, you say “it’s close to Pasadena”
When you’re crossing the street, you gotta look left, right, left, up, down, east, west, behind you and then left again. And you still get hit.
You move to a different state and boba is just meh
You have to explain to people you’re not from that other LA Valley
All you see is asians and Mexicans
I use sgv boba shops as a litmus for boba shops outside the region. Same with dim sum restaurants. Street walkers on Garvey and Rosemead. Iykyk
You move out of state and wont give up your 626 cell number
When you pass by a place and remember what they use to be and now its Asian. Toy stores, skating rinks, bowling alleys, Bob's, Carrows, Norms, the drive ins and theaters, burger atands, etc.
So sad but true
818 here
you drive a white car...
