You know you live in Savannah if...

#1 - You get stuck behind a horse-drawn carriage every time you try to drive into downtown.
#2 - One of the most popular destinations is the local cemetery, and people walk around every evening on twilight ghost tours.
#3 - You wake up to the sound of explosions and fanfare (thanks, Hunter Army Airfield...it's a pleasant enough sound at 6:30 in the morning...)
#4 - There are more indie coffee shops than Starbucks's...and there are a lot of Starbucks's, so that's saying a lot.
#5 - Everyone has tattoos...well, except for me, so maybe I should say almost everyone.
#6 - You have a love/hate relationship with free street parking.
#7 - Just saying "Foxy Loxy" evokes sighs of longing from every coffee-lover in site.

#8 - A walk in the park may involve running into drum circles, tropical birds, and college students dressed as genies.
#9 - Your long-distance friends mention having thunderstorms and you know that they ain't got nothin' on a Savannah monsoon.
#10 - If your brain correlates pink houses with delicious cuisine.
#11 - You have mistaken piles of Spanish moss on the road for small animals and have almost caused an accident...*raises hand*
#12 - Paula Deen is the local butter-bakin' celebrity.
#13 - The local baseball team is named after the very-annoying local pests...and the mascot has fangs!

Gnate the Sand Gnat!

#14 - Almost everything is named after the founder of Georgia, James Oglethorpe. There's an Oglethorpe Square, Oglethorpe Mall, Oglethorpe Road, and an Oglethorpe House, to name only a few.
