You know you live in Bentonville, Arkansas when you can get your groceries, your sporting goods, your eye exam, your hair colored, your nails done, your clothes, your pet care, your oil in your car changed, your payroll check, go to Mc Donalds and get all of your cheap knick knacks all in one place called WalMart. Well that's because there ISN'T anywhere else to go.

You know you live in Redmond, WA when you can give navigational directions strictly by distances between Starbucks, bike shops, and Thai noodle places.
"Make a left out of the parking lot, go past 2 Starbucks and turn right at the bike shop. Go past 3 noodle joints and you'll come to a Starbucks next to a bike shop. Make a left and we're in the plaza just after the noodle joint, between a bike shop and a Starbucks. If you see a Microsoft building, you've gone too far."

Liquor stores are one thing....you are buying sealed bottles to (in theory) take home. We had one we used to buy beer from when I was a teenager too (they almost never asked for ID). But a place that gives you a glass with a mixed drink and a straw while driving...that's a whole new ball of wax.
You know you live in Shanghai when you go to get your groceries in your pyjamas.
or you haven't seen the moon or stars, ever.
You know you live in a small town when they do not offer drivers ed and sex ed on the same day because they only have the one horse.
Now that's the winner. I've never seen anything so crazy.
