YOU KNOW YOU'RE FROM SCARBOROUGH WHEN...
You're familiar with neighbourhood names like: Agincourt, Malvern,
West Hill, Warden Woods, Cedarbrae, Tuxedo Court, Bay Mills, and
Wexford.
You lock your car doors when you drive, and only roll the window
down if the tempature is over 30 and you absolutely have to.
You perk up every time SCARBOROUGH is mentioned on the news but
it's usually related to some crime story (i.e. murder, robbery,
drive-by-shooting/stabbing etc.)
You know what the "RT" is.
You often hear music (or just bass) coming from someone else's car
across the street when you are stopped at a traffic light.
LADIES: A guy has tried to "pick you up" at the bus stop, ON the
bus or the RT train, at Kennedy Station, Scarborough Town Centre or
even while you're in your car stopped at a traffic light.
GUYS: You ! have, or you know of a guy who has tried to pick up
girls at the bus stop, on the bus or the RT train, at Kennedy
Station, Scarborough Town Center or even while a girl is in her car
stopped at a traffic light.
You often refer to SCARBOROUGH as SCARBERIA; SCARLEM; SCOMPTON;
SCARCITY. (and if you wanna be crude...new ones include: SCARLANKA,
SCARBLACKISTAN, SCARBADOS)
No one speaks English on the bus.
You consider anything north of Steeles Avenue as "BUSH".
You consider anything east of the Rouge River as "BUSH".
You've learned how annyoing police helicopters are, even though
they're there to help you.
You don't mess with kids who go to Lam, Leacock, Eaton, Bethune or
Porter.
You're probably been covered in the Scarborough Mirror for
something.
You love to mention other parts of Toronto (i.e. Jane-Finch, Regent
Park, Flemingdon Park, Parkdale, Rexdale, Weston, St. Jamestown,
etc.) andtalk about how they have a higher crime rate than
SCARBOROUGH. You are familiar with these streets: Vic Park, Markham
Road, Kingston Road, McCowan Road, Warden Avenue, Finch Ave,
Kennedy Road, Eglinton Ave.
You LOVE to shop at the "Dollar Stores" scattered throughout
SCARBOROUGH.
There is an Ontario Housing complex in your neighborhood.
There is a Chinese restaurant or a Roti shop in your neighbourhood.
Scarborough Town Centre was "the place" to hang-out when your were
a teenager.
Stitches is the hot spot for teen girls to shop!
You hate it when NON-Scarborough people refer to it as the ghetto.
You know the Scarborough Bluffs are there, but never bothered to go
see it.
You sadly realize our proudest accomplishment besides supplying 50%
of the T Dot's crime rate, is the Barenaked Ladies.
North York pisses you off.
NON-MALVERN PEOPLE: You refer to Malvern as the East Scarlem
ghetto.
MALVERN PEOPLE: You are PROUD of Malvern but still refer to it as
the East Scarlem ghetto.
Your bike has been stolen at least once.
Your car has been stolen at least once, or you know someone who's
car has been stolen.
You refer to Agincourt as "Asian-court"
There are more Guyanese people here than in Georgetown, Guyana.
You are able to distinguish the ethnicity of a driver just by
looking at his/her car (i.e. If you see a car with Hello Kitty or
other stuffed animals in it, the! n you know its probably someone
of Hong Kong descent OR if you see a car with tinted windows, gold
or chrome fender trims, and a crown air-freshener, then you know
its probably someone from the Caribbean) and you sure as hell know
that when you see a "sooped" up 1993 honda civic hatchback there is
either an italian or a greek GINO drivin!
You HATE Mel Lastman because you think he ignores Scarborough, BUT
you still voted for him.
Even though you only live about 15 KM from Downtown Toronto, it
still takes you an hour or more by TTC and at least a half hour by
car to get there. Not to mention rush hour.
People involuntarily back away when you say you're from
SCARBOROUGH.
The TTC buses run EXTRA SLOW here.
You're proud that Scarborough is more diverse than most small
countries.
You say you're a PROUD CITIZEN OF SCARBOROUGH, but deep down inside
you kinda wish to move out to Markham, Richmond Hill or Pickering.
