Diverse in its cities and towns, Westchester County has a lot to offer. While each small locale in Westchester is different, Westchesterites always seem to share some sort of common ground. Here are 10 signs that you grew up in Westchester County, New York:

1. Your home is referred to by others as being in “upstate New York”

Contrary to popular belief, if you look at New York State as a whole, Westchester County is actually located in downstate.

2. Your childhood summers consisted of going to Playland.

You went to Playland at least 2 times a summer either to ride the famous wooden Dragon Coaster or spend all your parent’s money on trying to win that giant stuffed animal that was calling your name.

3. Metro North is your go to vehicle of transportation to NYC.

You've spent millions of hours of your life thus far on Metro North trains. Not necessarily because of delays, but because its your main mode of transportation to NYC.

"the next station is...."

4. You grew up shopping at The Westchester.

Even if you’re not the shopping type, your mom has mostly likely dragged you to this giant mall various times to get that bar/ bat mitzvah gift for someone in 7th grade.

5. You went Ice skating at Westchester Skating Academy.

Whether you skated competitively or recreationally, chances are you attended a birthday party and or a Friday night public session at this rink.

6. You went to parties at Fun Craft.

You attended most of your childhood friends' birthday parties at Fun Craft. An old shoe box is lying around your house somewhere full those rainbow sand bears you made and those clay butterflies you painted.

7. You spent snowy mornings watching News 12.

You practically grew up watching weather reporter Joe Rao to see if he would answer your wishes and give you a snow day.

8. Late nights at El Dorado III.

There was nothing like going with friends at 12am to El Dorado to order milkshakes.

9. Leapin' Lizards and Sportime USA.

You grew up urging your parents to take you to Leapin' Lizards and or Sportime USA. What child doesn't like indoor obstacle courses, jumping into a giant pit of balls, and trying to win tickets for prizes?

10. You know the ins and outs of Grand Central Terminal.

After countless jobs and internships as well as trips with friends and family to the city, you know almost all the routes in and out of GCT by heart. Whether its going through the MetLife building or exiting through one of the underground tunnels, Grand Central is like home for you. You are also quite good at dodging tourists in the Main Concourse while trying to make that 5:30pm train.

Wherever you ending up living when you're older, Westchester will always remain home.
