10 Things Everyone Who Grew Up in Palm Beach County Knows

1. When you tell people where you're from they either completely know where it is or you have to give the reference "I'm about an hour and a half from Miami or an hour away from Fort. Lauderdale"

2. Publix is the best grocery store in the nation and you genuinely feel sorry for people without this fantabulous grocery store in their life, we also feel weird going into a new Publix and don't know how to maneuver this new foreign land. nothing feels more like home than "our" Publix.

3. You grow up with a pretty diverse community even though the majority is white. In high school, you'd walk the halls and see all kinds of faces. sitting outside at lunch was the best way to relax too. shoutout to the Alma Mater. Wellington High.




4. You have a view of palm trees from your house and when the wind comes at the perfect speed then its nap time.

5 Broward and Dade county are completely different than Palm Beach. they say it's too calm and quiet in PBC but I'd rather that than noise and overpopulation. Can I get an amen?

6. Old people, Snowbird season makes you want to throw yourself onto I-95 with all the extremely slow elderly living here during the winter.

7. The Mall and the Beach are pretty much the go-to hangout spots, in middle school if you grew up in Wellington. The Mall at Wellington Green is where it's at.

8. Everyone (or almost everyone) you know is from another state. there are very little native Floridians and you enjoy hearing stories of how life is there compared to life in Florida.

9. You go to other parts of Florida to vacation because our state is just that big, Orlando is so much more exciting and fun than Palm Beach. C'mon.

10.. Palm Beach is boring and you'll want out but once you live somewhere else for a while. You miss everything about it and you're proud to call this crazy place home.

Singing is something I do all day, every day. It doesn't matter where I am or who's around. If I feel like singing, I'm going to. It's probably annoying sometimes, but I don't care -- I love to sing! If I'm not singing, I'm probably humming, sometimes without even realizing it. So as someone who loves to sing, these are some of the feelings and thoughts I have probably almost every day.
