It takes a true Dallasite to recognize just how amazing Dallas really is. From shopping at Northpark Mall to spending the day in Bishop Arts District, this city has so much to offer. If you were truly raised in this wonderful city, everything below will sound all too familiar.

1. You've been to a concert at the American Airlines Center at least once.

And suffered through Downtown traffic to do so.

2. You've eaten from the food trucks at Klyde Warren Park.

You prayed the grilled cheese truck would show up that day.

3. People you meet from out-of-state ask you if you ride a horse to school.

Whaaaaat?

4. You always have a sliver of hope for the Cowboys.

We've lost some good ones, but even at their worst, they will always be the best.

5. You know Mexican food is never as good in other states.

Tex-Mex all the way.

6. You've been asked if Dallas and Fort Worth are the same thing.

Don't ask that question. Dallas will always reign.

7. You've spent an evening on Greenville Avenue.

Steel City Pops forever and always.

8. People are surprised when you don't have an accent.

Although some may say you do because of your overuse of "y'all".

9. You've experienced multiple tornado warnings.

They probably don't even phase you anymore.

10. You're used to spending a lot of the summer indoors.

So. Stinking. Hot.

11. Finally, you take so much pride in telling people that you're from the best city in America.

Texas, y'all.
