When an individual asks someone from South Williamsport where they are from, the conversation usually goes something like this:
Random person: "So, where are you from?"
Me: "South Williamsport, Pennsylvania."
Random person: "Where is that?"
Me: "Have you ever heard of Williamsport or the Little League World Series?"
Random person: "No?"
When you live in a small town such as South Williamsport, not many people know where it is located and what there is to do within the town. Well, let's be honest, there are very few things to do. Anyway, for those of us who have grown up living in South Williamsport, there are a few things that almost everyone is well aware of.
1. Okay, let's get something straight. It's South Williamsport, NOT Williamsport.
2. We live on the side of a mountain. I suppose that's pretty cool.
3. The roads are extremely bumpy and narrow.
4. Everyone knows one another. Well, you either know them or you are related to them.
5. You are bound to run into someone when you go to the store late at night.
6. News travels fast, so you most likely know every little detail of everyone's lives.
7. Winter weather is unpredictable. When it snows, don't expect to have off school.
8. During the winter, the high school hill is filled with families enjoying the snow and sledding.
9. It seems as if there is never really anything to do. Going to the movies, bowling, fast food, and driving around are pretty much our only options.
10. If you go to Dunkin' Donuts, you are bound to see at least 10 other students hanging out.
12. There is no way to describe a Friday night during football season.
14. You can name almost everyone in your graduating class, their GPA, class rank, eye color, etc.
15. The friends you make in high school truly last a lifetime. Mostly because half of the people you were friends with never leave South Williamsport, so you are bound to see them when you visit home.
16. Jailbreak and ding-dong-ditching were what we did on summer nights when we were younger.
17. As we got older we realized that summers would be extremely boring if it were not for the river and bonfires.
18. The Little League World Series is what we're known for. It is also the only time of the year we have traffic.
19. Whoops, I lied. There is traffic when the roads are being worked on. Wait! Who am I kidding? That never happens.
20. I lied again. Around Christmas, there is a little traffic due to the infamous Candy Cane Lane.
21. Hunting is a big deal considering our school practically recognizes it as a holiday.
22. If you were on a sports team as a child, the South Williamsport Park Complex was your home.
23. When we were in high school, we were constantly complaining about how ready we were to get out of that stupid old town. As we headed off to college and other places, we slowly realized that South Williamsport would always be home, one way or another.
