1. You always tell people you’re from Greensboro or Winston-Salem because chances are they haven’t heard of Kernersville.
2. As a kid you either played soccer for KSA, did gymnastics for the Carolina Twisters, or cheered/played football for the Kernersville Raiders (maybe even all three).
3. Everyone you know either at some point lived in or still lives in Abington.
4. You’re super proud that our Cookout has INDOOR SEATING.
5. As a high schooler, you also know that Cookout is the place to be after football games.
6. Except for East v. Glenn games, because there’s bound to be a swarm of cops supervising the place after the huge brawl a few years ago.
7. Or just cops around there in general monitoring the occasional drug bust.
8. You weren’t really surprised when $6.5 million worth of marijuana was found in a warehouse last year.
9. The Kernersville Cinema holds a special place in your heart from your sketchy middle school days.
10. You were also a little annoyed when the ticket prices went from $3 to $4. (Ridiculous, right?)
11. No matter how old you are, the Korner’s Folly and Spring Folly will never not be fun to go to.
12. You know there is no bigger rivalry than that between East Forsyth and Glenn.

18. You’ve spent countless hours just walking around Target because you couldn’t think of anything more fun to do.
19. And if where you live now isn't blessed with a Target (*cough* Boone *cough*) you cherish these moments now.
20. But if Target is closed, you resort to Walmart.
21. You’ve always been confused why we need a Starbucks inside of Target when there’s a Starbucks in the exact same parking lot (and across the street in Harris Teeter).
22. You like Feeney’s, but know that nothing can compete with Zack’s Frozen Yogurt.
23. You went to a birthday party at Skateworld when you were younger. (If not, you had yours there.)
24. Or Countryside Lanes.
25. You can’t go to any restaurant without knowing someone who works there.
26. Well, you can’t go anywhere without seeing someone you know.
27. You have a love/hate relationship with how small the town is.
