You Know that You Live in Davis When...
How can you tell if you live in Davis...? Read
on...
1. 85% of the parents at your child's public
school have a Masters or a Ph.D.
2. If someone tells you that they "teach" for a living you immediately assume that they must be a University Professor.
3. There are bike paths everywhere and you feel guilty if you drive a car instead of biking.
4. Recycling has become a religion to you.
5. Your friend's religion of choice could be any of the following: Christianity, Ba' Hai, Buddhist, Jewish, Muslim, Atheist and amazingly you all get along just fine. (Take that you nuts from the mid-east!)
6. When you attend a local UC Davis parade and the Gay and Lesbian Bi-Sexual Alliance receives outstanding applause and the Davis Republican Group is met with boos and jeers. (No judgments are being made here, but I'm not kidding....it happened last year at the "UC Davis Picnic Day" parade.)
7. The car of choice is either a Toyota Prius or a GEM electric car.
8. Putting a "Target" store in town requires a voters referendum.
9. An attempt to build a bridge ends up starting a grassroots movement to "Save the Frogs" which results in a $14,000 toad tunnel being built. (It's too bad that the toads can't read the "Toads Cross Here" sign and still end up as toad pancakes. We're altruistic, just not very practical...)
10. Your local politician can be derided if they are seen as being too pro-business and not green enough.
11. At least half of your friends are vegetarians or aquanarians (and you even know what an aquanarian is!).
12. Every corner has a coffee shop or a bicycle shop.
13. You are not too sure if the hippie who just biked past you is: a local homeless person, a local Davis intellectual, one of our City Council members or a UC Davis professor.
