You Know You're from Marin When...

Fans flock to Facebook page commemorating the uniqueness that is life in Marin County.

If you enjoy or relate to any of the following answers to that question, do we have a Facebook page for you:

  • It's a bigger deal to come out as a Republican than to come out of the closet.
  • Your parents make $250,000 a year, yet you're still considered middle class.
  • You never see more than 1 pro-Bush bumper sticker or less than ten IMPEACH BUSH bumper stickers over the course of a month.
  • You have to cross a bridge to find something to do past 10 o'clock.

Those answers, and a rapidly growing list of many more, can be found on the popular Facebook page "You Know You're from Marin County When..."
