You Know You're from Pacifica When ...

Add your answer to this in the comments section.

Whether it's an old slogan, a no-longer-there hobby shop or a park that's now residential homes, there's always something that will remind you of your hometown if and when you leave. 

There's even an entire Facebook Group dedicated to sharing the nostalgia of Pacifica.

We asked our Facebook readers to answer this question:

"You know you're from Pacifica when ..."

Here are a few of the replies we received:

  • Melissa: .....you are shocked to find out that not all Taco Bells have an ocean view.
  • Katie: ...Foggy weather is what makes you happiest.
  • Stephanie: You keep winter clothes in the front of your closet all year
  • Aimee: You can leave your doors unlocked during the day...
  • Rick: you can drive through the thickest of fog and think nothing of it
  • Rachael: You know where to get the best crab sandwich in town!
  • Mary: Your oceana teacher took you on a field trip to the pier to toss bottles with notes in them in the ocean in 1974
  • Tiffany: When the gym teacher would walk the class to the beach ten min before the bell to make you run back.
  • Gary: No tan lines

So tell us, Pacifica, you know you're from Pacifica when ...?
