SANTA MONICA, CA — If you're from California, or even lived here a few weeks, then you probably know a thing or two about the way we do our lives here. We love to be outside. We drive a lot. We like to eat. We all hate traffic. These are just some of the things that bring us together — and that's whether you're living in NorCal or SoCal. Patch asked you to fill in the blank. If you've never ___, then you're not from California. Here's what we heard back so far: Reader Christine Lako had several ideas to share: "Eaten tacos sold in a grocery store parking lot from a questionable looking vehicle" "Had a bacon wrapped hot dog" "Waited for the light to turn red to make a left turn in heavy traffic" There's probably more to add to the list. What else is part of the California lifestyle? Check out the Facebook post and let Patch know. What's something that defines Californians?
