1. You know you are from Northern Va.....

If you correct the tv news constantly by letting them know the Pentagon is in Arlington, and not DC.
You prefer to watch the fireworks from the Va side and have found some creative spots.
When asked where you are from, you say NORTHERN Virginia, and not just Va.

(Loved your comments on National, the Smithsonian, and Cherry Blossom time...) I can remember that.
