Signs You Grew Up in L.A. in the ’90s

This guy’s list of 35 Signs You Grew Up in L.A. in the ’90s totally cracked me up yesterday. Highlights:

#2 Browsed records at Tower Records
#3 Listened to KROQ (and had all the stickers on my Tercel)
#6 Ate at Hamburger Hamlet (um, massive chocolate fudge cake anyone?)
#9 You got Thrifty’s ice cream (still the only mint chip I love)
#16 You had a healthy fear of Downtown

But, I’d like to add a few of my own…

#36 You remember being sent home from school when the L.A. Riots raged on
#37 Going to Arena on 18-and-over night made you feel really grown up
#38 Cruising on Sunset in bumper-to-bumper traffic made you feel like a celebrity
#39 Having brand new CDs opened for you to preview at Virgin Megastore
#40 Crown Books, Music Plus, Sam Goody, Good Guys, Wherehouse
#41 You remember parking where the Staples Center/L.A. Live complex now sits
#42 You went to Disneyland/Magic Mountain for your senior field trip
#43 You went to Wrightwood for science camp
#44 You were always intrigued by the freeway murals on the 101
#45 You remember where you were when you heard about the start of the Gulf War, Magic Johnson and the O.J. verdict
