You know you are from Racine, Wisconsin when…

you can name your favorite kind of kringle (and you just may have some stashed away in your freezer).

Pecan Kringle

you’re thirsty and you ask someone where the nearest “bubbler” is.

you’ve fished off the piers on Lake Michigan.

you’ve “scooped the loop” with friends, just because it was the hip thing to do.

it’s Friday night and you’re yearning for a beer- battered fish fry at the local tavern.

when you want a drink, you know you won’t be heading to West Racine.

you know where “the Junction” is.

you have been in awe of the Iwo Jima float in EVERY 4^th of July parade.

the best birthday cake is a Danish layer.

you visit relatives “up north,” or you have taken a vacation “up north” more than once.

you learned to swim at the Washington Park Pool when you were a kid, and ate a slo-poke sucker while walking back home.

you’ve been to the Franksville Kraut Festival.

you’ve been in actual debates with other Racinians – Is it “Ray-cine” or “Rah-cine”…?

(Count me in with the "Rah-cine" people.)
