Westside: You're Not From California If You Haven't Done This

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?
