What's stereotypical about your town?

Where I live/work:
"You know you live [in that village] when your pastor happens by your house and shuts your car trunk because you forgot to. And then rings your door and tells you."

At home:
"You know you live in the 'Jax when every second person you see is (trying really really hard to be) gangsta."

Maybe it's not about town, but it's similar:

(stereotypical ofc)
