This was going to be a you know you might be from Cleveland post, but seeing that some of my readers are from the region and not Cleveland proper, I would expand it to Northeast Ohio.
You might be from Northeast Ohio if...
You think the regional motto is "Wait till next year."
You think the first sign of spring is the first orange barrel.
You think the orange barrel is the state flower.
A good portion of your wardrobe either has Chief Wahoo in front, or "James 23" on the back.
You don't look at a buzzard as a scavenger bird, but as a radio station mascot-WMMS or a town festival-Hinckley.
You find yourself singing the "Garfield 1-2323" jingle.
You know the correct pronunciation of Cuyahoga, Medina, and Trivisonno.
The words "A waaaaay back" are music to your ears.
Ditto with "WHAM with the right hand"
"Stay sick and turn blue" isn't an insult. Cliff Note:Saying of late night television movie host Ghoulardi and later, the Ghoul.
No hot dog is complete without Stadium Mustard.
Enemy list includes, John Elway, Bill Cowher, George Steinbrenner, and Art Modell.
You won't be caught dead wearing gold and black.
We celebrate two seasons-winter and July.

you know you're from ne ohio/ohio when 2 of your best coaches and 2 of your best players play for the black and gold--noll, cowher, lambert and big ben.--and they all get to the superbowl.
you know you're from ne ohio when everybody's favorite thing to complain about is the weather(wait 5 minutes--it will change. what rarely changes are the weather men--goddard, bernier(ma and pa), nolan. old weathermen don't die or retire, they just drop a few isobars....

2)Walleye
3)Pierogies
