In Odessa, TX, there are definitely some sure-fire ways to know who's from there and who's, well, not. These 10 signs are what make Odessans unique and special.

1. Your favorite restaurant is Rosa's and always will be.

It's your home away from home and it tastes SOOOO good.

2. You feel passionately about either the Panthers or the Broncos.

Obviously, the correct answer is the Bronchos.

3. You know Friday Night Lights is about your town, even if the movie and the TV show have serious inaccuracies.

Fine, Permian had this one. Just this one.

4. All of your friends from outside of Odessa don't understand how the word "y'all" sneaks into every sentence you speak or text.

All y'all just need to accept that I enjoy using the word y'all, okay y'all?

5. You were seriously upset when Blue Bell Ice Cream betrayed you.

Listeria contamination, Blue Bell! Are you kidding me?!

6. You know you have to wait until after the mesquite blooms to start your garden.

AND we are the home to the largest mesquite forest in the world.

7. Texas Independence Day is celebrated yearly and in true Texas fashion.

And any word from a hero of the Alamo, that's sacred.

8. When there is even a hint of snow, school gets cancelled and the entire town shuts down.

Since moving to Massachusetts, I became well-acquainted with real snow and no snow days. Consider yourselves lucky!

9. You know there are only two major social places in town: Starbucks and the Mall.

So many hours spent drinking coffee and walking the mall eight hundred times with friends.

10. Finally, you know you're from the best town in Texas!

Odessa, TX for the win!
