G-Town for the win!! I have lived here my whole life and if I am being honest it is one of the most boring places, but it is home. I could never imagine growing up anywhere else. If you are like me and call this place home you know these things to be true:
1. The biggest rivalry is between Highland High School and Gilbert High School
2. San Tan mall is the place to be.
This mall was the place to be in junior high, now as adults it is the place to avoid on Friday nights.
3. "Let's meet under the water tower"
That famous water tower in downtown, everyone knows it, everyone can see it. Because it is so ginormous, it makes perfect sense for it to be the meetup place.
4. Coffee Rush after school?
Gilbert High alumni know this one. Coffee Rush is that hipster coffee place that is perfect for an after school hangout. You could make it there and back in 10 minutes, it was perfect for ditching school. Now if you go, you are almost guaranteed to see someone you know.
5. It's your birthday? Better go to Joe's Barbecue for the trifecta of deals!
Joe's Barbecue is already amazing, but going on your birthday is even better!
6. 90% of the people you know are Mormon.
We all know it's true, I am just pointing out facts.
7. You know that "Gilbert" smell.
It is hard to explain, but we all know that infamous "Gilbert" smell.
8. It is basically a ghost town after about 9:30pm.
This town literally rolls up and shuts down after around 9:30pm, all the kids go home and no one is to be found.
9. The Constitution Fair is the biggest event of the year!
For some odd reason Gilbert puts on a Constitution Fair every year, and for some off reason it is something almost everyone goes to. It is a huge event.
10. It is still that basic little farm town.
