You remember when Belvedere Avenue was "Northern Parkway ", and the
 two-lane road up-the-hill from Falls Rd to Roland Ave was a steep, narrow, and treacherous path.  They stopped traffic on Falls Road to allow the cars on Belvedere to travel one at a time on
 icy/snowy days; Cold Spring between Falls and Roland wasn't much better.

You know Frank Zappa was from Dundalk, and that somehow helps you to understand his lyrics.

You remember a very green, but not very Irish, Hyman Pressman marching in the St Patrick's Day parades and Louis L Goldstein with his immortal "God bless you all real good" blessing.

You remember special deli shopping trips to Stone's Bakery, Jack's Corned Beef, Weiss Deli, and Attman's Deli on Lombard St, right in the heart of the high rise projects.

In those days, Sears was still called Sears, Roebuck and Company and lived at Harford and North.  Wards was a little more formal as Montgomery Ward, and was at located at Monroe and
 Washington Blvd.  Both stores carried their own brand of lawn mowers, tools, guns,
 motorcycles, clothes, shoes, tires, and appliances.  A Sears Revolving Credit Card was tough to get!

You remember the Gwynn Oak, Carlin's, and Bay Shore Amusement Parks.

You know where Engine 6 lives.

You remember all the ship repair drydocks that lined Key Highway.  Now it costs a million-plus to call it home!

You wait every year to hear true Baltimore Christmas classics; "Oh, I want Crabs for Christmas" and "Walking in an Essex Wonderland".

You first heard of Spiro Agnew when he was the Baltimore County Executive.
