Only true citizens of Oakville know about the several stereotypes surrounding the town and it's inhabitants. There are wealthy houses lining the lake at Downtown Oakville, and old people stare at you through the windows at that one Second Cup in Bronte. Everything is really close to your home, and you feel yourself becoming happier at the thought of leaving Oakville someday - if you can escape.
Some signs that you're from Oakville are bolder than others. Most are a pretty ingrained part of who you are as a citizen of a town you either love, or hate - because everyone knows there's no in-between.
