Is your hometown known for anything?

[Dags90]

Probably the most significant is a one hit wonder band named after a local store. There's been all sorts of filming here because the town pretty much epitomizes white upper-middle class America.

1967 tornado through south suburbs of Chicago. Tore through the town, leveled the high school.

And Kevin Cronin of REO Speedwagon

I live in Tennessee. It's known for 2 things; racism and intolerance.

Would you say that those are accurate depictions of Tenessee...ans? I'm actually curious. (Also curious to know the Demonym of Tennessee.)

Tennesseans I guess(?) at least that's what my spell check says :/

And no, it's not for all of them. There are good people here. They're just few and far between.

Hell, that can really be applied to anywhere you go, but here it's worse considering the normal person here is a hunting, homophobic, overly religious, military bigot with a total of 3 teeth whereas I am a vegetarian, omnisexual atheist who is anti military with good dental care

Dang, that sucks. I guess it's a cultural thing though; I remember a couple of explanations from sociology class.

I find it kind of unfortunate because most of the US is actually quite beautiful. But it seems that a fair bit of the country is pretty far off politically, and worse, strengthened in their resolve by the fact that they live in the most powerful nation on Earth. The things I'd do with a blank slate there though, there's so much potential.

Pretty sure this was done the other day but......

I live in Tennessee. It's known for 2 things; racism and intolerance.

Hey I live in tennessee too!

I hate it.fucking racists.


OT:apprently My town is called the model city,because it was made to be whites only.

 

[Midnight Crossroads]

Sandy white beaches(with globs of oil now) and the first European settlement in what is now the USA. Or at least it would have been if a frickin' hurricane didn't smash it to pieces. Est. 1559 by the Spanish.

It's also the site of the primary training station for all US Navy, Marine, and Coast Guard naval aviators. The Blue Angles are pretty popular too.

I was 12 I just laid there and bled out for a while... besides who throws a snapple bottle!? seriously?

Ah, well that's understandable.

Shoulda sued his ass though.

Pretty wimpy to be throwing a snapple bottle.

That's like saying "I killed a guy with a Zima bottle"

or by a tea cup...

 

[You Can't Take the Sky From Me]

The home town scenes of the dreadful Jump were filmed in my home town, they even used my highschool. Hurray?

They're everywhere.

I can't go out without hearing someone complaining about N*****s or W******s. Those are the main two here.

Oh, and shit about Obama being Muslim.

 

[Druyn]

Not really, but it is home to Miss Porters, a hundred year old, world renowned high school for girls. I think thats it.

 

[Xpwn3ntial]

My home town Lawrence is known for its astounding cannabis industry. You likely have never heard of the place, but those who know of my home town's name know what I am talking about.

My current city is known for Al Capone, among other things.

What is the W one? PM me if you have to.

 

[chiggerwood]

I was born in Phoenix AZ. It's known for being the meth capital of the US. Hence the nickname "Valley of the Spun"

 

[maddawg IAJI]

New Bedford is known for two things. Whale hunting and having one of the lowest response rates of all time on America's most wanted. That being said, we tend to focus on the Whale Hunting we use to do over the other stuff. We have the largest Whaling museum and even have a passage about the city in Moby Dick.

Fredrick Douglas escaped from Baltimore and came here (He actually lived here before going to New York and actually took the surname Douglas from the person who took him in.) and we supposedly had a big role in the underground railroad....we have really wiki page.

Oh come on, you gotta admit that's badass!

I actually liked those movies. Not sure why everyone seemed to hate them so much....

 

[ethaninja]

Idiots. That is all my town is named for. Being filled with idiots.

 

[Eumersian]

Absolutely nothing. Read the Urban Dictionary entry for North Reading. It is about 95% true.

 

[Thunderhorse31]

I went to the same high school as Criss Angel (illusionist) and Joel Rifkin (serial killer).

Other than that, I'm not really sure.

I really liked Pitch Black but I thought The Chronicles Of Riddick was ok it's just like yahtzee said Vin Diesel just didn't understand what made the first such a great movie... and the animated one was ok if a little brief it did it's job...

I can admit that it wasn't as good as Pitch Black, but I still liked CoR.

They made an animated movie?

 

[senorcromas]

Oh, Jimmy Fallon went to my school.

That's... about it, really.
