Yes actually, a very large number of things, In Jeffersonville, Indiana, we have the worlds smallest block (street term, not building block), The very first Papa Johns (aka Mick's Lounge), and in a town over (Clarksville, Indiana) the very first Texas Roadhouse (Go figure, something that should have been created in Texas...) and many more things but I'm too tired to list them.

General Strike of 1919, the Golden Boy, and Neil Young. Oh, and Jonathan Toews is a big name now so he can be added too.

Don't forget terrible jokes bad one liners and some how find a way to rape my older brothers childhood...
Who could forget that?

Can't believe mum actually dragged me to see Transformers 2.

I still hold that against her.
Yeah my family has no taste in movies... it's my cousins favorite movie of all time...([color= white]my other cousin[/color])
and he thinks he can judge my favorite movie of all time... being Blade Runner...
Transformers 2 should never be anyone's favourite movie.

Ever.

Though good choice on yours. Blade Runner fucking rules. Oh how I love you Harrison Ford ^-^

Lots of things. One of the ugliest airports, nextdoor to Juarez, Camino real, Fort Bliss, Mexican food, all that shiz.

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

I live in Tennessee. It's known for 2 things; racism and intolerance.
I live in Duluth, MN. Which is known for being really, really, really cold. I'd take racism in exchange for a decent climate any day of the week.

Olympia Washington.... it's the capitol (although most people think it's seattle). I'm told there's crazy-amazing pot here, as well.

Jade. Only place in Japan and one of a tiny handful of places in the world where you can find jade. Lots of it, too.

Got some interesting history as well, but most places do.

It's cold here too. I actually live farther north than most people in Canada.

Great fucking pick for favourite band. Don't know that anime, but Radiohead is amazing and I love them to death. Got to see them live about 2 or so years ago.

Still the best show I've ever seen.

Ew, Bale??? He's way too much of an asshole. That video of him yelling at the poor light guy was it for me. He lost all sexiness then XD

We call ourselves the, "Energy Capital of the World" Or to put it another way, "We have a crapload of coal." We have some of the oldest operating coal mines in the world."

Houston is home to the Texas Medical Center. It's the largest medical center in the world. It has 14 hospitals(actually 15, but John Sealy Hospital is in Galveston). It has around 20 academic/research institutions, including the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. Oh, and Houston has 24 Fortune 500 companies. The only city that beats it is New York.

Read the subject! Is your hometown known for anything or did something kinda cool happen thats worth sharing? Like a historical event, somebody well known getting born there, etc.

Just a random thread, the most embarassing thing about your hometown thread got me curious.
I believe my town was once mentioned on the tonight show... for having the highest teen pregnancy in the USA...

Really I did a review a while ago and you were one of the few people who commented... and the main character is my avatar... http://www.escapistmagazine.com/for...c-tastic-Anime-Review-Serial-Experiments-Lain
Yeah Radiohead was the first bands I completely fell in love with... the entire OK Computer album is the most listened to on my Ipod...

[color= white]That's why I want the batman persona... batman is just that awesome... unless of course I can get Adam West to do it...[/color]
