Is your hometown known for anything?

[Something Amyss]

I was born in the same town as Penn Gillette.

My hometown is known for being one mile above the sea. Awesome, right? Although my home state is known as the location of NORAD and some Air Force bases. But we have mountains! And trees!

Fritzl

I will not explain further. About four months ago I still lived in my birth town that managed to squeeze in 5 minutes of questionable international fame. It was hilarious to read up on all the headlines spread over the globe and how it (mostly wrongly) depicted the town.

I live in San Bernardino. It's famous for being the largest county in the United States.

 

[Brightzide]

Erm...It's the largest city in Canada, and previously had the tallest building in the world in it...thats about it.

 

[Agayek]

Considering I was born in San Francisco, I don't think I really need to mention what it's famous for.


For the foreign members of the audience: The 1849 gold rush and, more recently, the Castro.

If you don't know what the Castro is: Think just about any stereotype you can come up with for a homosexual sub-society and it fits.
