My hometown is famous for a few things in my country. Few of the most important people for our country are born here; a music festival for pop music is held here every year and it's tradition for almost 30 years; and it's famous mostly for this:

Well the Church in the movie the Graduate is the one and the same. It's actually the same one used in Wayne's World 2 as well. Just mirror imaged.

Also for those of you who have watched Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, this is the the town of Water Lube (Raging Waters) and the Circle K that was in the movie, the part where they meet their past selves, is the one in the same.

Okay, I kinda cheated, but I live on the border of the two cities La Verne and San Dimas, so I count them both. That's all I've got for now. Cool stuff though.
