I live in Geelong, Australia, and in our country we're probably best known for our football team, the Geelong Cats, who have won the AFL premiership 2 out of the last 3 years. They're absolutely awesome!

I live in the suburbs around Minneapolis, Minnesota. I guess we are known for....being a suburb? Not too much really. If you count the U of M though, winning a shit ton at hockey (which I hate).

Underage and pre-marital pregnancies.

I thought Kentucky was bad.

Edit: Isn't it weird that no matter where you go, you know someone (or at least know someone who knows someone) from Eugene, Oregon?

I live on the Goldcoast in Australia, and we are best known for Sun and Surf, boring i know but a pretty good gig none the less.

And who do you barrack for? But true, they weren't as good as Brisbane, but they have a better overall winning percentage over that three years.

This poem. [http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/barbara-frietchie/] And the famed Clustered Spires, which you used to be able to see from my house until some asshole built rowhouses in front of it.

Oh yeah, and this too. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USAMRIID] It looks nothing like they showed it in the movie Outbreak.

What was once the world's largest mall, indoor amusement park and indoor waterpark, a very successful hockey team, sky-rocketing property prices, an excellent university, and Bioware.

Guess where I live.
