I'm in DC so it's hard to pick one, but I guess I'd say the Capitol is probably it although the Washington Monument is probably featured on more stuff, the Capitol stands for more.

It's a ~4 meters high bronze statue of aurochs, a extinct breed of cattle which is situated somehow with my towns history.

Statue of Pochahontas (however it is spelt)
My town is the place where Pochahontas saved "John Smith" from execution.

Birnbeck pier (rotting into the sea)
The Grand Pier (Burnt down Last Year)
Tropicana (derelict building site halfway through being deconstructed)

Weston Super Mare? That's nearby, I'm a little further up the coast.

Where I live is a bit small, but Bristol has the Suspension Bridge.

The Moose Lodge, where... southern men of extreme pride and sun-baked necks... gather to drink beer, play pool, ogle admittedly unattractive women, and just all around fart about.

Sure, it doesn't sound like much, until you realize that the Moose Lodge is much more than a Southern Watering Hole. People have died in that lodge. People have been born in that lodge. People have proposed and gotten married in that lodge. The lodge isn't just a lodge, it's the last remaining bit of America: the real America. Not the America where politicians argue pointlessly, gigantic corporations control everything, and everyone's fat from eating too much fast food. The America where Men are men, where the beer's always cold, where everyone lives in small houses surrounded by dirt roads and beautiful meadows, where you don't get slapped with a lawsuit for punching some ass in the face because he was talking crap about your mama/wife/girlfriend, and where people who serve in the armed forces are still heroes, dammit!!!

I quite like it. When a respected author and a monkfish really love each other...

And this mountain dominates the skyline.

My Hamlet has the world's largest Garden Gnome.
At what point does a garden gnome become too big to continue calling a gnome?
The Gnome is 13'6", so I guess if it was one more inch it couldn't be called a Garden Gnome.
At 13'6" I'd call the damn thing two garden Shaq's.
I would not want to see it garden gnomes freak me out enough

Um, the post office? The area I live in isn't even technically a town. There is a smattering of houses down dirt roads and a post office... that's it. Whoo, Pinon Hills! Go ruralness!

So, Edmonton's taken a bit of a beating partly by me. Here's a nice picture of the city's river valley which runs through the middle of town, along with the Muttart Conservatory (basically a nature sanctuary). Enjoy!

Some giant tent/canopy/wannabe Eifle Tower, structure to mark that we had the Worlds Fair here in the 70's or something. Also we have waterfalls right in the city, pretty rad.

The Dock Tower.

Ever heard of it? Didn't think so.

Such a grand and historical landmark that they had plans to knock it down in case German subs used it as a reference point for a sneaky invasion on Britains blind-side. Never mind that its not visible outside of the Humber Estuary or anything. Nah.

We have this statue of a cougar outside of the high school thats ugly as hell. Its grey for one, which I suppose its a statue but still, and its supposed to be swiping its paw with its claws out, but the statue maker made the claws like a foot long each so it looks like some kind of crazy wolverine cougar.

I live in newcastle upon tyne in northern england.
Ours is the Tyne bridge which goes over our river.
It was the prototype bridge for the Sydney harbour bridge. The guy who built the sydney one built the tyne one first to see if his idea worked.
Just look it up in google images and you'll see how similar it is to the sydney one, even though its so much smaller.
Yeah, I'd go with that too.
