I get the privilege of looking out my window every morning to see the gutted remains of the old Molson factory. Sigh, at least we don't live in Luton, England.LeonHellsvite said:
English Escapists, can you get behind Luton as maybe the worst place ever?
In my town Hexham Abbey [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexham_Abbey]

The Ericsson Globe (the largest hemispherical building in the world)
Gröna Lund (amusement park, basically means "green grove")
Vasa (the ship that sank a mile into its maiden voyage in 1628, epic fail)
Gamla Stan ("old city", full of old pretty buildings and funny stores brought up by immigrants)

..uhm..
A really bad school that is supposed to be all nature loving and stuff(mainly equals going out to the forest for 2 hours when it's raining like hell, yeah I went to that school.), some really old houses and a bunch of rocks that Carl von Linné wrote on.

I live between a "city" *ahem* called West Bromwich and Birmingham.
West Brom has a rather ugly £60mil Art Gallery called The pUBLIC(sic) that no-one visits.
Birmingham has the Bull ring - A MASSIVE shopping centre. Which we can be relatively proud of at least.

Well the only real landmark for my town is the Groundhog, which isn't even really a landmark in itself, but since I live in Punxsutawney, where the holiday Groundhog Day started, I guess it's something.
Since I live in the middle-of-nowhere America, the closest thing our town has to a historical landmark is called the Choclate morale (the name changed to Tea roses,I think) which is(was,it's now closed.) a resturant where some guy brutally murdered his wife about a hundred and twenty years ago,and is now supposedly haunted.
For Chicago, and this is probably the most notable landmark.
I'd have to say the Sears...oh wait, Willis Tower.
You can't have a shot of the city without it.
You know, on account of how tall it is.
Then there's our version of Chinatown, but that's really not so much a landmark as it is a part of the city.
Accompanying it in our travel brochures and Travel Channel specials there are the numerous other remarkable buildings like that Water Tower, the Hancock, Art Institute with the lions in the front, the upcoming Chicago Spire, our version of the Trump Tower, the Museum Campus which houses the Field Museum, the Shedd Aquarium, and the Adler Planetarium. There's also the Museum of Science of Industry, which is great because there's a lot more interactive stuff than normal museums and sometimes they like to shut off the lights for closing without announcing it.
But it's mostly just the Willis Tower.
