Your home town's claim to fame

[Engarde]

Used to be home for teen pregnancy in South Australia, but I think we lost out on that title just recently. So...I don't know. Shame about that.

Oil and a man with large teeth.

More recently, a steakhouse and a burrito shack.

I don't think we have anything here, frankly it's pretty boring, as all of the state.
I suppose skiing.
Why do we say frankly?
Who was "Frank"
Why is his name now a saying for serious?
That was really off topic

Batavia, City of Energy and home of the (now shutdown) Tevatron particle accelerator at Fermilab which was the largest particle accelerator in the world before the LHC went online.

Not my home town, but I currently live in San Antonio. We have the Alamo. That is all that has to be said.

I live in this backwoods town called Roscoe IL. Highlights include leaving, cornfeilds, and police who harass teenagers while the drug dealers sell thier stuff uncontested.

Dauphin Manitoba, the birth place of Canada's most decorated serviceman LT.COL William George Barker.

Saginaw, it was the most violent city in America per capita for a few years running. I don't live in the city but a township nearby where it is pretty nice but I've been to the hood and it is BAD.

Erm, Pittsburgh was the base of Andrew Carnegie? That's one part of local history I know. In his plan to become super-rich through the steel industry he made the entire city cloaked in smog because of pollution. And while the steel industry suffered and died, creating a huge recession brought on by a perfect storm of foreign competition, corporations being bought out, and deregulation by Ronald Reagan, at least it's now cleaner here. So I guess the lesson is self-destruction can lead to a better picture to put on a postcard.

And it was once the home of Andy Warhol, the painter.

Also, I'm positive I've been ninja'd, but there are 10 pages right now. I haven't the time to read them all, so sorry if you're re-reading something.

Chuck Testa...swear to god.

Tewksbury, Massachusetts was once the carnation capital of the world. Not much, but it's better than nothing.

 

[Ethring]

Hmm, hometown is Geneseo, IL. Home to Springfield Armory. Manufacturers of some of the finest sidearms known to man. A quaint little Victorian farm town where everyone is warm, friendly, and armed to the teeth, lol.

My town has an alright university and a bad ass river.
That's it unfortunately.

Louisville Kentucky. We have the Derby and we make Louisville Sluggers, but other than that we're pretty unremarkable.

Oh yeah, we also have My Morning Jacket and the Louisville Cards are pretty good at basketball.
