I live in walking distance of many bus stops which will take me to one of several stations on the Red Line. The infamous Red Line of the DC Metro system. Some of you may have read or seen the news stories last year about the trains which hit head-on. That is just one of the many problems which seem to manifest exclusively on the red line.

Delden, Netherlands.

The most exiting thing about it is a castle and a Salt Museum. Other than that, nothing ever happens. And it was razed about six times during the Dutch Revolt.

How about the million dollar website that depicted a beach that was not in Edmonton. That was my favorite lol. And the homeless aren't so bad. Good fro target Practice :).
Oh gawd. >< But that was Alberta tourism [http://www.ctv.ca/CTVNews/TopStories/20090424/alta_campaign_090424/], so I didn't really think about it in terms of Edmonton.

I'm from Derby, UK, the most embarrasing thing we ever did was accidentally start the industrial revolution with cotton mills.

Which resulted in modern day high stress, nuclear armed, obesity obsessed, out of shape and whacky world.
What about the stupid sheep statue you have in your city centre?

Not specifically my hometown but close enough is the monstrosity known as Touchdown/Big Butter Jesus, though to be honest most people I knew were embarrassed by the thing. He burned down earlier this year but they're going to rebuild him. As a side note PETA offered them money to rebuild it if they put the message:Blessed are the Merciful. Go Vegan but the church decided that would just be silly and declined the offer.

Why, the fattest man in the world lives here!
(and a bunch of prostitutes were murdered. Though I think that's more horrifying than embarassing.)

I am in Arizona and I would have to say our bipolar choices about our government are something to be embarrassed about.

Largo, Florida still has a clock tower as its symbol, but they tore the thing down this year (2010).
I though Florida's symbol was the old lady driving with her left blinker on ;)
