I was born in Naperville, Ill but I don't know anything about it, since we moved when I was 1. But where I live now is by Oprah's house which I have to say, I have never been to! Also I live on Lake Michigan, and we have a forest park or something like that called Mt. Baldy.. a huge freagin sand hill with trees around it! You have to climb it to get over to the beach!
Gilroy, California where I live is known for Garlic. Who would have thought I'd be living in the Garlic capitol of the United States?
Our annual garlic festival is coming up at the end of the month! :p
My birth town I guess would be most known for the Chattanooga Choo Choo. Now, it's Cypress Gardens
Well my city is known for the Calgary Stampede, the greatest outdoor show on Earth... ;)
And if you're into hockey.... then we are known for the Calgary Flames.... and if you were really into hockey then we are also known for The Red Mile.... good times, good times..... :D
GBN, the "hazing school" or whatever that was a few years back. People still joke, they say things like, "Hey, that's hazing!" to everything. The school really is good though. We have block scheduling!
Gracie's mommy..would you believe I've been to Deerpark? My account was Rohm and Haas and I opened up a travel office for them in the facility, one sweltering week in August many years ago! I commuted everyday from the Hilton on Nasa Bay Blvd in Houston!
Piqua isn't really known for anything (at least not that I know of!)
If your interested in reading about it, Here's a link
But Piqua isn't my "hometown" my hometown (where I was born) is Chicago. And it's "The Windy City":D
Dear old Eastbourne (www.eastbourne.org) is best known as a place where people come to retire/die! Always mentioned in sit-coms when someone wants to ship Granny off to a home - but I love it anyway! :p
There's nothing that I know of that we're "known for" in Palm Harbor. I do know that years ago Palm Harbor was one of the headquarters for the KKK. Nothing to be proud of. :p
Schwan's Ice Cream started here in Marshall, MN.
