    Kleine Brogel, a municipality of Belgium. It is home to the 10th Tactical Wing, operating F-16 Fighting Falcons.

    It has been subject to much political controversy because of U.S. nuclear weapons allegedly being stored in the facility.

    Lockport, Illinois (est. 1830) gets its name from Lock No. 1 of the Illinois and Michigan Canal, which allowed boat transportation from the Great Lakes to the Mississippi River. The I&M Canal was overtaken by the railroads, though. Lockport is also at the point where the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal meets up with the DesPlaines River. Lots of waterway history there.

    Truth or Consequences is a spa city in and the county seat of Sierra County, New Mexico, United States

    Originally named Hot Springs, the city changed its name to Truth or Consequences, the title of a popular NBC radio program. In 1950, Ralph Edwards, the host of the radio quiz show Truth or Consequences announced that he would air the program from the first town that renamed itself after the show. Hot Springs, NM won the honor. Ralph Edwards came to the town during the first weekend of May for the next fifty years. This event was called "Fiesta" and included a beauty contest, a parade, and a stage show. The city still celebrates Fiesta each year on the first Saturday of May. The parade generally features area celebrities such as the Hatch Chile Queen. Fiesta also features a dance in Ralph Edwards Park.

    Snohomish, WA Dad was stationed in Eastern Washington when he was in the Army, and when I was a kid, his friends from then lived in Snohomish. It's well north of Seattle, closer to Everett, WA. And they have a Trestle and Pass Cam! http://www.ci.snohomish.wa.us/TrestleCam.htm

    Nagasaki is the capital and the largest city of Nagasaki Prefecture on the island of Kyūshū in Japan. Nagasaki was founded by the Portuguese in the 16th century. It was a center of Portuguese and European influence in the 16th through 19th centuries. Nagasaki became a major Imperial Japanese Navy base during the First Sino-Japanese War and Russo-Japanese War.

    During World War II, the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki made Nagasaki the second and last city in the world to be subject to nuclear attack.
