Hometown = Morehead, KY = Cave Run Lake, KY Folk Art Center, Morehead State University = boredom

Where I live now = Ashland, KY = Oil Refinery = POLLUTION!

The town that i live in (Thief River Falls, MN) is known for Arictic Cat, which is a snowmobile company thing. They manufacture, and build snowmobiles. We also have Digi -Key, I am not sure what exactly it is, I always am told they make parts, for computers and stuff..?? Anyways Digi-Key employess probably 70% of TRF's residents. It is the only Digi-Key in the world.

The school I go to, is one of the best schools in MN, it is ahead of most of the schools in the state.

Well besides the fabulous food Syracuse has, I should also mention the famous people....Tom Cruise was born there but moved to Long Island as a child; Richard Gere is from Syracuse and when he was married to Cindy Crawford, we would often see the 2 of them at midnight mass at church.(His mother lives in the same town as my parents) ALL the Baldwin boys are from Syracuse and come home quite often. I have seen them around towm many times. I actually stood in line at a toy store behind Steven Baldwin once!! Their mother still lives there and is very active in the community and the fight against breast cancer. Bobcat Goldwaithe(comedian) is also from Syracuse as is Benny Mardones(singer with a #1 song)
And of course there are the athletes, Derrick Coleman (whom I have met and he is so NOT nice), Jim Brown went to Syracuse University, Carmelo Anthony, who is a sweetheart and SO Nice!! I'm sure there are others but I'm no big on my sports unless its baseball...

I can't really say my hometown is known for anything. We have a lot of orange trees so that means a lot of migrant workers. Not anything to be known for though. Oh wait we have a Kumquat Festival annually. Personally, I have never had a Kumquat, don't even know what it looks like. For more info on my little podunk town here's a link.

I do like it though, it's quiet and has a lot of history.
