Lost 1,410 August 12, 2012 Share August 12, 2012 Pretty straight forward, what is famous about the village, town or city in-which you live? As some places may not have a claim to fame, you can post one of a nearby place. I'll start, i live in a city called Lincoln in england, and for a short time we had the world's tallest structure, the previous tallest structure were the pyramids. our cathedral held the record from 1311-1549: During WW1 the first modern day tanks were designed and built in Lincoln: We also have one of the oldest and well kept castles in the UK and we also hold an original copy of The Magna Carta. Its a nice city to live in Your friendly neighborhood alcoholic motorcyclist Life is too short to worry what others think of you, be creative, be weird, live life.

(not very proud of the football team though. I dislike football.) To be fair, being from England does give me a slight advantage, we have a longer history than the USA and we're a much smaller country, its hard to be more than 100 miles from somewhere of some form of significance, be it modern of historical.

OptimisticNeighsayer 478 August 12, 2012 Share August 12, 2012 (edited) Springfield, Missouri, I guess is famous for being the jump-off point of Route 66, and apparently for inspiring many Westerns by being the site of one of the few recorded one-on-one quick-draw duels in a public place. And Brad Pitt went to high school there.... Edited August 12, 2012 by JustFairness Hablo español--Je parle français--日本語を話す--我说中文--...and sarcasm (yeah right!) I compose music.

notdog1996 315 August 12, 2012 Share August 12, 2012 (edited) My city is the home of the famous bull Starbuck (bull that you probably never heard of). He's one of the best bulls ever born and he had about 1 million babies all over the world. Before he died, they cloned him and Starbuck II was born. We're also famous for our festival named ''l'expo agricole de saint-hyacinthe'' translated to Saint-hyacinthe's agricultural exposition. My town is mostly famous for agriculture things.

How about that the film The Midnight Man was filmed a little here, no yeah got that from Wikipedia so not important. How about that a majority of the major motion picture Chill Factor was filmed on location in Liberty(Where I live duh)... Yeah also taken from Wikipedia, don't blame me for using it. Ok so no we are a no important tiny town in the top of South Carolina, and here is where I got all my information from... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty,_South_Carolina See for yourself how unimportant we are!

Discordian 6,015 August 12, 2012 Share August 12, 2012 Closest famous place I live is near Seattle (I live about an hour away) and that's famous for the Space Needle. Fun fact about my hometown though: Auburn used to be called Slaughter before it's name was changed in 1893. It was named after Lt. William Slaughter who died in a skirmish. The main hotel in the town was called the Slaughter House. Fun, right? lmao Oddly enough aside from a few gangster hangouts it's a fairly quiet town. Whenever you walk anywhere you're lucky to see even one or two people on the sidewalks. The streets usually have cars going down them but there's no one walking around usually, even on main roads.

Book 45 August 12, 2012 Share August 12, 2012 John Dillinger robbed a bank here in my home town October 23 1933.

Cherry Blossom 864 August 12, 2012 Share August 12, 2012 Harriet Tubman actually came around this area in Maryland. I also think some battles from the Civil War have happened here as well.

Discordian 6,015 August 12, 2012 Share August 12, 2012 Ooo, reading the Wikipedia page I learned a couple of other things. You know how the Twilight books are based in Forks, Washington? Apparently an actor in the movie Twilight once lived here in Auburn. The Governer of Washington was raised here. Sir Mix-A-Lot started out here (not sure if anyone knows him, I only vaguely know the name) D.C. Simpson, the artist behind the webcomic Ozy and Millie used to live here (or maybe she still does, I dunno) And here's one some of you may even recognize: Dick Scobee, one of the astronauts on the failed Discovery shuttle, lived here briefly and we even have an elementary school named after him. (I used to attend Dick Scobee Elementary in second, third and fourth grades.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
