I don't quite know what you meant by that but I'm gonna let it slide.

Helensburgh is actually pretty boring - the shops aren't that good and there's nothing to do. But the guy who invented the television, John Logie Baird, was born here and I reckon that's an amazing 'claim to fame'! :tv:

[JethroSimpson]

My small town Portsmouth here in the south of England is well known to have Charles Dickens born here, he was born in a house about a 10 minuete drive from where I live.

My town (Mt. Clemens) is known as the mineral bath capital of the world. In the 1st half of the 20th century, people from all over would come stay at the many hotels that used to be here and take these mineral baths. They supposedly cured arthritis, back pain and many other ailments . The baths sort of went away I think around the 1950s, but I've heard recently that they are supposed to be making a comeback.

Hollywood, all the famous people, Beverly Hills, all those other rich places. We are the most diverse city in America, our advanced technology, our medical institutions, our beaches. We have Disneland, Six Flags etc., marathons and other fun activities. The home of the two time NBA championship basketball team, the Lakers. Hmm, what else? Smog city, well only in the city.We have a lot of resturants and stuff and a lot more that I can't think of.

[Blair85]

I'm sure none of you have any clue what I'm talking about, but my town is known as "the ramp capital of the world". A ramp is some kind of plant that grows wild around here and we have a festival every year where people come and eat this thing. The "ramps" smell awful & I can't believe people actually eat them & I wouldn't touch them w/ a 10 foot pole!!!! :cool: :confused: :wave:

Well at the bottom of Jinny Rockz's post, I can not see any posts! It just says the page is done loading! This is on every page where Jinny has posts. I know there are more posts, but whenever she posts, I can't get to see anay posts following hers at all!!! Is anyone else having this problem or am I the only one? And If I am, is there something I could have blocked? Because I've known it for a while, but it's really getting on my nerves. Maybe TJ can answer this. If you're reading this, acn you tell me what's wrong??? Sorry, just had to tell that to someone.

[Blair85]

No, you're not alone. The same thing happened to me. Freaky!
:eek:

[Mysty Eyes]

Okay... what's my town known for?

Uh...

Beaches, palm trees, clifftop park, pier with carousel... all of which have been seen many, many times in films and TV shows. Numerous other locales that have also been used as backdrops.

It's very much a tourist trap as well.

But lately, I'd say that it's best known for its constant ongoing construction. For years now there has been all sorts of construction: new buildings, renovations, landscaping, road work.

Dirt and noise town.

Yep! That about says it all!

:(

[Mr. Shy Guy]

It happened to me too. :confused:

Anyways, all my town is known for is the River Rat Race. Actully, I think it's next weekend. However I think its pretty boring. The only good part is at the beginning when the race starts and all of the boats crash. It's funny seeing all of those boats flip. :lol:

Ayr,southern Scotland--- birthplace of John McAdam,the inventor of tarmac('tarmacadam'),also Rabbie Burns was born in the village of Alloway,a few miles away.............Also the castle at the south end of the beach(we have one at either end,jealous?..........lol)is built on the foundations of a 4th century AD Celtic fortress,which one historian has stated could be the real Camelot if his theory that Arthur was a Celtic warlord born in Ayrshire is correct............and the fanous Badon Hill battle would therefore have been fought on the reverse slope of the hill I am currently staring at at the south of the Ayr bay.....................

[PZelda]

I wished I lived in a town of 3500. Where I live it used to be a farming and ranching town. It was known for it's ostrich ranches. There still are farms and some small ranches and dairy's but developers are buying up the land and corporations and housing developments and stores are every where. There so much traffic and the crime rate has gone up, plus rude people are moving here. What is so stupid is that these idiots move next to a farm and then complain to the city about the flies and smell. That's why the some of the farmers are moving. It's so sad.

I guess my town is best known as home of the Texas Rangers baseball team. They suck, but whatever.

[Blair_Warner02]

They call us 'The Glass City' I'm not exactly sure why but I think it may have something to do with the glass skyscrapers downtown.

My city is also the Home of the Jeep, my uncle works there at the plant.

Jamie Farr from M*A*S*H is from here every year people come here for 'The Jamie Farr Kroger Classic' golf tournament.

Katie Holmes (Dawsons Creek) is also from here. She went to High School at Notre Dame Academy where some of my aunts, who are nuns, teach at. Her cousin is married to my cousin, but I've never met her.

[~*Dailey'sGurl*~]

My town: Mt. Airy, NC is known for Andy Griffith. He was born & raised in Mt. Airy. Some have mentioned that their town was mentioned on t.v. Mt. Airy wasn't mentioned on the Andy Griffith Show, but lots of things in Mt. Airy were mentioned: Snappy Lunch, and the list goes on. Andy was even shown reading a copy of the Mt. Airy News, our local newspaper.
We have Mayberry Days every year to celebrate this wonderful man!

Merry Christmas!!!!!!! God Bless! :)

[*Pleasant Tomorrow*]

Let's see...uh...sucking?

Seriously, this really hasn't been a popular town since the 50's maybe, or I don't know. It used to be known as the Copper City. (I live in Rome, NY btw) But whatever...I guess we're known for Woodstock 99...and we have Griffis Air Force Base here, it's been closed for a while now so that's why our city really isn't much of anything anymore because that's basically why people came here. Now that's where our highschool is :lol: Oh, and Hilary Duff said our city on the Disney Channel. WOooo :rolleyes: She's goes "I'm going to Rome, and I'm not talking about Rome NY...etc" Made me excited because people actually know this city exists, even if it was Hilary Duff :lol: I'm pathetic. Ugh, I hate it here, though. It's so boring :wallbang

And the Padres, the Chargers, the Aztecs, the beach. Great place to live but the housing is expensive. Some if not most apartments cost $1000 per month and that doesn't even cover the utilities and stuff.

[robyrob]

i've had many "home" towns, but where I'm living now is the home of the "Dayton Boot Company" and "Daytons", "Dayton Adhesive Products" (DAP), and all those binders that say "Mead" on them. Apparently they are also in a quibble with Kittyhawk, NC over which town is the birthplace of flight; Dayton being the place that the Wright brothers lived and did most of their work.
hmmm, another interesting one is Delco, aka AC Delco - DelcoRemy, which originally came from Dayton ELectrical COmpany...

all of which means that it is just as boring as anyplace else, but we are close enough to Cinncinnati that I can go look at the fountain they show in the WKRP opening :D

[TheHappyBurgerMeister]

Well, my town is pretty crappy, but the only big thing I can think of is Liberace was born and raised a little in my town. He's a famous (or was-he's dead) pianist.

Oh yeah - how could I forget the Space Needle? (Probably because I'm so preoccupied about the RAIN!!!)
