Is your hometown known for anything?

Toilets! We make most of the toilets for the UK.
Armitage Shanks

Oh and a murderer known as William Palmer, but I doubt anyone's heard of him.

Not that I know of, but about 15-20 min west lies the longest and highest trestle bridge in the world.

My town had one of the biggest concentration camps in Finland during our war against the Soviet. Nowadays the old camps are a military facility and when boys turn 18 they have to do military service for 1 year and almost everyone who speaks Swedish comes to this town and the training is done in the exact same place were the barracks used to be.

What's Berlin like? I've always fancied going.

As for me, where I was born is famous for having the bejesus bombed out of it by the Germans in World War II, and it's also the the home of Jaguar (the car, not the cat ). The town I live in now is famous for being home to the world's first ever iron bridge (it's called Ironbridge, fancy that...) and the town got its name from Thomas Telford, a prominent engineer and architect.

For those of you from Tennessee, what about Jack Daniel's?

I live in New Orleans, and that means... MARDI GRAS

 

[DaJoW]

Well, the town I grew up in had/has: Birthplace of the leader of a peasant rebellion (Engelbrekt Engelbrektsson), housed Swedens first locomotive, it's been the site of several national championships in skiing, important mining site for several hundred years (in total for about 1500 years) and currently hosts the largest electronic music festival in the Nordic countries. Think that's about it. Not too bad for a town with a population of 6,000.
