My hometown is famous for a few things in my country. Few of the most important people for our country are born here; a music festival for pop music is held here every year and it's tradition for almost 30 years; and it's famous mostly for this:


this my friends it's called Pastrmajlija (Пастрмајлија; if you can read Cyrillic). It's a specialty of my town, and to come here and not to try it - it's a sin against the locals :) I don't know if it looks delicious (I guess not cause all you can see is meat), but it sure taste incredible.

Well the Church in the movie the Graduate is the one and the same. It's actually the same one used in Wayne's World 2 as well. Just mirror imaged.

Also for those of you who have watched Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, this is the the town of Water Lube (Raging Waters) and the Circle K that was in the movie, the part where they meet their past selves, is the one in the same.

Okay, I kinda cheated, but I live on the border of the two cities La Verne and San Dimas, so I count them both. That's all I've got for now. Cool stuff though.

Unfortunately we're just the brother to one of the worst cities in America. The house I first lived in? A 2 minute walk from said city. OUR city is just find and dandy but in comparison most people put all their amazing efforts towards that city to try and make it look better. Because of that we're pretty boring.
