Your home town's claim to fame

[Rune342]

Longview Washington is known for the only bridge in the world made solely for the use of squirrels. We are a sad, boring place.
Oh, and we might be the inspiration for the Green Day song "Longview". That doesn't make us sound all that better does it?

Mount Morris, New York

Birthplace and hometown of Francis Bellany, the writer of the pledge of allegiance

Oh right, the dude from Prototype was born here, but that's it.

Dallas, Texas! This is where JFK got shot! We've also got a lot of highways!

Jacksonville Florida, USA. Named after Andrew Jackson, a general in the united states military during the war of 1812, and who's most memorable battle was fought after the war was declared over. He also kicked all the native Indians out of the area. I think he had a quote that went something like "Lol problem natives?". Heh...heh...oh i'm going to hell.

Is the monument Pro-Brit or Pro-IRA?

The IRA as we know them didn't exist at the time, but it's commemorating the rebels.

Clint Eastwood was our mayor! And he only did it so he could legalize the purchasing of some property he wanted to build a restaurant on.

It was overrun by zombies.

Remember the Intelligent Design thing in schools that happened several years ago? That was my hometown. Dover, PA

 

[ObsidianJones_v1legacy]

I was Born in the Bronx. And before you snicker 'haha, how did you survive the drive-bys', the answer is by dodging. That was a real thing in the early 90's. Cleaned the hell up because of rich people wanting to live close to Manhattan but can't afford the rates, so they settled in the outlining Boros.

Saratoga Springs, NY

We are known for our amazing springs and the horse race track. You can see it in the movie Seabiscuit. We have a disney hotel named after us, but it looks nothing like Saratoga.

We did create the potato chip
