Things Associated with your City/Town

[Quadlok]

Just what it souds like. What would people think about when they hear the name of your town? Living, as I do, in what is essentially a bedroom community for state workers and soldiers, the best I have is the band Sleater Kinney, named after a street here. Olympia, of course, has its own beer and type of oyster. So how about everyone else?

[Noble Ire]

Well, apparently, the Kennedy's used to take short excursions to near where I live. Other than that though, my town is a hole in the dirt community of no significance whatsoever.

Hmmm..

Fort Collins, Colorado most known for:

- 100+ microbrews (See: College Town) including some nationally known such as Fat Tire Ale (New Belgium Brewing Co: http://www.newbelgium.com/)

- Largest number of Bars/Restaurants per capita in the U.S. (see again: College Town)

- Probably other things I don't know about

Edit:

I forgot: Busch keeps their Clydesdales (and breweries) in Fort Collins

Hmm.. I guess FC is a great place for a lush to live!

Used to be the greatest amount of UFO sightings in the USA for a long time, possibly still is now.

We're close to lots of military stuff including Eglin Air Force Base, but most of it is so borderline or big it's counted as in another town.

Am not doing where I live because my town is known for absolutely nothing and I don't want you psychos knowing where I live anyway. But I will do good ol' Baltimore:

crabs/crabcakes (with Old Bay)
low literacy rate
National Aquarium
Camden Yards
Edgar Allen Poe's grave
Syphilis
The Walters Art Gallery
The Babe Ruth museum
appropriately being the setting of "Homicide"
The Cal Ripkens
The world-famous Johns Hopkins Hospital
The perfect-season-winning (2005), NCAA Division I Men's Lacrosse Championship winner, the Johns Hopkins University Blue Jays!

Apparently there's a museum on dentistry in B-more too, but Lord knows it sure as hay-ell ain't famous.

My hometown of Port Townsend ....

Now known in-state as an artsy little seaside town with a good Wooden Boats Foundation, music festivals almost year-round but known mostly for Jazz Festival and Fiddle Tunes ... home of one of the country's great small publishing houses, Copper Canyon Press ... crowded every weekend from May through October with tourists either 'getting away from it all' or on their way to Canada ... two good marinas and excellent anchorage in the bay for those who pooh-pooh marinas (it was a Clipper Ship destination when Seattle was just a little logging camp).

When I grew up there ... stinky little mill town in the middle of nowhere.

[Ghost Rider]

Washington DC. Everything they think of America with the added bonus of high crime, nutty traffic, insane democrats, and nuts in general.

But we do have the Smithsonian and shitload of sites .

[Alferd Packer]

Well, there are bunch of old, abandoned mines that belonged to Thomas Edison way back when, and Babe Ruth once stayed in our town.

More recently, Brad Pitt had a home here, and Jerry Verdorn (a soap opera actor) lives here, but I think he's moving. I think that about covers it.

[Bob the Gunslinger]

Well, as of 20 minutes ago, the town of Yucaipa is now associated bith big fucking earthquakes.

My home town is associated with "surf city" and the Beach Boys. In fact, the town motto is "Surf City".

[The Dark]

Oviedo? Chickens and celery. We have wild chickens that live in the town, and used to be the celery capital of the world.

[Hardy]

Kissimmee, FL.

Theme parks, tourism, swamps, cattle rasing and rodeo, a facsimile of the Old West, rednecks, now-extinct Native American tribes, real estate, etc. Lovely, eh? If you go only about 50km north, it's much different.

[Sr.mal]

Bakersfield CA
