what put your town on the map?

The movie "Shallow Hal" you know, that movie with Jack Black and a fat Gwyneth Paltrow in it (mention the movie to my mom and she'll automatically point out that she made the cake Gwyneth eats in the movie...the closest my family will ever get to the big screen )
And the fact that this is the largest city in North Carolina. Whoop-dee doo.
And something about American Idol, though I don't what. Never much cared about American Idol.

Well, lesseeee.... New Orleans, Louisiana

Birthplace of Jazz, everyone knows Louis Armstrong? The famous trumpet player.
Emril, the cheff, which has many many resturants and his own tv show.
Bourbon street, very well know street, know for it's many bars and clubs and such.
Mardi Gras! Let the good times roll! Parades and cheep trinkets, marching bands(which I am a proud member of), beads, boose, and partying!
The movie Runaway Jury was based here and was filmed here. John Cusac (sp?)
Also, people loooove the spicy cajun and creole seafood, Spicey crawfish!!! *dies* I could do with some of that right about now! lol

Well, I believe the elementary schools/middle schools here are very highly ranked- but it all goes downhill at the high school. And I live just about 20 minutes away from St. Louis.

One of my rival high schools *kicks it* has made state in football for so many years or whatever. Stupid Katy High, it will go down *laughs evily*

- It's within walking distance of the oldest (and best!) ballpark still in use by MLB, Fenway Park. It's also the smallest, and it was built in 1912; contrary to popular belief it is older than Wrigley Field.
- There's a whole load of famous historical stuff, and I don't get most of it.
- It's on a hill. Well, what I consider to be my "town" is entirely on a hill anyway.
- It's absolutely impossible to park.
- Keith Foulke lives here.

Uh, part of New York City? A lot of other stuff, but I'm too lazy to find out who's buried here and was born here and all that.

[Spunkie]

The fact that we disarm chemical weapons.

I really can't guess where most of you all live.

And Charles Rennie Macintosh was born in Glasgow. *nods*

The thing I know about the town I live in is that HG Wells was born here in 1866.

[Hil]

Hmm....

-It's the state capital
-The Kings are in this city
-The governator stays at a hotel here during the weekdays

That's all I can think of.

I live in Sacramento.

[DM was on fire!]

I think the only good thing about Greer is the BMW plant is here. And it's home of the Greer gostappos (sp?). You don't want to be pulled over by a Greer cop, trust me.

And something about American Idol, though I don't what. Never much cared about American Idol.

Fantasia Barrino lives in High Point.

Whoops, I forgot to mention one more tidbit- Vancouver's the third largest city in Canada, Toronto *cough* and Montreal being first and second.
