Stolen from

I'm interested in where you all live.

So I'd love for you to comment below, and tell me which city/region/country you are from. And I'd love if you could add to that one particular thing that makes your part of the world unique. It might be music, a TV show, a recipe, a landmark, a specific historical fact. Anything you are proud of, whether other people might be aware of it or not. Pictures are also awesome if you like.

And I know you might not think there's anything interesting about your town, but sometimes it's odd what you dig up. I was looking for a picture of Bridgman, and discovered that my dinky ass town was once a hotbed for the Communist Party of America. I kid you not. They held conventions here until they were infiltrated by the Feds in 1922 and like 30 people were arrested.

I'm from central Ohio and um, we're a Buckeye kinda town. Most people who don't live here think it's a cowtown but it's definitely not. :-)

You're lucky I'm not a serious Wolverine fan. :P lol
I have not been to central Ohio, but I've been to the Cleveland area many times.

LOL.

Well if you ever are, I can be a tour guide. :-)

I still live in London, UK, where I was born and brought up, and I love my city a lot. There's more history here than you can shake a stick at - people have lived on this land under a similar name since at least Roman times - and it's a fantastic place to live. We have great public transport, genuine diversity, a whole bunch of famous tourist attractions and landmarks, great art and architecture, and no matter your taste and culture, something is probably happening to entertain you somewhere in London every night of the year.

My home town is Eltham, a suburb of south-east London. We have lots of history there too (we were one of the earliest "commuter villages" thanks to railway links out to Kent built in the mid-19th century, and a commuter town for the arms factory during the First World War too) - probably the most interesting historical fact I know about Eltham is that one of the local cemeteries holds the grave of the very first Australian Aborigine to visit Europe.

That's really interesting.

York, PA. I'm about 30 min away from "Amish Country" (Lancaster County). lol

We've had a few films filmed around here, Girl Interrupted, Apprentice to Murder (which is actually based on a "true" story that occured about 5 min from my house, and they had the movie premiere here), and Oprah's Beloved (which fucked up traffic on my way to work for MONTHS LOL).

I'm from Edwardsburg, where the most exciting thing to happen was the night Charles Lindberg's mom stayed in a hotel in Edwardsburg because the weather sucked too much to keep going that night. Sadly, the building that this happened in burned down.

Currently I'm in Houghton, which gets 300 inches of snow per winter. Important part of the Copper Country, which was the first great mining boom in the country and lasted a lot longer than the California and Yukon gold rushes.

My town is the home of the World Dryer Corporation. Yeah, you're all jealous.
