Cool/Interesting Things About Your Hometown

[btkrausen]

In this big family of reefers, many of us lead interesting lives and have the benefits of living in interesting areas. What is your hometown and what cool & interesting things are there?

I'll start: Bardstown, KY

One word: Bourbon - Bardstown in the bourbon capital of the world (Barton Brands, Jim Beam, Makers Mark, Heaven Hill, Four Roses)

We have My Old Kentucky Home (state symbol and song)

I'm sure interesting things have happened here but the things I experienced personally were: In Orange, CA - the making of "That thing you do" staring Tom Hanks (I was 10 feet from him) and the movie Kindergarten Cop staring Arnold Schwarzenegger (I was on the second story and saw him down below). A lot of movies were filmed here, but in Old Town Orange, including "Big Momma's house" staring Martin Lawrence.
