what put your town on the map?

[Twizzler0171]

My town (Errmm.. is it even a town?) is just barely on the maps. Probably because of the army depot. Once that is gone, this will be a ghost town. I bet you a million Neopoints it will...

[Smart Duck]

My town was the end of the cattle dirve trails, Texas Trail, whatever. Now we claim to be the Cowboy Capitol. We also have Boot Hill.

My towns supposed to be called the ' Fair City ', but if you see the neds that patrol every street, you begin to think twice.

I seem to spend half my time avoiding neds. It's almost as if they deliberatley follow me.......

[DM was on fire!]

About all I'll tell of my home town *coughsoontobeaghosttowncough* is it is the Oldest city in the State of Tennessee. That's about it.

I'm going to take a guess and say...Nashville?

Steel.
Heinz Ketchup.
Andrew Carnegie.

There ya go.

I live in Pittsburgh.

Don't forget the 3 Rivers, George Washington running away from the Battle for Fort Duquesne and then marching back triumphally to build Fort Pitt, many, many colleges/universities (CMU, Pitt, Duquesne, etc.), two brand new, beautiful sports stadiums that the teams didn't necessarily deserve, horrible roadway construction, beautiful bridges that are the most plentiful in the world, great health care and dinosaurs (our collection is one of the best in the world)

My town is the "City of Fountains". Tons of fountains are located around the city I live in n_n.

awww I bet that is pretty

[Charisma]

Michael Phelps lives near here... I think...
And that's it. =( My city stiiiinks. I WANNA LIVE IN WASHINGTON DC!

D.C is pretty, not sure if I'd like to live there though. I did want to live there at one point, sort of leaning towards not wanting to be closer than I already am now.

We have what is possibly the highest mullet count on the entire east coast.

[Igg]

The ordinance survey people..?

It's cool, if someone found out a criminal was hiding here they'd get like a 3 year headstart on the police.

Carson would turn in his grave (if he had one) if he heard that one liner

Michael Phelps and Katie Hoff.

Oh, and our huge port, our state surrounding most of the Chesapeake Bay (largest bay in the world), our crabs, our oysters, our boats (we made many of the ships used during the Revolutionary War, and our state's high level of violence. Plus, we were a border state during the civil war. And the guy who wrote the national anthem wrote it on a ship in Baltimore's port, during the Revolutionary War. <i>And</i> the original copy (or a very, very, very old duplicate. I'm not sure) of the anthem is on display in a museum downtown. And quite a few important battles during that war were fought in Maryland. And then there was Harriet Tubman, and that Frederick Douglas guy. Oooh, and our state's first lady dissed Britney Spears a few months ago! And then Spear Britney issued a public statement about it, insulting her back.

Rich in history and great seafood, Maryland/Baltimore rocks. Even if it's a bit boring at the moment. (Well, aside from Katie Hoff and Phelps, obviously. Go North Baltimore Aquatic Center and the swimmers there!)

ETA: Forgot something.

GO RAVENS! (Superbowl Champions.)

GO TERPS! (Former NCAA Champions.)

GO ORIOLES EVEN THOUGH YOU'VE BEEN REALLY BAD LATELY!

And we have these colleges, here in/around Baltimore: University of Maryland, Loyola, Notre Dame, Johns Hopkins, Johns Hopkins Medical School.

And, duh, we have the Johns Hopkins hospital.

Oh, and Cal Ripken. Can't forget about him. Though I think I spelled his name wrong. Darnit.

ETA: Jada Pinkett Smith grew up and went to school here at BSA, Baltimore School for the Arts (it's a high school- I plan on going there). And then became Will Smith's wife, and a famous, very good, actress.
