Atlanta's sometimes referred to as the "Phoenix city" down here because it was burnt down during the Civil War and rebuilt afterwards.

Sandy Springs is noted for seeking to gain their indepence from Atlanta in a similar manner as the American colonies from GB and by that I mean, we were tired of paying high taxes.

Hmm, JFK and Conan Obrian lived really close to my house.

Sydney, home of great beaches, Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Probably the best standard of living of major cities worldwide and no violence to speak of.

Nothing ever really happens here because everyone's having a bbq, at the beach or the pub!

In respose to the question, No. My town has nothing special about it. At all.

Thank god, I thought I was going to be the only person who lives in Maine.

The guy who invented Scrabble or at least the guy who first started manufacturing scrabble came from my town - he started making the game in his house. And we are famous for the man who put his wife through a wood chipper about 10 years back. Also, there is a flagpole in the middle of our main street. That's about it. Oh, it is also boring as hell here and filled with a lot of old people.

[I GOT SERVED]

I lied. I live in the town where the first ever Methodist services were conducted in NH. Now that's exciting.

[ritz627]

Oh yea, and there is also a maximum security prison just about a mile or within a mile of our high school.

Do you know how to make a shank?

FYI I really don't care I just assumed some prisoners can teach.

This is the best my town can come up with :

Competition from the South and abroad led to the closure of most of the textile mills. The city is developing new uses for these structures. The population has stabilized at around 40,000 in each census from 1940 to the present.

Wow...so all the mills closed and no one wants to move here. Pretty good stuff!

Dane Cook grew up in my town.

So did Uncle Sam.

thats about it.

Sandy McCarthy (NHL) grew up in my town. And Rikki Lovejoy grew up in my town. Search him on Youtube.

Sydney's about the tamest place on earth! If you want to see what fighting is, go to London.

I've never even heard of a pub brawl in Sydney, nevermind seen it. The biggest thing I've come across here are organised gang fights in the carpark, hardly a split skull between the combatants though, so you can hardly call it fighting!
