What is your hometown famous for?

I had no idea there was a mini castle! I was thinking of the Chick-fil-A restaurant, actually, but I like the castle better.

orange county is a county, not an individual location...

I know this, but if considering something a hometown for me, i would have to use the county... since we have cities, rather than towns. hmm, I guess i have lived in Anaheim more than any other, but i have also lived in Garbage errr garden grove, be.. buena park, and some others when i was younger.

My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.

"Birthplace of the American Circus"... Somers, NY

Our townhall is in the "Elephant Hotel", which is just down the road from Bailey Court.

The Bailey of Barnum and Bailey lived in my town with his elephant, a small commemorative statue of which stands in front of the aptly named hotel turned town hall.

One of the towns I grew up in is famous because of JPL The jet Propulsion Laboratory. The barn I used to keep my horses at was located right next to it. Only a chain link fence away. It was really unnerving the first time a big helicopter flew in right over my head and landed less than 200ft away.

Is that the lab that had one of the biggest explosions in U.S. history ever recorded on camera? I've seen the video a bunch of times. Powerful blast, and the shock wave destroys a building next door and you could see the wave moving across the desert floor... I was like, wow....

I think JPL is in Pasadena, whihc I thought was more famous for the Rose Parade.

The explosion you are thinking of was in Henderson, Nevada at a rocket fuel plant (well, key component of rocket fuel) - Pacific Engineering Production Company. When the shuttle was grounded, they kept produciing it and stored it outside in the desert sun. I think 8 million pounds of it went kaboom!

Yep I used to live in Pasadena well I actually lived in La canada witch is right across the street, literally. I forgot about the rose parade. You are talking to a science major(ie science nerd) after all
