Your Hometown Uniqueness

AAAAAAAH you must all go to Ireland, I promise you it's the best place in the world!!

And who can resist a muscley young Irish lad with an Irish accent?!

All your home towns look so lovely, I can't wait to visit America and Canada. I have a friend studying in Kansas at the minute and she loves it (she also says she's never seen so many fast food places in her life!!)

Well I grew up in Ireland but I'm studying in Norwich in England at the minute. It's England's second city and it's quite cute!

I would love to go to europe!!!!! so jealous !!!

These are all basically places in TN, we have a street called state street where one side is TN and the other side is VA

Bristol is the birthplace of Country music

In 1998, the Birthplace of Country Music Alliance, along with local congressional officials help to secure passage in the United States Congress of House Concurrent Resolution 214 which recognized Bristol as the "Birthplace of Country Music

Where I live, we celebrate MULE DAYS...thats right. MULE days. Nothing like a parade of Mules to kick off summer.:laugh:

Not sure if we have any parade of mules ....LOL...but I sure see alot of jacka$$es parading around here in Indiana.

:laugh: Yeah it's the area of the city that's really really old (I'm not even going to pretend to know my history, so I'll just say they date back to the olden days :laugh: ). All the buildings have shifted and now they're all wonky!!

County Cork is a really lovely bit of Ireland, it's right on the bottom aswell so it doesn't rain so much there. Dublin city is lovely aswell, just verrrrrry expensive.

I loved England when I visited!! I really want to see Ireland! I have friends that live there...so I will need to get there!

I just want to say WONKY!! :laugh:

I live in a small town in nc. Most people have never heard of the town but we actually have a university here. Western Carolina Univeristy. Go Catamounts.... We have the smoky mountain railroad and the train wreck from the movie The Fugitive was filmed here. I actually worked at the hospital they show in the movie.


I also lived in Maine for a year and my oldest was born there. We lived in Winter Harbor on the navy base and I had an apartment in the old Rockefeller mansion. The navy bought and refurbished it. Ours was above the CO.

Jamboree in the Hills
Located only a few minutes from St. Clairsville, is one of the largest country music concerts in the Mid-West. Jamboree in the Hills[10] has been located near St. Clairsville for 30 years as of July 2006, and continues to attract country music fans from all over the United States and Canada. It is considered the Super Bowl of Country Music.




Downtown St.Clairsville...very cool courthouse. Built in 1886

I live in VA now, but mom still lives in town so at least I get to visit

I grew up in Medford MA. Lets see, it was once both the RUM making capital and the Ship building capital of the colonies (in the 1700s), it was also the main route that Paul Revere rode through.

Now I live in Beverly MA. that was the port that General Washington kept the first United States Navy (not that it was much of a Navy at the time).

We got andy warhols grave here. we also have the museum of his namesake which is the largest single artist museum in the world. sadly near here we have the site where the plane went down on 9/11. I am sure there is more but we are the birthplace of Fred Rogers and one of the old song and dancers fromn old musicals gene kelly? and a few others. We have the worst baseball team in baseball too hahahahaha
