GogglesnTeeth 6 #52 January 23, 2007 My home town is famous for Buffalo Bill! His former home. Home of "Scouts Rest Ranch." He supposable invented the sport of rodeo there in the 1800's for his wild west show. Don't believe me.... look up good ole North Platte, NE. Yeeeehaaaw! Cool for a few years, the old west thing as a little kid, but boring as hell once you reach the age of 13. Goggles and Teeth "You fall like a greased safe!!!"

shermanator 3 #60 January 23, 2007 Orange County, California well, as the name suggests... Oranges. but that was years ago.. umm, what else.. Disnneyland, the original Knotts Berry Farm, SMOG, not as bad as LA, but, gangs, shooting, and all tht fun stuff. Ocean and gay tv shows made on us that portray only 2% of the total population. IE..

gonzalesna 0 #61 January 23, 2007 orange county is a county, not an individual location... but the county as a whole was very large in the agricultural scene at one time. The I-405 used to hold the world record for largest traffic jam as well. I don't know if it still does or not. (Not gonna take the time to look right now.) I always thought it was a bit humorous that they put the city of orange in the county of orange.Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flygirl1 0 #62 January 23, 2007 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.Fly like a girl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lug 4 #64 January 23, 2007 Don’t feel so bad Bobbi Portland Oregon has a lot of good things but they are only elusion. 1) The most liberal city in the Union, to the point of socialist borderline commonest 2) A tram for a F-ing Hospital that cost tax payers $57 million for that provides a 90 second ride from the Willamette river up a hill to Oregon Heath Science University. 3) Tri-Met a model for public transpiration, bus and light rail in the United States that so efficient that can not pay their fringe benefits expenses from the fare box.

Thanatos340 1 #65 January 23, 2007 The city I currently live in is famous for.... The Big Chicken. I think there is a local ordinance that requires that all Directions to any place in Marietta use "The Big Chicken" as a point of reference. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 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! My wife is hotter than your wife.
