What's So Special About Your Home Town

SLYinKC:
I know we've had threads before where we've learned about where everyone is from.  I'd like to take it one step further.  Why don't we all tell a little more about where we live or where we are from.  What makes it special or why in the world anyone would want to live there. 

I am originally from Springfield, Missouri down in SW Missouri.  It is only about an hour north of the famous Branson, Missouri tourist area.

For the past 20 years I have lived in the Kansas City area.  Kansas City is famous for its BBQ, the American Royal Rodeo, the Country Club Plaza, the most fountains of any city in the US, Royals Baseball, Chiefs football, KC Wizards professional soccer and many other things that would make this list just too long. 
 
So what's so special about where you live???

Razor X:
I am hard pressed to think of anything that is really special about where I live.  Not that it isn't a nice place, but it's overcrowded and the property taxes are punitive.  But it's convenient for work and my immediate family lives here.  Were it not for that, I'm not sure I'd be living here myself.  I will say, though, that this time of year, Jersey peaches are a real treat. 

schro:
Born in Oakland, CA at Oak Knoll Naval Hospital, raised in Alameda, home of the Alameda Naval Air Station. The station was closed a few years ago with a decrease in military spending. The Oakland/San Francisco Bay Area is a wonderful place with tons to offer (and a few not so good things to detract).

Although I now live about 100 miles north in a suburb of Sacramento, I'll always consider the East Bay (Oakland/Alameda) my home.

LaGrange still has some cheap and honest mechanics.  After dealing with ones in Atlanta that is a great thing to be known for!

JDog:
I was born in Falmouth Mass on Cape Cod.Dont remember a whole lot as we moved to my mother hometown of Toledo Ohio when I was 7. I remember the ocean and the fishing industry is was very important. I received my first jellyfish sting on a beach nears Woods Hole.

Toledo is a real blue collar city. It has a strong manufacturing background which goes back over 100 years. Toledo is home to the Jeep and the most famous minor league baseball team in the country,The Mud Hens.It is known as the Glass City and for many years was the centre of the worlds glass production. Toledos hometown son,Jamie Farr is best known as the Section 8 Klinger on M*A*S*H. Also Tony Packos Hot Dogs which Paul can assure you,kick some serious ass.

Toledo has a large ethnic population of Poles,Hungarians,Lebanese(my family) and Greeks.

Toledo has its problems with crime and unemployment just as any decent size city in America does. It was good to me growing up and and It was hard to leave, She is in my thoughts daily.
