• Hey all, I was just wondering, what is unique about your home town?  I just found out an interesting fact about my home town of Washington IN.  The very first clothes hanger in the world was made here in my home town.  I thought that was interesting because before I thought about it..it seems like clothes hangers were always around....but...I guess we are the first ones to make them.  So whats unique about your town?
