I like where I live a lot. it has its problems but it'll definitely always be home!!

also my old HS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oley_Valley_High_School#Notable_events

The School made the national news on January 24, 2002 when 62 and a half year-old bus driver Otto Nuss took 13 children on an unauthorized five-hour detour of 185 kilometers (115 miles)[4] on what was supposed to be a six-mile, 15-minute trip to Berks Christian School in Birdsboro, Pennsylvania.[5] On September 23, 2003, Nuss was sentenced to four years in prison for federal kidnapping.

also had a shotgun

A student, who wearing a gorilla mask climbed onto the school roof on February 15, 2005 as a prank, has been acquitted of disorderly conduct and trespassing charges despite prompting police, the FBI, a bomb squad and a state police helicopter to respond.

the whole school was evacuated for hours, and the building was surrounded by MEN WITH GUNS. the dude jumped off a lower roof and made a break for it, got tackled by a couple police officers

there's not much to do in new zealand so at least every town has an AVID WIKIPEDIA EDITOR

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Bay,_Ontario

That is the town where I lived for more than half of my life. It's a nice city that sits between two lakes. It prides itself as the "Gateway to the North" which connects Northern and Southern Ontario.

It's the home town of the worst premier to ever lead Ontario (Mike Harris). It's also home to Troy Hurtubise, who is famous for his "Ursus armour". which is a giant metal suit he built to protect himself against bear attacks. He also claims to have invented a device that can see through walls. There's also a military base which was home to "The Hole", a three story radar/monitoring complex that was entirely underground, which was the Canadian counterpart to the Cheyenne Mountain complex.

I was born in Columbus, Ohio which is a fairly interesting city because of all the shit going on here that no one knows about. They just think oh corn country, they must have no culture. They are wrong about Columbus. That said, most of Ohio isnt worth much outside the major cities and even then Cincinnati and every other metropolitan area other than Columbus and Cleveland really suck so yeahhh.

But I spent the first twelve years of my life in a town (now a city) called Powell. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powell,_Ohio

known mostly for its farmers market, musical and festive events and its proximity to one of the best zoos in the world (The Columbus Zoo. You know.. Jack Hanna and Jane Goodall? Columbus Zoo people)

other famous people that live in or are associated with Powell

    * Melina Kanakaredes, Actress, current role in CSI New York - Husband & brothers own a local home and Greek restaurant
    * Mike Vrabel, NFL Football Player
    * Robert Smith, NFL Football Player
    * Michael Redd, NBA Basketball Player
    * Rick Nash, NHL Hockey player
    * Jon Busch, Professional Soccer Player
    * Chris Perry, professional golfer
    * William White, NFL football player (Detroit Lions and Atlanta Falcons)
    * R.J. Umberger, NHL hockey player (Flyers, Blue Jackets)

And then I moved to a place called Delaware. A really strange post-industrial mainstreet USA type place that isnt in the Rust Belt but is still really shitty and redneck as fuck. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delaware,_Ohio

We have the biggest chariot race in the world in Delaware: The Little Brown Jug. Its actually harness racing, but basically the Brown Jug is the Triple Crown of Harness Racing and sometime I want to go there tripping balls and then write a story about it like Hunter S Thompson did with that oh so famous race in his hometown.

Ohio Weslyan university is in Delaware. Apparently it is a really good liberal arts school, but it is expensive as fuck and I dont know why you'd want a liberal arts school degree unless you want to teach High School so yeahhhh... Also Rutherford B Hayes was born in Delaware. Where his house used to be is now a BP Station, but there is still a historical marker lol. Branch Rickey and Buck Rodgers also were born in Delaware for any of you baseball people you know how important these dudes were to the ending segregation in baseball and the earliest stirrings of the Civil Rights movement. However, Delaware county is now one of the most republican counties in the country and also happens to be one of the fastest growing in the country because of the school district I went to high school at. I'll give you an idea of how the area has changed: when I went to kindergarden 12 years ago, the entire district K-12 was in one building. As of now, 5 months after I graduated, there are 3 high schools, 4 middle schools and between 16-20 elementaries. I lost track.

so yeah thats my hometowns in a nutshell

Born and bred.
