    Seen on a blog...

    Who's the most famous person from your hometown.

    I was born in New York, so I'll pass on that. However, I grew up somewhere else.

    My most famous person:

    Carol Lawrence

    I went to elementary school with her cousin.

    And, of course, Joey Aiuppa.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Oh, Mrs. George grew up in Cicero, IL.

      I won't go there, LOL.

        It can go a number of different ways but I’ll go with the DC Madam.

          I grew up in Bellwood, IL which was where Gene Cernan grew up. My first 2 years were spent in Westchester, IL which is the home of actress Kathryn Hahn.

            Chris Farley comes to mind.

            Education is extremely important.

              Depends on what you mean by 'famous'

              Robert Service, Canadian poet.

              Or maybe Sir Richard Arkwright, founding father of the industrial revolution

              Neither of them are really famous.

              My favourite choice is Nick Park, creator of Wallace and Gromit.

              I was only joking

                Woody Harrelson. He went to my high school in Lebanon.

                John Legend went to mine in Springfield.

                        No one even remotely famous. But where I was born, the closest town over, William H. Macy and the King of the Strings, Joe Maphis.

                            Now my hometown was 1 square mile and had 3500 people. If you drive another mile down the road you get to the next 3500 person town, which was where Joe Montana was born…

                                      I was born in Alexandria, VA so there is no shortage of famous d00ds, like George Washington. From a more modern twist, I guess you could say it's cool that Luke Skywalker went to the same high school as me (obviously an earlier class), and Dave Grohl was also from my hometown.
