My hometown of Whitman, MA gave birth to Steve Smith, the drummer for Journey and Jon Bauman, better known as Bowser from Sha Na Na. With these rock and roll legends, I really don't see how Whitman can be topped.
Whitman is also the brithplace of Toll House Cookies, and actually where chocolate chip cookies themselves were invented. Just more proof that Whitman rocks all.

-Evergreen State College
-Sleater Kinney got its name from one of our streets (not sure if they were actually from here though)

where i currently reside it has the 'distinction' of being designated a 'Tree City USA'.....:D i honestly do not know how many cities/towns/villages have this distinction, i just know our little village does. you must have a cetain # of trees in your city/town/village in relation to square miles i believe. that's about all i know. i don't know of any celebrities from here, tho there are PLENTY from long island in general, just not our little spot.
Escaped to the Pacific Northwest almost 8 years ago where I have been residing in North Bend, WA east of Seattle in the Cascade foothills. When we first got here, we were like, "Why does so much of this area look so familiar?" Didn't take long to figure out that many of the exterior shots for David Lynch's TV cult classic, Twin Peaks, were filmed here and in neighboring Snoqualmie.
Well the first thing that would pop into anyone's head...we have the Angels, Ducks(boooooooooo), and Disneyland.
Gwen Stefani and the rest of No Doubt, Jeff Buckley, Milo Ventimiglia, Dana Schofield. Numerous other singers, actors, and athletes and junk.

This is the greatest band in the world -- Ben Harper
this guy coached our rugby team to their biggest achievment in 30 years. He lived real near me when I was a kid, he was a top rugby player and anywhere he went he'd have a trail of kids following him in awe
