Wow. I know that from the movies... Like 80's and 90's movies... Cool. What happened? Why is no one into them nowadays?
I want to get a frickin' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airstream someday. That would be so retro-cool. It's like something that could be the Iron Man secret mobile research thingy, with a few modifications. Like hovering a few feet above the ground LoL.
The economy in general and of course the price of gas in particular has them if not on the ropes then staggering and blurry-eyed. Our town of about 5,000 would be pretty much toast if they went under. My best friend's dad took over as CEO this Spring and has been the face on tv announcing layoffs and shutdowns. He doesn't sleep much.
That Airstream is pretty sweet! I'd love to go camping and watch Plan 9 From Outer Space in it!
I was just reminded of this. It's not my hometown, but where I live now was the set for Everwood, some of Footloose, and a couple of scenes in The Stand.
Napoleon, OH: One of a handful of Campbell's soup plants. Famous corvette collection/dealer.
Athens, OH: Ohio University and its infamous Halloween party.
Cincinnati, OH: Big town, tons of history and "famous fors." Too much to list.
Silverton, CO: Famous Durango & Silverton narrow gauge railroad. Largest fireworks show on the CO's western slope. Possibly the first town in America to have AC power.
Wild Bill Hickock shot his first man in the downtown square. There's still a small plaqard in the street where he stood when he shot. It's a funny historical spot, you have to actually step into traffic and crouch down to the street to read the small thing.
People of notable importance (other than myself) Brad Pitt, Bob Barker, Kathleen Turner and John Ashcroft () are from there.
Funny looking, pointy white building that looks like waves or something
