City People

[hidmickey:myantidrug]

So somehow or another, I got to thinking about the famous people that your town may have spit out to familiarity with a majority of people. So, state your city and any well known people that came out of it.


For me, Buffalo, New York:

Goo Goo Dolls
The guy who does the voice of Salem on Sabrina the Teenage Witch
Grover Cleveland
Millard Fillmore
John Stevens (American Idol). He's also a friend of the family.
Partly wishful thinking: Tom Sartori. He's in the house band for 'The Singing Bee' and he tours and stuff and has an album out. This is basically a plug for another family friend who actually has a decent claim.
Jim Kelly (I'm assuming that all football fans would know him)
and of course, OJ.

Well, I have no clue if any famous people came from my city I just moved to but the city I lived in there were:

TOLEDO,OHIO
Allison Stone(Max on Suite Life, one of the kids from Cheaper by the dozen )

Katie Holmes(must I say anything about her? )

 

[CheerExtreme]

Well there are many, and some I know personally. There is: (ohh, oklahoma.)
Reba Macentire
Patton Manning
The Hanson Brothers (I used to play with them and had little play-dates!!)
Garth Brooks (I have been to his house a few times. His living room is the size of a football field.)

Patton Manning

I'm then making the assumption that along with Peyton you also got Eli?

Pretty Ricky and The Rock live somewhere in my town or close to it.

My friend actually has seen The Rock a few times because he goes to the Chicken restuarant next to her shop.

There is a couple from around my area that I'm super proud of.
But I'm not going to say who, because I don't want people to go look them up and figure out where I live.

I'm not trying to stalk you or anything, I'm just curious about one thing- is it "a couple" that you're proud of (meaning like a famous duo) or a 'couple' meaning "a few"?

 

[::Snow_White::]

No, I didn't mean you I meant just like if random people came on here.

It's just one band really, but they are not from where I live but they lived around my area. :]

I figured that. I just didn't want it to seem like because I was asking a question that I was trying to get more out of you. I don't have the patience or time to go and find people.

No, I know. I got confused by my own sentence too on "Couple".
