Notable Residents in your Town.

[disney100666]

I just went to Wikipedia and looked up my town. (I really had nothing better to do) I came across this section in the page;

Notable residents
F. Lee Bailey, attorney
Steve Carrell and his wife Nancy Walls, comedians
Joe Castiglione, baseball radio announcer, Boston Red Sox
Susan Cooper, a writer
Jeff Corwin, naturalist, host of The Jeff Corwin Experience on Animal Planet
Reginald Fessenden 1866-1932, radio pioneer
Joey Kramer, Brad Whitford and Steven Tyler of the rock band Aerosmith
Sean Morey, Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Lance Norris, writer and actor
Jesse Reed, nail manufacturer and inventor of ship's steering grear in 1847, 1849, and 1858
Daniel Webster 1782–1852, statesman
Edward Winslow 1595-1655, Governor of Plymouth Colony
Jay Rafuse-Entrepreneur

I've yet to see Steve Carell here but my friend said his parents live in her neighborhood and he lives here in the summer.

My family see's Steven Tyler often.

My mom also told me Sean Morey graduated the high school here.

So, this lead me to this thread, what are some "celebrities" in your town or area?

BTW, if I seem in any which way to brag, I'm 100% not. =/

And mostly people just film movies in my town.
It's close to the city, but it's still got the whole nostalgic "main street" type downtown, so film makers love it.

Julia Roberts, Ashton Kutcher, Zach Braff, Bernie Mac... they've all done movies here.

Plus we've got a lotta senators. Don't know what to make of that...
