Notable Residents in your Town.

[acesupercoolme]

It doesn't say for mine, but I can tell you that there's gonna be a TON of famous/well known people from Milan, especially designers and athletes.

 

[PurpleDucky]

Off the bat, I know the Killers and Panic! ( I think ) are from here

 

[cindys_castle2011]

Haha. Celebrities in my town? Our celebrities are, our basketball players, literally. I live in a town that has less that 1000 people, 500 pre-k - seniors. So.. I doubt any Notable Residents here.

 

[BAMBIFOREVER]

i dont have anyone in my town but in a nerby town they have Ray Fosse - Major League Baseball Player.

Rick Droit - Independent Recording Artist

 

[Sports Blondie]

What's a metroplex?

a large group of cities between two metropolitan areas (large areas)

 

[angelcake170]

Mine doesn't have anybody famous :l
( But the next town to us has the largest KFC in the USA! Does that count for anything? )

 

[HSMndLKfan92]

Same :]
I must live right by you...

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...

Nice. War of the World was filmed where I used to live. That was pretty cool when I found out they were filming there.

Ya i kno BORING but that's all I could find and what I mean by close to *place* is that she was born in a town close to mine.
