No, I live in Alabama now, but I'm originally from central Kentucky.

Ugh, for me it’s the Netflix special “Making a Murderer”. I live like a mile from the Manitowoc Co Courthouse. I had a few college classes with Teresa, and she took our engagement photos (she was a photographer at Picture People) so seeing people and places I know in the national/world spotlight is just surreal.

I live in a beautiful town on the shore of Lake Michigan and the negative worldwide attention brought to us because of the actions of a select few just sucks.

Ahh I see. I guess there were more than one army depot with leaky nerve gas stored! (They finally destroyed the last of ours several years ago)

Where I grew up was famous for being the home of Lucas Films. Also hometown of Jared Goff, quarterback for Los Angeles Chargers. The town I live in now isn't famous for anything.

I believe they are supposed to start on theirs next year. There was also some mustard gas and other nasty stuff that was to be destroyed first.

A spectacular fire at a race track over 40 years ago. Probably the biggest news ever in the town. Over 10,000 were in attendance at the time. Three people died, a fireman, a track employee, and a customer. No horses were killed or injured.

The track was completely destroyed and rebuilt about six years later. Unfortunately it wasn't as successful as the original and closed in 2001. Big box retail shopping, condos, and restaurants are now on the site.
