For me It would be the airport, Shannon airport in Shannon, Clare, Rep. of Ireland. Mainly because the American military jets filled there with the war in Iraq and loads of protests went on about it. Geroge Bush also visited back in 2005 and its the 3rd biggest airport in the country. I know your probably blown away by the sheer awesomeness of it all :P what bout ye?

Apparently my town made alot of Union uniforms back in the Civil War and also General George Washington camped here with the Continental Army. Although nothing in recent times, its a relatively small town.

When I was in 4th or 5th grade living in Memphis, we did a field trip to Nashville, which for reasons passing all understanding has a complete reproduction of the Parthenon.

The guy who first discovered (not settled) North America, Leif Ericsson, lived in my country (Iceland), that's about the only thing we're famous for other than owing Britain money, Björk, Sigurrós and Eve.

Well it typically is pornography as the San Fernando valley in Los Angeles was long tagged as the pornography captial of the world, but with advent of the internet over the couple of decades I'm not sure how true that is anymore.

Where I live is where the Cowboys used to play. That was the only thing my hometown had going for it and now it's gone. EDIT: Forgot that I reside in two places; school and my hometown. I'm currently in "The Live Music Capital of the World."

This is simply awesome.

I am more eager to visit that in stead of the real Parthenon now.
