When I was a kid I lived in Mooresville, In for a while. Home of John Dillenger and the pro wrestler Dick The Bruiser.
Where I live now is where people go when they don't want to be found.

So where exactly is that and who doesn't want to be found that lives there?    :big grin:

Where I live now is Greensburg IN,  famous for a bird taking a poop on the courthouse roof and a tree growing out of it.

City has a palace that was built in 1715. The city is also the seat of two of the highest courts, the Federal Constitutional Court and the Federal Court of Justice.

It has been speculated that it was a model for Washington, D.C. as both cities have a centre from which the streets radiate outward.

Glen Seaborg, (Nobel Prize winner, Manhattan Project, etc.), and Kelly Johnson, (P-38, SR-71, Lockheed Skunk Works, etc.), were born here. Also the home of the National Ski Hall of Fame. Anatomy of a Murder filmed here and in the surrounding area. The rest of us are small potatoes next to these guys.

John D. Voelker, better known by his pen name Robert Traver was also born here. He wrote anatomy of a Murder and many other books. I used to see him around town quite a bit when I was younger. He was always friendly and nice to talk to.

Interesting topic.

But I can't think of anything noteworthy about my home town, which isn't big enough to be a real town.  It was a rural slum and still is to some extent.  It is seven miles from a larger town, near where they made the plutonium for the first bomb on Japan.  We all glow in the dark.

The local newspaper is in the larger town of course.  They annoy me to this day because if I or anyone from our rural village did anything good, they put in the paper that we were from the big town.  When we got arrested or did something bad, they named the small village and said we were from there.  One local kid made it to the Rose Bowl and then to the pros briefly, and I loved it that he always said that he was from the rural village and would never let them say he was from the nearby town.  I never spoke to him but he felt as I did about the local news coverage.  Less than trivia...
