Is there something special about your town or city that you can share with us? I'm near Sacramento, the Capital of California. We are located in a valley and surrounded by two large rivers. We were an instrumental part of the Gold Rush and the railroad that connects the East to the West during the Industrial period. We have the Sacramento Kings and the RiverCats minor league baseball. How about you?

When I look out the front door I see a line of beatiful mountains. When I look out the back door, I can see the Mexico flag. Yes, I live that close to Mexico!

Even though it is small (about 4,000), at least 5 famous people and the current governor came from here.

I live on a barrier island.We're a very small town surrounded by others like us.Probably, our biggest claim to fame is that we are the birthplace of southern rock. You can't throw a stone without hitting someone who is related to a Van Zant.

Minneapolis is the City of Lakes. We've got lakes, rivers, ponds and streams. I now live closer to downtown and miss hearing the waves while falling asleep, but a walk around the lake or by the river is never more than 10 minutes away. (In the spring, summer and fall that is.)
