Orvil redinbaucker is from indiana...so is John Melloncamp (but he's from the south part...) and umm Former President William Henry Harrison was from indiana...

Not that I care about the famous or anything, but two people from Baltimore that I think are great are John Waters and Anne Tyler. Okay, so Waters' movies are pretty odd but it's fun to watch them just to see familiar neighborhoods, and hey, he was on the Simpsons, so there's fame for you. Anne Tyler's novels are always strongly based in Baltimore, and she often mentions places I've been to. She lives a block away from where I went to High School, but she's pretty much a hermit, so we never saw her.

I was born in Bakersfield; I live in Hawthorne; and my FIRST team is in Hermosa Beach(the school -- though we have built in Redondo Beach for the last two years, and Torrance the year before). So who should get bragging rights for me?

Although I've been in south Florida for 22 years, I come from Baton Rouge, Lousiana. Home to the best politicians money can buy.

This makes me feel all special.

Timothy McVeigh, although he wasn't from here, he planned all of his evil doings in a hotel in Kingman.

Also, this kid who shot some other kids came from here. I don't know if it makes him famous, but if it was on the news, then it must be worth something!

Well, L. Frank Baum, the guy who wrote wizard of oz, was from valparaiso, which is in nw indiana and incidentally has a new team this year.

Gene Shepard (I think that's his name) who wrote A Christmas Story("you're gonna shoot your eye out, you're gonna shoot your eye out") grew up in Hammond. The name of the town in the movie is Hohman, Indiana, which is really Hammond. One of the main thoroughfares in Hammond is Hohman Avenue. Hey, I live on Hohman Avenue!!

Both a someone who hosts Survivor (never watched it) and the person who founded Voicestream actually came from my school here in Bellevue, WA. Except Voicestream isn't sponsoring us. (Hopefully that's "isn't sponsoring us _yet_".)
