I suppose for being cold, beautiful, and having mountains. And lots of suicide for some reason. Oh, and salmon. And the Iditarod, even though only the ceremonial start takes place where I live.

I live in a village called sheen in england that are tug of war champions somehow

it is only known at all really because it has a place that was voted either the best BBQ in the country(U.S.A.) or the best BBQ in the state(Tezas)

oops that was meant to be texas

Manchester, CT was the world's #2 exporter of silk in the 40's. WE supplied material for the US army's parachutes in WWII

being near Catalina, which will be great for my snorkeling certification

scuba not snorkel :P

Manlyman, hate at tell ya, but that's what Memphis is famous for. That and being a crime capital :P
U probably think the best in the state. That's my guess
Oh yeah another thin for me is THE NEW YORK GIANTS! (even though MetLife stadium is in nj)

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person who posted from New Jersey. We got Atlantic City, the Las Vegas of the East.

Madison is known for its beautiful bodies of water, the University of Wisconsin, the capital, and Scott Walker(not in a good way though).

High Unemployment: 9.9%

Yup, thats about it.

Oh yeah. And Baltimore is known for having hobos. Lots of them. Come visit us to see for yourself.

Looking up random facts...

The average age is almost 20 years below the state average

The average income 10,000$ below the state average (which I'm guessing is because of one small rich community and an extremely large poor one)

The average house price is almost 200,000$ above the state average (which doesn't make sense with the preceding fact)

That's about it.

not much i can think of but probably known for all the tornado related things..everytime theres a storm theres always a tornado warning with it..so annoying

Colorado has mountains and unpredictable weather.
