My Schoolboard trustee never heard of Auschwitz. She became internationally famous.

Bonnie and Clyde robbed a church in my town. Except, not really, it was an early scene in that movie from the '60s.

It was a grocery store back then.

Dude I literally live in Florida. But I'm No Florida man.

Hey buddy, according to dozens of youtubers and podcasters, my personal information is already out there for every one unless I pay $10.99 to an internet scrubber

In my state its probably the Enumclaw guy who died fucking a horse.

Not exactly, he was being fucked by a horse 🐎🐴🐎.

That's why we say in Enumclaw, it's better to give than to receive.

I visited family in Enumclaw the other week and barely managed to not bring that up

Yearly recurring protests and riots on may 1st.

So much so that we now have riot-tourists that only come to experience "throwing a stone at a bank" or "getting arrested for lighting a garbage bin on fire"

Not my current town, but the town I grew up in.

In short, volcanoes. The town in built next to a lake. The biggest lake in the country. The lake is a caldera crater, from one of the biggest volcanic eruptions ever that we know of. And fun fact, it's still slightly active, and several hundred years overdue.

There's a reason it's sometimes call Methdesto.

Castells - a competition of building human towers as high as possible.

It has a long history where I live in Catalonia - there's a good museum of it in the Villafranca team's practice facility :-)

Lawton, OK: We're not called the 'Shady 580' for no reason.

[–] HuudaHarkiten@piefed.social 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Since you didn't actually answer the question, I'm going to have to assume that your town is known to be in the shade.

[–] DFX4509B@lemmy.wtf 2 points 22 hours ago

More like we're known for a lot of petty crimes among other things, like, someone's going to steal anything that isn't tied down in your yard, and in some cases even when it's tied down, someone will just cut the chain or cable and make off with it.

Swamps, cigars and drug smuggling.
