Tell us something special about your town

Home of the only IMAX theatre in New Zealand

Well where I'm living at the Moment has beautiful countryside its a 10 minute walk to a Sherlock filming location, but also a 20 min bus ride will take me to where Simon Pegg used to live in his early years and another 20minutes from there i can be at another filming location where they have done stuff for Harry Potter, Doctor Who and Sherlock

Hello again. Where I live they have a yearly Cornish pasty festival which has had visitors from Mexico which has links to Cornwall and tin-mining and where there is also a Mexican pasty festival.

Last year on the High Street they made, cooked and distributed portions of gigantic pasty.

Many famous stars - ooh, do name a few names.

I agree, though, if they are not from Doctor Who, I doubt I will know them.

How about something about your neighborhood then, or just your block, even a small area, has a tale to tell.

Just a block from me is Archie Campbell's home he grew up in. Just a minor celebrity from a country television show, but a very funny man, who came from right here.

Perth: named the City Of Lights by John Glenn when he flew over it. The mayor of Perth got everyone to turn their lights on so he could see them. It also helped that it's the most-isolated state capital in the world. It's the home of Heath Ledger (RIP) and Tim Minchin. It is also the least historically-minded city I've ever been to: I once looked up some historical sites I could take my class to and found that you could do a walking tour of all the historical buildings in a lunch break as many of them were torn down during the 70s and 80s when Western Australia began to boom.

The town I grew up in was Mohawk, Tennessee.


Just across the county line from Bulls Gap, a very rural town, made up of aprox. 50 square miles, with a population of less than 25 per square mile back in the 70's.


In the 60's and early 70's, Sam Riley Chevrolet sold more new Chevrolet cars than any other dealership in the country.


During the Civil War, the railroad bridge was destroyed by the infamous bridge burners, several of which, were tried and hung and are now buried in what is now Mosheim, TN, but was then still part of Mohawk.

I live in Philadelphia I feel most tourists come here for the Rocky Steps but we also maybe signed the Declaration of Independence here.
