    Been a while since I created a thread, eh?

    Anyways, the rules are pretty simple - you post what your current hometown is well-known for.


    My city, Fall River, is well known for:
    • the Lizzie Borden axe-murders in 1892.
    • the Braga Bridge, completed in 1965.
    • the Government Center, made during the Brutalist architecture era.
    • the Heritage State Park and Battleship Cove.
    • Durfee High School.
    • Being crime-infested (and just being a bad city in general).
    • it's textile mills.

    Don't forget that it's overpopulated as fuck and the most common car there is either a Crown Vic, Sienna or Prius.
