    I live in the Atlantic regions of Canada. Here in Halifax, we are known for our lobster. It is probably the best lobster in the world. It comes fresh straight out of the Atlantic Ocean. We make a lot of profit on that.

The bigest one was in the late 90's, early May. For some reason I forgot which day. I should know, because I was in an airplane a few hours before it hit, scary crap. But I guess you could say we are known for the big tornado back in the 80's because there are tornados left and right here

    Good schools, safe community, good restuarants, good place to raise children. Was rated one of the top 100 places to live in America. My town was ranked like around 80 I think.

    My dad grew up somewhat close to where Mickey Mantle grew up, so that was what his town was known for.

    New City, NY - Nicest town in New York state, great community, best school district in Mid-NY state, safest community in Rockland County. (currently life here)Queens, NY - not much, just in NYC, known for all its different vibes, y'know. (was born and lived here untill i was 5 and go there every other weekend)Woodbridge, NJ (grew up there, when i was 5, lived there untill i was 10) known for its school athletics. it was kind of the hood of that NJ area. i learned how to fight there (had gotten myself in to some street fights, but mainly from my brother, and my MMA class. there was this great place there which teached mixed martial arts)
