What's the most intersting thing near where you live?

My hometown is really small and boring but the b-52's Love Shack video was filmed 6 minutes from my house.

the actual house is still standing...the checkered roof is still in tact...it looks like an abandoned pee wee's playhouse... there's a huge gate around it now though once you get down the long road.. Apparently more than a few people thought it would be a good story to tell if they actually shacked up in the love shack.

There's nothing really that interesting near here that I can think of right now, but my city was named the second most miserable city in the country!
:D

Uhmmm, this show called Eureka was filmed in my town at 5 Corners. In one of the episodes Robin Williams was in it, so he was just chillin downtown talking to anyone who walked by.
And, in the next town over, the show Supernatural is filmed there. Jared ( Sam ) and Jensen (Dean) are really nice guys.
And, Jacob Hoggard from Hedley is from my town.
That's about it I guess.

I don't really know, aha. I remember reading it but I don't remember now.

Maybe it's because it's hella ghetto here.

I've seen that on the Sci Fi channel before..i didn't really watch the whole thing, but it was really strange...it was a girl and she was in some talent show or something

i've heard of supernatural too but never seen it.

i bet they have extra casting...whenever a commercial or something is shot around here, they always have it in the local newspaper lol

Stand By Me was filmed about 30 minutes from here on the train tracks outside of Cottage Grove. Every time we drove by them, my brother used to point them out.

Yeah, I've never actually seen Eureka. But I've seen most of the filming.
I watch Supernatural every week lol.

Yeah, I've never seen anything for extra casting in the papers or anything. But when they were filming Eureka, they would just pick random people that were walking by and ask them if they wanted a small part in the show.

Sleepy hollow is close to me too...the tours always take you to the graveyard where apparently the real people that inspired washington irving to write the headless horseman were buried

10 minutes from my house is the first jewish settlement in the U.S....Frederick Goudy also had a studio set up there at one point...he's the guy who created the font Goudy...Apparently lots of spooooky things have gone on there, but the home has a rather pleasant history so it can't be that bad
