My Hometown

Whee · 02-09-2009, 08:32 PM

Did a thread like this in another life, thought it would be fun to do again with all the new inmates around.

Just go to Wikipedia and "wiki" your hometown and post a link...

Here is mine. Lived here for the first 28 years of my life, still have friends and family there...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kokomo,_Indiana

And here is where I currently hang my hat...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Beloit,_Illinois

Kokomo definitely more interesting...
